Accommodation in Beechworth | 7 Stunning Suggestions (2022)

by Dylan Wells July 26, 2022
written by Dylan Wells

Beechworth is Australia’s finest historic gold mining town and one of the country’s most celebrated food and wine regions. 

Featuring incredible historical landmarks, — including the Court House where Ned Kelly stood trial — stunning natural landscapes, boutique shops, the famous Rail Trail, heritage architecture, and award-winning wineries, Beechworth has something for every palette. 

As for where to stay, there’s a surplus accommodation options in the quaint town. 


Accommodation in Beechworth 

The accommodation in Beechworth promises to deliver memorable and cozy experiences. 

These often historic and carefully restored buildings are all a short distance from the central historic precinct, where you can explore galleries, pubs, cafes, and restaurants. 

Looking to sink your teeth into the natural beauty of the region? These establishments are also situated near Beechworth Gorge, Woolshed Falls, the Rail Trail, and renowned family-owned vineyards.

Let’s get into our top accommodation picks. 


Luxury Accommodation in Beechworth

If you’re planning a cozy romantic weekend, Beechworth is a must-visit. 

Whether you’re keen to indulge in some downtime at a luxury spa villa or soak up some historical opulence together at a Victorian-era B&B, there’s something to suit every couple.  

StoneTryst Spa Villas 

Beechworth Luxury Winery Accommodation

Sitting on five acres, the three StoneTryst Spa Villas were specifically designed for a couples getaway. 

Settle in and enjoy a romantic and private escape, away from the bustle of the city. The quiet and peaceful natural landscape is sure to have a restorative effect. 

The relaxing, secluded villas overlook the tranquil newly-planted vineyard and spectacular Beechworth Gorge. 

The architecture is both contemporary and comfortable, but also expertly complements the natural surroundings. The villas feature granite walls salvaged from the historic property and beautiful timber flooring. 

Choose from three luxurious villas; the Villa Mica, the Villa Tor, and the Villa Granito. 

Read more… ⬇️

The Villa Mica is the perfect home-away-from-home, just for the two of you. Indulge in a glass of wine and nibbles, gazing at the sunset from your elevated deck that looks over the hills and vineyard. Then, unwind in the double spa bath while looking out the picture window at stunning moonlit views. As night falls, curl up on the leather couch together next to the crackling gas log fire.  

Featuring the same inclusions as the Villa Mica, the Villa Tor invites you to kick back and relax together. Wake up to views of the vineyard, Gorge, and Beechworth town. Enjoy lazy afternoons snuggled up on a plush armchair with a good book, and enjoy a glass of wine on the balcony at sunset. 

For the most luxurious experience, splurge on the Villa Granito. In addition to the divine amenities featured in the other two villas, the Villa Granito also includes a solar-heated private plunge pool and sun-lounge deck in your very own private garden. 

Each villa also houses a self-contained kitchen, so you can comfortably cook up a storm if you’re in the mood for a night in. 

Note: Minimum two-night stay

Luxury Accommodation in Beechworth

Looking to dive headfirst into a truly unique experience together?

The Freeman on Ford was first built in 1876 where it once stood as the Oriental Bank, which was the preferred bank for Beechworth’s Chinese gold-mining population. So, the building is a historical landmark in itself! 

The building now stands as a luxury bed & breakfast, located in the heart of the Beechworth precinct. 

Its central location makes it perfect for couples looking to really explore the town, which is home to some of Australia’s most iconic gold-rush streets. 

Take a ride down the street in a horse-drawn carriage and visit the quaint boutiques, intimate cafes, and renowned restaurants the town has to offer. 

The Freeman on Ford has been beautifully restored so that you can enjoy the Victorian Italianate architecture in all its glory. 

Read more… ⬇️

There are four guest rooms in the original bank building, each featuring a stunning ensuite. There are an additional two 1930s-style suites fitted with marble bathrooms.

The decor is truly a marvel — the pure crystal chandeliers and Victorian-era colour schemes add to the lavish, old-worldly feel. 

Start the day with a full hot breakfast made from the very best local produce. Spend the day strolling the town before heading back for a delicious afternoon tea, after which you can explore the chandelier-lit foyer, sun-filled dayroom, reading and drawing rooms, and elegant dining room. 

Fancy a dip? The grounds include a 12m private pool and heated spa, located in the gardens. 

