About this property

Dovetail Retreat, a 1911 sandstone, converted church is nestled amidst park like gardens. It offers visitors warm, inviting interiors with a palpable sense of history. The relaxing palette of neutral tones mixed with the warmth of timber, craftsman cedar ceilings and sandstone walls serve as the perfect backdrop for vintage furniture and art. Dovetail Retreat is most ideal for group bookings or multiple families. The 7 bedroom, (1 king bed, 5 queen beds, 2 single beds, 3 living, 3 bathroom home is the perfect place to bunker down, relax and reset. Dovetail Retreat has a shower/toilet chair available if extra support is needed for use in the downstairs bathing space. If cooking is your passion, Dovetail Retreat features a fully equipped kitchen. The stunning dining space with feature stain glass window allows guests the opportunity for long meals with loved ones. Maybe you'd like to pick up a book in the library or attend to some work emails in the study. It might be tempting to stay indoors but we encourage you to explore the outdoors...sit in the garden and listen to bird song, soak in the hot tub, shower by the pool, cook a simple meal using the outdoor kitchen/wood fired pizza oven or light the firepit for a night under the stars. Maybe you'd like to walk along the banks of the Merri River approximatley 300m away, enjoy a game of tennis or set the children free in a natural play space. Warrnambool is 10 minutes away, Port Fairy 20 minutes and Portland 1 hour. There's bustling cafes, surf beaches, shopping, art galleries, horse races, speedway or the Great Ocean Road on your doorstep. Your reset awaits at Dovetail Retreat.
