Modernist vineyard lodge
A working winery along the Goulburn River pairs low-slung modernist brickwork with subterranean art halls and riverside stillness.
“the low-slung architecture is an understated addition to the property’s distinct Robyn Boyd-designed buildings… including the iconic 55-metre viewing tower.”

What they say
Michelin Selected

Also in Wallpaper*.
Australian design duo Hecker Guthrie imagined the hotel’s graphic blocky structure as a modern ode to nature, with rooms dressed in elegant shades of grey, tactile materials and timber accents
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
On a 280-hectare vineyard estate beside the Goulburn River in the Nagambie Lakes wine district.
The rooms
Private balconies look out across the water or estate vines. Floor-to-ceiling glass lights an interior of warm timber and linen.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 20-metre solar-heated lap pool stretches along the riverbank, lined with timber loungers and native grasses.
The spa
Massages and body scrubs use Australian botanical house Uspa, with herbal tea poured in a sunlit lounge.
The Muse Restaurant
Dishes from the wood-fired grill are served beside a painted brick fireplace, with tall windows looking across the grounds.
At the table
The cellar door pours estate-grown Shiraz and Riesling across a dark timber counter beneath illuminated shelves.
How it began

Explorer Thomas Mitchell crossed the river here in 1836, lending his name to the estate when vines were planted in 1969.
