About this property

Sky High: stunning, iconic, dramatic

There are homes that are simply places to stay. Others, like Sky High, leave an imprint on your spirit and awaken something deep within. Perched atop a ridge facing the majestic Mt Franklin, just outside Daylesford, this iconic architectural retreat offers sweeping views of rolling hills and farmland—a setting that feels both timeless and transcendent.

Sky High is more than a destination—it’s an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect. Whether you're gathering with loved ones for laughter-filled evenings or seeking solitude to reflect and recharge, this space adapts to your rhythm. With 360-degree panoramic views, it’s perfect for hosting yoga, meditation, or wellness retreats that open up new horizons—both literally and figuratively. Sky High is a sanctuary for wellness and connection.

The journey begins at a central courtyard—a welcoming hub from which the rest of the home unfolds. Sky High features four spacious king-size bedrooms with split beds, thoughtfully designed to suit couples, families, or groups of friends.
You may find yourself not wanting to leave—and that’s perfectly okay. Spend your days walking to Mt Franklin, then return for a dip in the heated saltwater plunge pool, or simply settle in with a glass of wine by the fireplace, cook up a feast in the stunning kitchen.

Once your reservation is confirmed, our Customer Experience Team will reach out by phone and email to ensure every detail is taken care of. You’ll receive a secure online form to provide ID and card details. If you're planning to host guests, please note the maximum number allowed is 8.
For your safety and peace of mind, outdoor security cameras are in place. Sky High maintains a strict no-party policy to preserve the serenity of this special retreat. We’re confident you’ll fall in love with Sky High.

Come for the views. Stay for the feeling.

Loved it!

Gorgeous house. Very windy! Excellent communication with managers. Some household basics in short supply -eg dishwashing tablets, dishwashing liquid, rubber gloves, glad wrap, water glasses.NB- Nespresso coffee pods are needed for the coffee machine. Would definitely return!
