What makes a stay here romantic
The setting does most of the work. The cottages rest along a quiet ridge with lake, valley or garden outlooks, and there are no crowds, no restaurant bookings and no driving after dinner. Your evening is a spa bath for two, a wood fire and a meal that arrives at your door.
Each cottage has an outdoor daybed for two, so you can watch the sun go down over the ranges and stay out for the stars. This is an adult retreat, which keeps the grounds calm and private.
Choose your cottage
Each cottage has its own outlook and character. All of them include a queen bed with ensuite, a double spa bath, a wood log fire, a private verandah with a BBQ, reverse cycle air conditioning and a Nespresso kitchenette.

Planning tips for a special occasion
Book dinner and spa time early for Wednesday to Saturday, as the day spa and in-cottage dinners run on those days. One-night stays are rarely offered on Saturdays, so for a weekend choose two nights or more.
Intimate elopements are welcome too. Contact us with your date and what you have in mind and we will help you plan it.
