The Rooms

Each of the bedrooms is meticulously curated to capture the beauty of the Yarra Valley and surrounds:

 

1. Clouds Over the Valley

On my several visits to the Yarra Valley, I’ve noticed that the clouds here look somehow denser and more imposing as they tower over hills and pastures. This is what the master bedroom is curated about: light, airy and soft. It's inspired by the clouds incorporating boucle textures, curves and fluffs. The farmhouse appeal is introduced by the sleek white barn door (opening to your own ensuite bathroom with double shower) and rustic white washed furniture.

 

With its own dresser table, full body mirror, bath robes, floral artwork, this room has been designed for wedding couples.

 

2. Autumn

In the Yarra Valley, Autumn is both gloomy and mesmerising. It's when the vineyards turn amber gold which contrasts nicely against the dark skies. This room is curated to capture these qualities: gloomy but uplifting; sharp but gentle.

 

3. Rolling Hills

Taking inspiration from the sweeping views of overlapping hills and greenery in the Yarra Valley, the Rolling Hills bedroom encapsulates the beautiful environment we all love in the region. When you think of Yarra Valley, other than the world class wine, it's the beautiful aspect of calming greenery that really captures you on your drive.

 

4. Memories of Yarra

If you have been to the Yarra Valley as a kid, you probably have fond memories of koalas at the Healesville Sanctuary, the joys of seeing hot air balloons, and playing in the playground set against the backdrop of sweeping vineyards whilst your parents enjoy their good food and wine. The Memories of Yarra Room will bring you back to those moments. Small but cosy, this is ideal for kids (can sleep adults too) with plenty of entertainment for them in the fun box.

 

5. Warburton

The Warburton Redwood Forest is mysterious and tranquil. It is painted in this room by using rust and olive colours, woody accents and forest "mushroom" lamps. I also find that the muddy Yarra River (embodied in the bow duo Yarra River textured artwork ) is weirdly more picturesque from near the Warburton town centre, as it's engulfed with aged fern trees and other greenery.

 

6. The Farmhouse

Yarra Valley offers a wide range of fantastic produce coming out of large farms, and this room is a tribute to that. Rustic yet sleek, this charming bungalow room gives you that Australian country vibe through messmate furnishings, farmhouse accents, high pine ceilings and vintage artwork. With its own living space equipped with Smart TV and a double sofa bed, next to the games room, spa and sauna, this room is made for entertainment.