This opulent accommodation is sure to deliver a special and memorable experience. Don’t believe us? The award speaks for itself; the Freeman on Ford took out 4th place (of 25 properties) for Best B&B in Australia in Trip Advisor’s 2022 Traveller’s Choice Awards.

Beechworth Accommodation for Big Groups

When it comes to group trips, there are two very important things to consider: will there be enough space, and will there be enough activities?

Fortunately, Beechworth has you sorted on both fronts. 

When it comes to what to do, the historical town, local wineries, and natural landscapes will keep you entertained all weekend long. There are town landmarks for the history lover, quaint restaurants and wineries for the foodie, boutique stores for the shopaholic, and the Rail Trail for the fitness junkie. 

As for accommodation, these are our recommendations for a comfy and luxurious group stay. 

Belmont at Beechworth

First built in 1895, the very bones of the Belmont at Beechworth are a part of Beechworth’s gold rush and bushranger history. 

To enter Belmont, walk over the century-old worn flagstone step, before entering the newly renovated, private lodgings.

Secluded in a tree-lined avenue, Belmont is walking distance from Beechworth village and the iconic Murray to Mountains Rail Trail. It’s designed to be enjoyed by groups of up to four, featuring two bedrooms and private bathrooms complete with open fireplaces (now that makes for a cozy bath!). 

Read more… ⬇️

The interiors are something to behold. The Belmont features suspended downlights, glass floating shelves, cast-iron baths, double glass showers, a self-contained kitchen, Italian granite floor tiles, an antique dining table, and vintage leather couches. 

Enjoy your afternoon glass of wine on the suspended balcony before heading out for a group stroll around the secluded gardens. 


Belmont is designed to be a truly luxurious group experience, offering a transfer service, complimentary bikes for cycling along the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail, a fully-equipped BBQ area, and complimentary kitchen supplies.

Pet-Friendly Accommodation in Beechworth

Getaways are made so much better when your four-legged friend can come along for the ride. 

The Woolshed Cabins in Beechworth is your go-to when it comes to pooch-friendly Beechworth accommodation. 

Woolshed Cabins Beechworth

The Woolshed Cabins sit on 12 acres of secluded bushland on the outskirts of Beechworth, a short walking distance to Woolshed Falls. It’s a pet-friendly set-up, with vast stretches of bushland for your four-legged friend to explore. 

The property features four separate two-bedroom cabins, with some cabins sleeping up to four people.

The hosts recommend taking a morning stroll down the dog-friendly gorge trail into town, before settling in to enjoy the breathtaking sunsets over the Woolshed Valley. 

For families, there’s a lot to explore in the natural Woolshed playground. There’s also a BBQ, so you have the option to cook if you’re wanting a night in. 

There are large fenced verandahs on each cabin, so your pooch will be safe outdoors, but they can be kept inside at night if you prefer. 

Pets stay for free, too, so no need to dip into their savings! 

Note: One dog per cabin, no pets in Woolshed one.

Indigo Farmstay 

Indigo Vineyard is nestled in the foothills of the Victorian Alps. 

The winery is famous for its outstanding Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir varieties, as well as its breathtaking views and delicious local produce. It’s no wonder Indigo Vineyard was voted ‘Beechworth’s Best Cellar Door with Food’ by Gourmet Traveller WINE!

The Old Chaff Mill

A phoenix reborn, destroyed by fire a century ago, renovated with a modern and simplistic design in exquisite detail. From the finest linens and bathrobes to a welcome basket of fresh local produce — immersive history, stunning gardens — everything is just perfect!

This luxury accommodation in Mclaren Vale has two offerings; The Millery and The Granary.

The Millery

From its historical structure and purpose as a Chaff Mill, the ceiling is naturally high, adding to the grand design internally, the Millery is split into two levels. On the ground floor, you have simplicity and comfort coming together; the woodfire heater, optional queen sofa bed for extras, and a great collection of records for your enjoyment. The mezzanine features a king-size bed and a private lounge area. 

The Granary

The Granary offers a similar aesthetic and decadence as the Millery. One clear perk that makes us favour the Granary is the spa-style bath that offers sweeping views of the country gardens and surroundings. Equipped with a king-size bed with the option to split into two king singles. There is no option for guest sleeping amenities, so if there are more than three, we’d recommend going with the Millery.

