Property Description

There are four studios (chalets) set well apart from one another to ensure complete privacy. Each one commands views over the valley's sweeping pasture, vineyards, chestnut groves and as far as Mt Buffalo.

The modern Australian architecture is as cutting edge as it looks and more. Glenrowan granite, corrugated iron, timber and rusted steel are signature elements in the unique integrated design. The emphasis on uncompromising luxury is admirably matched with eco-friendly, energy efficient measures. Using green energy, grey water recycling, heat exchange pumps for hot water, double glazing and total wrap-around insulation, the retreats are environmentally sustainable without making concessions to the creature comforts of guests.

The appreciation of nature and natural materials is also expressed in the colours and textures of the interior design, supported by stylish custom-built furniture, such as the Queensland walnut timber bed and the cord and leather lounge setting. The funky ensuite has a vaulted ceiling and a full glass wall with a perfectly private bushland view - except, perhaps, for peeping wombats!

Each retreat is fully self-contained with a kitchen area for those who choose to be self sufficient.

Special features

The Buckland breakfast lounge offers a sumptuous modern Australian breakfast buffet and cooked breakfast. The lounge doubles as a central guest lounge offering deep leather couches, a book and DVD library and WiFi internet access.

Conference facilities

The Buckland Cafe can be used for private functions and weddings. The Cafe features both indoor and outdoor dining areas and a lounge area.

Recreational facilities

A private walking track leads through the 60 acres of lush bush on the property.
