And honestly, it only gets better from there.

Set deep within rolling rows of grapes, this stay is designed for switching off in style. Your accommodation may technically be a hut, but calling it that feels wildly understated. This is slow luxury done right. Think heated polished concrete floors warming your toes on chilly Yarra mornings, a soaring vaulted ceiling with original timber beams overhead, and soft lime-washed walls that glow as the light shifts throughout the day. Floor-to-ceiling windows pull the outside in, framing uninterrupted views of the vineyard so you never forget where you are.

Inside, every detail has been thoughtfully curated. A plush bed positioned for vineyard gazing, an intimate sitting area that begs for long conversations, and just enough space to feel cocooned without ever feeling cramped. It’s the kind of place where time stretches. Where mornings blur into afternoons, and the only thing on the agenda is your next glass.

Speaking of, a curated selection of Solitude Estate wines is available to purchase onsite, meaning you can sample the goods without leaving your patch of paradise.

Pair your pour with a simple, beautiful meal whipped up on the retro Gaggenau stovetop, then take things outside as the sun dips low. The firepit becomes the heart of the evening as the sky turns pink and the vineyard cools for the night.

When it’s time to wind down, cue your favourite playlist on the Klipsch The Three heritage speaker. No TVs. No distractions. Just music, wine, and that slightly unsettling feeling of being completely unbothered.

This is the kind of stay made for anniversaries, surprise getaways, or those weekends where you just need to hit reset with someone you love.

Close enough to Melbourne for a spontaneous escape, yet far enough away to feel like a world of its own, Solitude Estate delivers a luxe Yarra Valley experience without the crowds, the schedules, or the noise.