King Valley Winery Accommodation: Live it up at a vineyard!

by Dylan Wells January 17, 2022
written by Dylan Wells

Whether you’re coming to King Valley from the north or south, this wine region offers some of that area’s best wine, food and accommodation. Indulge your senses while relaxing in luxury at the foot of Australia’s incredible Alpine region. Take in panoramic views, stroll the vineyards, visit the cellar doors and learn the history of Victoria’s famed King Valley.

But for now, relax and take a moment for your second while we take you through the most stellar King Valley winery accommodation.


The King Valley Wine Region

Only three hours north of Melbourne – a few hours more if you’re coming from Sydney or Canberra – the King Valley area is host to an impressive set of distinct attractions. The region’s strong Italian influence stems from the tobacco farmers who chose the district in the early twentieth century for their crops before moving on to – you guessed it – wine! Accommodation in the area still boasts this history with luxury and boutique hotels that are among the best in Victoria.

Take a leisurely drive down ‘Prosecco Road’, which extends from the King Valley township towards Wangaratta and sample the sparkling wine the region is best known for. Drop in at the esteemed Brown Brothers cellar door and hear how they’ve been making wine for four generations over the last 130 years. But don’t forget to book a place to stay – you’ll want the best King Valley winery accommodation to make for the best experience.


King Valley Winery Accommodation

Here are three of the best hotels providing luxury accommodation in the King Valley wine region. They combine comfort with outdoor delights: rooms that open onto views of vineyards, and local wines and produce that it will take no effort to reach. Time to explore. . .

Mt. Bellevue, Myrrhee

Images Sourced from https://www.facebook.com/mtbellevue

For accommodation with the best views in and of King Valley’s wine region, you have to check out Mt. Bellevue. Their three-bedroom Alpine Cottage is attached to a working vineyard where you can relax and literally watch the grapes grow.

They offer standalone, self-catered accommodation with total privacy with up to six guests. Check in and have the whole farm and vineyard to yourself with incredible views over Myrrhee, King Valley and up to the Victorian high country.

You’ll receive a bountiful hamper on arrival and detailed information on things to see and do while in the King Valley. The Mt. Bellevue cottage is close to all the highlights of the region. Stay in and relax by the wood fire or enjoy the views from the outdoor entertaining area for al fresco dining. 

Every season offers something different but right now is the best time to book your winery accommodation stay at Mt Bellevue.

Casa Luna Gourmet Accommodation, Myrrhee

Casa Luna is unique among King Valley winery experiences. Not only do they offer alfresco dining packages, but they take the flavours of the region, with Italian-inspired, locally sourced ingredients for dishes that perfectly match the Italian wine varieties grown in the area. 

Their ‘Dinner with Bed and Breakfast’ comes with a three-course menu matched to local wines, with a cooked to order breakfast in the morning 

But our pick has to be the ‘Petanque, Assegni and Asti’ package.

The first night’s dinner is fresh pasta and a select group of Reds, followed by cards and more wine in the glass-walled lounge. In the morning enjoy breakfast followed by a vineyard walk and tasting experience. After a little free time, you’re taken to learn Petanque on your very own court –  silver ball in one hand, glass of Asti or Prosecco in the other. Then enjoy an Italian banquet dinner served family Style with matched wines and, on the final morning, an Italian-inspired breakfast. 

All meals are taken care of by co-owner Gwenda Canty. Book one of their packages directly and get a Prosecco Spritz on arrival and the best rate guaranteed.

The Lancemore, Milawa 

Images Sourced from https://www.facebook.com/Lindenwarrah

The Lancemore Milawa offers some of the most incredible hotel packages in the King Valley.  The Lancemore group are famed for their luxury hotels and have won numerous awards. They are almost unmatched for accommodation experiences – they know exactly what they’re doing and how to make your stay memorable.

For luxury King Valley winery accommodation, they have you covered: watch the sun dip over the Brown Brothers’ vineyard from the Sunset Room. Take in the surrounding mountains from the Buffalo View Room. Let the smell of flowers and clean country air flow into your Garden View Room. Or go all out and book the Spa Suite, with its own view of the countryside, enjoy some bubbles – both in the spa and from the sparkling! – and settle down by the cosy woodfire.

It is, as they say, a “tranquil country house hotel brimming with elegance and style”, with Luxury Travel Magazine rating it one of the Best Regional Hotels. With a restaurant serving gastronomic delights on the terrace dining, a comfy and bright guest lounge, and a striking swimming pool – what more could you ask for? Another glass? Mmmm, why not. . .

