The clean, contemporary architecture of the Gatehouse contrasts nicely with the owners' Palladian villa with the pair set in a lovely semi-formal garden with views out over the Yarra Valley to the mountains beyond. Each suite has its own carport, private entrance and patio with a stunning garden view. Inside there is everything for your comfort and enjoyment with an open plan, fully equipped kitchen, dining and lounge room and a separate bedroom with a queen bed. The marble bathroom has a full-sized shower, heated towel rails, and a double spa overlooking a charming and secluded fernery or Japanese-inspired garden. Your pleasure is further enhanced by the fluffy bathrobes, Gilchrist and Soames toiletries, complimentary slippers, complimentary wi-fi, Kennedy and Wilson chocolates and a selection of the latest magazines. You can also have an in-suite massage. Soooo relaxing you'll never want to leave.

The host John was very warm and friendly on arrival. Check in was a breeze as was organising breakfast materials prior to our turning up. The property itself is absolutely gorgeous, with all the amenities you need to enjoy a comfortable stay. Genuinely felt like a home from home. The grounds around the property are also lovely, perfect for a quick morning walk post breakfast. Would highly recommend and definitely will come back in future. 😊

About the host
Hosted by John Annison
We built the Villa and Gatehouse at the same time. The Gatehouse is purpose-built to provide two, self-contained suites for the comfort and enjoyment of guests.
Why they chose this property
We like being as close to the city as possible while still being in the country. With the centre of the city 45 minutes away and the beautiful Yarra Valley views from our property we think we succeeded in having the best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
The Yarra Valley is a lovely place to live and there's always something interesting happening as well as great restaurants, wines and wineries and a good array of interesting shops to explore.
