Cradled amongst the gently sloping, vineyard-covered hillsides of the Yarra Valley in Victoria, Araluen Lodge provides a tranquil countryside sanctuary to explore some of Australia’s most acclaimed wineries from. Surrounded by bucolic scenery, days here revolve around relaxing beside the solar-heated outdoor pool, spending an evening beneath star-speckled skies and visiting the world-class wineries and gourmet farm-to-fork restaurants that lie scattered throughout the valley. Thoughtfully designed suites evoke country-style charm, while the central Lodge features communal spaces including a cosy lounge with a fireplace plus a sunroom and dining area.