Lusso KV, Whitfield

Lusso is the Italian word for luxury – so how could we not include it on this list of boutique winery accommodation? Nestled in the King Valley township of Whitfield, this building is newly designed and built, so make sure you get in soon to be one of the first to enjoy it!

Features include a two-story loft-style building with bedrooms above, kitchen and lounge below. The sleek interiors fit perfectly with the central rustic recycled red brick fireplace. Built to resemble the kind of tobacco kiln this region was famous for, it sleeps up to eight guests, with 3 King bedrooms, with Master ensuite and one other large bathroom. The space is open to natural light and views of the vineyards beyond.

Make Lusso KV the base for your King Valley cellar door excursions, with Dal Zotto and Pizzini only a short drive to the south, and Gracebrook and King River estate very close to the north.

Glenmore Springs, Cheshunt

Glenmore Springs on Upper Valley King Road offers a combination of the rustic side of the area, with all the trappings of a luxury winery accommodation stay. They have large spaces, perfectly suited to cater for large family or corporate events in their communal settings, or they can set you up for an intimate little getaway.

The King Valley Kiln is our pick for that intimate farmstay. The rooms have been converted from an original tobacco kiln and using selected, 100-year-old timber, it gives a feeling of having travelled back in time. With epic views of the surrounding ranges and the farmland below, outdoor barbeque and entertaining area.

Glenmore Springs looks incredible in the Autumn months but can always be enjoyed the whole year round. There are few places that can offer winery accommodation that is little slice of Tuscany below the Australian Alps, but this spot is definitely one.

Coonawarra Winery Accommodation – Luxury to Affordable

by Dylan Wells November 7, 2021
written by Dylan Wells

Coonawarra is not only the best-named out of 60 + wine regions in Australia (declared by us), it also lives up to its reputation for being king of cabernet. But we’d say quality wine is just 50 % of visiting a region, especially if you’re staying overnight. To avoid booking some old crack den, we’re going to give you a couple of trustworthy options for luxury accommodation in Coonawarra, some affordable options, plus some Coonawarra winery accommodation. There’s nothing like finding your own little Shangrila nestled in a quiet field of vines in walking distance from a myriad of world-class wineries and restaurants.

Coonawarra Wineries and Wine Region

Just in case you’ve come to this page completely unknowing of the amplitude of purity and quality that this stellar region continues to deliver, we’ll give a brief fundamental info package on what you can expect.

The Coonawarra Wine Region is one of several that encapsulate the entirety of the Limestone Coast Wine Zone. As the name suggests, the rock formations are limestone which contributes to the prosperous yield around town, and here’s why… Limestone has incredible water retention so, in the drier months of the season, there’s ample H2O in reserve to keep the plump grapes… moist (sorry if that word triggers you).

As for the wineries, the first thing you can do to get an in-depth account of the overall experience is head to our ‘Top Coonawarra Wineries’ article. But to sum it up, there are some iconic vineyards to visit and to be completely transparent, there are more than you could handle in one day, which is why we decided that staying there is the only option for those that want to experience the real Coonawarra – we’re obviously going to touch-up on that subject further down the page so read on. 



  The Coonawarra Wine Trail 

The Coonawarra wine trail is an ingenious medium of solving the ongoing conundrum of “who’s driving?”

There are five wineries within walking distance of each other, creating the absolute pinnacle quest of a wine holiday ready for any grape enthusiasts visiting the region. It’s like if Sam and Frodo were on an adventure to find the best cabernet instead of destroying the ring of power.

The five wineries that consist said mentioned adventure are;

  • Brands Laira
  • DiGiorgio Family Wines
  • Drink Otellia
  • Redmans Wines
  • Wynns Coonawarra Estate
  • Zema Estate


Guaranteed to have a good time, promise. All establishments prioritise quality in experience through tasting flights, menus, service and of course, fantastic vino. 


Coonawarra Winery Accommodation

Okay, enough fluff, whether you know the region or not, you need to know where to stay. We can’t have any Wine Regions’ readers staying at an absolute dive of a motel. As we mentioned before, quality wine is just 50 % of enjoyment. The other 50 % goes to experience; through accommodation, food, service and other activities that the region has to offer.

So let’s get into our pick of the best Coonawarra Winery Accommodation!

