Stay

Luxury retreat accommodation in Daylesford

Earthy, eclectic accommodation with artistic features throughout — an award-winning rammed earth house on 80 hectares of Hepburn Regional Park, ten minutes from Daylesford and ninety from Melbourne. Always the whole property, always only yours.

Your private sanctuary

Arinya Retreat sits at 65 Scheggias Track, down an unsealed track inside the regional park, positioned to take in the serene northern views. Transverse rammed earth walls divide the house, giving thermal mass, acoustic privacy and a seamless connection between the building and the bush around it. Passive solar heating, water harvesting and natural finishes keep the house comfortable in every season.

The house welcomes up to ten adults and is only ever booked for exclusive use — whether that is two of you or all ten. It suits couples, families of adults, friends' weekends and corporate retreats alike, with an on-site property manager available during the day and for emergencies after hours.

Four beautifully appointed bedrooms

Two king bedrooms

Two spacious master bedrooms with king-size beds, premium linen and direct views over the landscape.

Queen room with king single

A versatile third bedroom with a queen bed and an additional king single — ideal for mixed groups.

Twin room with trundle

The fourth bedroom has twin beds and a trundle for an extra guest who wants their own space.

Your gateway to Hepburn Regional Park

Walking trails lead straight from the door into 80 hectares of native bushland, and there is a mineral spring area on the property itself. Daylesford and Hepburn Springs — spa country, with the region's famous mineral springs, bathhouse, Sunday markets, galleries and producers — are ten minutes down the track.

Add in-house massage and natural therapies, private farm-to-table dining or one of our all-inclusive packages to make it a complete retreat.
