Features luxury accommodation tucked away in the picturesque Buckland Valley close to Bright, Mt. Hotham and Mt. Buffalo. The 4 studios are each a contemporary retreat designed just for two. A romantic escape for a honeymoon, anniversary, special occasion or just a weekend (or week) away from it all, they are set well apart from each other to ensure complete privacy. Each has an open living area with stylish cord and leather furniture and bedrooms featuring custom build king size Queensland walnut timber beds. Funky bathrooms with double rain water showers and full glass walls allow private bush views..... just watch the peeping wombats.

Apart from the focus on luxury and creature comforts, the design of the buildings is energy efficient and eco-friendly. Using green energy, grey water recycling, heat exchange pumps for hot water, double glazing and total wrap-around insulation, the retreats are environmentally sustainable without making concessions to the comfort of their guests.

The studios present the ultimate in self-contained luxury accommodation - goose down doonas, espresso coffee machine, seductive mood lighting, plush robes and relaxing L?Occitane aromatherapy hair and body products - this is the Art of Indulgence!

Each studio has two private decks with an electric BBQ and a well equipped kitchen.

Set amid 40 acres of rolling countryside, adjoining lush bush land, the studios offer amazing views over the surrounding vineyards & chestnut groves to Mt Buffalo. This tranquil setting is only 10 minutes drive to Bright.

These 4 retreats are only the start to a whole ?luxury accommodation, good food, feel good - concept?: The Buckland- Café on the premises offers a sumptuous modern Australian breakfast buffet and a-la-carte gourmet breakfast.

Local activities and attractions include cool-climate wineries, hiking and abseiling on Mt. Buffalo or exploring the extensive network of alpine 4WD tracks, golf, fishing and horse riding. For some excitement try a tandem microlight flight or paragliding experience or a totally adrenalin inducing helicopter flight over the dramatic cliffs of Mt. Buffalo.

Guests of The Buckland are able to enjoy a delicious five-course degustation dinner at nearby Villa Gusto?s acclaimed restaurant (has been awarded with one ?Chef?s Hat? in The Age Good Food Guide 2007). Bright has many more fine eateries, including Simone?s of Bright (awarded with two Chef?s Hats), renowned as one of country Victoria?s best restaurants. The Range restaurant in Myrtleford (about 30km away) has also recently been awarded a Chef?s Hat in the Good Food Guide. The Buckland is the perfect base for a gourmet break in the Victorian High Country

Alternatively, guests can stay put at their luxurious country retreat, cook up a storm on the BBQ and enjoy the piece and quiet.