The Glamping Bell Tents

Images Sourced from https://www.facebook.com/Bellwetherwines

Glamping tents in vineyards are like, so in at the moment. But to be honest it’s not just for the influencer selfie that comes with every visit to a winery luxury teepee, it’s the zen associated with staying a couple of days. It’s impossible to describe what it’s like getting back to the basics, so no internet, no “oh my gosh look at who’s dating who”, no more “look what Dave cooked for breakfast”, just you, a wine list of some of the best wines in the country, and complete serenity. Coonawarra is Daryll Kerigan’s Bonnie Doon.

The Glamping Bell Tents are 5 or so minutes from Bellweather Wines but still the equivalent of smack bang in the middle of wine country.

Included in the package;

  • Private Fire Place.
  • King bed and 2 singles – Sleeps 4
  • Outdoor setting for 4 people
  • Full 240v power
  • Lights, electric blankets, kettle, heater
  • Hot water bottles in winter
  • Esky
  • Laundry facilities.
  • Fully equipped camp kitchen
  • All Linen Supplied
  • Outdoor area with BBQ, seating and a glorious view of the virgin bushland and lake
  • Free WiFi and pushbikes
  • Pet friendly
  • Solar-powered and self-sufficient property
  • Hydroponic organic greenhouse
  • Free seasonal vegetables
  • Private Cellar Door – Hundred of Comaum Wines


Surely there is something on that list that gets you going. Get out of the big city for a little while and find some peace at the Bell Tents accommodation in the Coonawarra area.

The Villa and Room with a View completes the High Bank experience matching the decor and decadence of the Cottage.

Mornington Peninsula Accommodation

Mornington Peninsula Accommodation (Top 5)

by Dylan Wells June 29, 2021
written by Dylan Wells

Mornington Peninsula has long been the easy escape from Melbourne. This incredible peninsula has wineries bursting with charm and flavour, some of the finest locally sourced produce in the country, long golden beaches and laid back towns, as well as jaw-dropping coastal walking. When you add these elements together, it is hard to believe you are still sitting reading this instead of getting down there! To help you get moving we have put together some of the finest Mornington Peninsula accommodation in Victoria, so no matter what style you prefer, we have picked something perfect for you.  

Luxury Accommodation Mornington Peninsula

For those of us who like a little extra, we have selected our favourite luxury Mornington Peninsula accommodation to retreat to after days of indulging in the joys of the peninsula.

Lancemore Lindenderry Red Hill

Images sourced from https://www.lancemore.com.au/lindenderry-red-hill/accommodation

Right in the heart of the peninsula sits the truly stunning Lancemore Lindenderry Red Hill. This boutique luxury hotel sits on 34 acres of delightfully sculpted gardens and vines, providing a discreet, relaxing getaway to soak in the wonders of the Mornington Peninsula. 

The rooms are minimalist, contemporary chic, looking out over the expansive grounds and if you want a day of pure relaxation there is enough going on at the Lancemore Lindenderry to ensure you don’t have to travel far.

Their cellar door is exquisite, a true celebration of the cool climate of the peninsula, with Pinot and Chardonnay blowing the doors off, as well as award-winning wines from their Macedon Ranges Vineyard. At the weekend they light the outdoor wood-fired pizza oven and the cellar door experience turns into a joyful, sun-soaked social afternoon. 

For more discerning dining, you can wander into the Dining Room to experience fine examples of paddock to plate cooking in a contemporary European style. Fine dining without formality, the Dining Room is a social joy to indulge in. 

To sample other wineries in the area, you don’t have to wander far. Red Hill is home to Mont Rouge, Polperro and Rahona Valley wineries, three absolute stunners all within staggering or taxi distance.  

Winery Accommodation Mornington Peninsula

There are so many glorious wineries with accommodation in the Mornington Peninsula that narrowing it down to one was tricky, but as much as we love the others, the Crittenden Estate just takes it for us. 

Crittenden Estate

Images sourced from https://www.facebook.com/CrittendenWines/

This stunning Mornington Peninsula accommodation is so incredibly unique and well-designed that we couldn’t shake the feeling of being miles from anywhere, even though we were in the middle of a world-class winery. Each of the little villas on the estate is built over a beautiful, tranquil lake, giving the feeling that you are floating. Contemporary design with a unique Aussie flair makes cozying up in the villas with a bottle of Pinot and a good book a sheer delight. 

