The Hotel

Set amongst the undulating green landscape that is the Yarra Valley, Balgownie Estate Vineyard is a peaceful escape in the heart of wine country where fast paced city folk go to take their foot off the everyday accelerator. Getaway Groupies enjoy easy-going yet superior living in 4.5-star accommodation and take solace in rooms elegantly appointed with luxury furnishings and mod cons. Both swish spa suites offer retreaters WiFi and cable TV conveniences, as well as in-room Jacuzzi tub indulgences for a supremely comfortable and serene stay.



From the private balcony retreaters drink in the picturesque views of the Yarra Valley, hen head into the thick of it for a complimentary wine tasting at the Cellar Door. Daily breakfast fuels bodies for a big day ahead, before big city breakers get on with the task of exploring the surrounding wineries or making the most of the indoor heated pool, gym and steam room facilities. Upon pulling up to the gorgeous grounds, overnight guests receive a glass of wine on arrival while those staying for two are instead treated to a romantic two-course meal at the stylish yet relaxed onsite restaurant.

 

Groupon Recommends

Groupies take a break from their long-term relationship with computer screens and reward eyes by spending easy-going days endlessly gazing at the breathtaking bush scenery.Vino lovers wine hop between cellar doors and sample the best the reds and whites Yarra Valley has to offer, either driving themselves or jumping aboard one of the many organised wine tours available. Foodies please their palates sampling local produce at the numerous fine dining restaurants and charming cafes; but fresh fruit lovers are especially in for a treat with orchards, farm gates and roadside stalls speckled throughout the region.

Take a break from wining and dining with a visit to the Healesville Sanctuary, world-renowned for being the best place to see Australian wildlife in their natural habitat. Or travel from Healesville bypass through Black Spur, an area noted for its spectacular tall trees and dense forests.

Groupies looking to experience nature at its best take a trip to the forests of the Dandenong Ranges and wander through ferny mountains and lush gullies to enchanting natural wonders like Sherbrooke Forest, Doongalla Homestead and One Tree Hill or the peak of Mount Dandenong for panaromic city views. Groupies wanting to get to know the area more intimately criss-cross from town to town and soak up the local life visiting the markets, galleries and attractions hosted throughout.

Reviews

The estate was extremely well located in the middle of Yarra, with lots of wineries close by. We were also close to Healesville, and enjoyed a gorgeous dinner at Innocent Bystander one evening, and at the estate restaurant the other evening. The breakfast at Balgownie is great.

Balgownie Estate Vineyard Resort and Spa is just outside the township of Yarra Glen and has a wonderful aspect and outlook, overlooking much of the Valley. The resort is stylish and thoughtfully designed, both for its environmental impact and the visitor's comfort and amenity