The cellar door here is so unique and varied with Crittenden not hiding those experimental grapes away, but thriving on selling and developing them. As well as fine examples of Mornington Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Crittenden have an Italian varietal range and a Spanish Varietal range, meaning that there are a whole lot of wines to be tasted at the estate. Lucky your accommodation is so close at hand!

Add to this the Stillwater, a chef-owned and operated Aussie Tourism gold-certified restaurant. Its rotating menu reflects the best of the seasons and its location with views over the lake is breathtaking. 

Again, you are in a perfect location with Polperro, Myrtaceae and Dromana wineries all within 5km of your beautiful accommodation. 

Best Beachfront accommodation Mornington Peninsula

There are plenty of stretches of unbelievable coast and endless, golden beach on the Mornington Peninsula, but we absolutely love the hidden beauty of Mt Martha. This little hidden corner is where bushland meets the sea, producing some of the most spectacular scenery on the coast. The beaches in Mt Martha have that sleepy, summer vibe and are perfect places to chill. 

Mt Martha B&B By The Sea

Mornington Peninsula Accommodation
Images sourced from https://www.facebook.com/MtMartha-BB-By-The-Sea-394603680929544

Mt Martha B&B By The Sea is a luxurious guesthouse just seconds away from the secluded little Hawker Beach. With only four luxury suites, each individually decorated with high-quality facilities is the perfect base for exploring the Mornington Peninsula. 

A 15-minute walk along the bay brings you to Mt Martha itself where there are choices of dining and entertainment aplenty. We loved Josephine’s Restaurant at the Briars, with its stunning views, well-priced menu and selection of local wines. There are also great Italian and Mexican options to keep you well-fed in this wild-beach paradise. 

With the stunning Crittenden, Dromana and Yabby Lake wineries within 5km of Mt Martha, there is so much opportunity for wine tasting while you enjoy this secluded slice of beach life. 

Mornington Peninsula accommodation Airbnb style

Looking for somewhere to rent out for yourselves in the Mornington Peninsula? We have scoured the self-catering accommodations and Airbnb’s of Mornington to discover the best and we have to confess, it was tough, there are some classics here! 

Cottage in the Olives

However, we have gone for the stunning Cottage in the Olives in Merricks North. Here you are set right in the heart of the peninsula, surrounded by olive groves and only ten minutes from the beach and 15 mins from Red Hill, home of a ton of amazing wineries. 

This Mornington Peninsula accommodation provides a light and spacious interior, tastefully decorated with relaxation in mind. Outside there is a wonderful verandah that overlooks the olive grove. While the cottage is fully kitted out for self-catering, just ten minutes away is the delightful village of Balnarring, which despite its quaint size, is a gastronomic heavyweight. With an outstanding japanese restaurant and a heavenly French restaurant and a big Aussie barn serving the best in local produce, you will be more than happy with your meal out here. 

Situated incredibly close to the outstanding Quealy vineyard whose cellar door is an experience not to be missed and Merrick’s Creek, who make a rosé perfected for those warm Mornington afternoons, your wine experience here will be a joyful one. 

Pet Friendly accommodation Mornington Peninsula

Escaping to somewhere as wild and beautiful as the Mornington Peninsula without pooch on board would be a terrible shame. There are wide spaces for them to run amok, beautiful beaches where they can splash and play and while there are several pet-friendly accommodations in Mornington Peninsula, this is the one we have fallen in love with. 

Sea Brim

Sea Brim is situated in Rye down on the little sweeping end of the peninsula and is one of the wildest and most beautiful corners. With outstanding cliff-top walking and peppered with little hidden coves with sandy beaches, Rye is the perfect spot to take doggo. 

The acccoomodation itsef is flawless, a two storey apartment next to the beach which sits in its own delightful courtyard. This fully fenced courtyard means your doggy pal can run free while you laze or splash around in the pool. 

You are close to the the tiny The Cups Estate, which is a wonderful little winery, and there are a couple of the bigger blockbusters close by too. Stops in at the brand new cellar door experience at Tallarida and the hilltop splendour of Blue Range Estate make for truly delicious visits. 

The Mornington Peninsula is a true delight no matter where you choose to stay. We hope you have enjoyed our take on the best Mornington Peninsula accommodation.

The best thing about Australian cities is how close they are to wide-open spaces. You can find forgotten beaches, go bush, or – our favourite, naturally – hit up a nearby wine region. Melbourne is no exception: the famed Yarra Valley sits right at its edge. Cool climate wines, sweeping views of farmland and the Dandenong Ranges – all that’s missing is you! But you’ll need a place to stay, of course. . .  So, we here at Wine Regions have combed the area, sussing out the best hotels and Yarra Valley accommodation, both on and near the region’s top-notch wineries, and made a list of our favourites. You’re welcome.

Yarra Valley Winery Accommodation

There’s just something about staying on a vineyard that is euphoric and dream like. You also don’t have to walk very far after your second tasting!

Balgownie Estate

Balgownie Estate is one of the premier attractions in the region, offering not only five-star Yarra Valley accommodation but a host of indulgent activities. This resort-style hotel complex offers 70 accommodation suites, including – my pick – the Deluxe Spa Suite. There are conference and function rooms, a restaurant and cellar door, and an on-site day-spa (if you need a bit of a detox the day after. . .). But their most impressive service is the one they operate with the help of Global Ballooning: the hot air balloon ride that rises with the sun at dawn, all followed up with a Champaign Breakfast. I can’t think of a better way to get a true feel for the Yarra Valley region.

Outlook Hill

If you want the feel of a farm-stay on an actual working Yarra Valley winery, Outlook Hill is it. Self-contained spa suites, cottages and single rooms all perched above and overlooking the grapevines themselves. They offer a complimentary continental breakfast and bottle of wine – not necessarily at the same time, but hey, you’re on holiday! – and is situated not far from Tarrawarra township, smack bang between Yarra Glen and Healesville, two major centres that offer even more food and wine options. 

Luxury Accommodation Yarra Valley

If you’re looking for romance, luxury accommodation in the Yarra Valley might be the perfect way to shake things up.

Chateau Yering

Chateau Yering offers marble-accented bathrooms, antique furniture and curtain-folds galore in each room of this sprawling, full 5 star, heritage-listed estate. Leave the 21st Century behind and twist the cap off the day’s cellar door purchase to experience one of the most romantic settings the Yarra Valley offers. Visit Eleonor’s Restaurant for your evening meal (“business or smart casual dress is appropriate”) and the Sweetwater Café for breakfast. They can also cater for your next business retreat, with conference facilities and room enough for the whole office.

Myers Creek Cascades

On the more intimate end of the scale, Myers Creek Cascades offers quiet cottages nestled in a lush, green rainforest setting. One look at the photos of the spa bath view of the ferns and forest gums and we were in! This place is truly unique, standing out as some of the best Yarra Valley accommodation. Choose from one of their ‘Memory Maker’ packages and, if you really must leave, you can explore the range of Healesville attractions nearby. 

Boutique Accommodation, Yarra Valley

Maybe you’re looking for something a little edgie and a tad trendy. Well, there is some fantastic boutique accommodation in Yarra Valley. Here’s what we think… for what it’s worth.

Holly Lane Mews

Holly Lane Mews in Steels Creek is our pick for the Yarra Valley’s best pet-friendly boutique bed and breakfast stay. Boasting an incredible garden and only a quick drive to either of the must-see De Bortoli or Yarrawood wineries, it serves as the perfect base for that weekend getaway you’ve been planning. In addition to housing your favourite furry family member, they also have an outdoor pool and serve a continental breakfast until 10:30 am.

Araluen Boutique Villas and Lodge

Also in Steels Creek is the Araluen Boutique Villas and Lodge. This perfect bush-setting retreat is ready for you to rock up, stretch out and use it as a base to then go and explore the surrounding wineries. We dare you to not relax on a hot day by their outdoor pool or to feel pent up wandering the two hectares of landscaped gardens. It’s impossible – believe us! There are communal areas if you’re keen to mingle with any other guests and a free continental breakfast served each morning in their bright, open dining room.

Wine Tours of the Yarra Valley

There it is: your Yarra Valley accommodation sorted. But say you wanted to visit the Yarra Valley just for the day? Hit up the Australian Wine Tour Company. They are experts in the region’s wine and wineries, and they can pick you up and drop you back into central Melbourne, that is if you do want to go back. . . They offer a number of different Yarra Valley wine tour packages, including one with an overnight stay at the Balgownie Estate, mentioned above. They’re sure to put together a luxury winery tour you won’t quickly forget. Tell them we sent you. Check out our top picks for Wine Tours in the Yarra Valley!
