About this property
Merinda - Paul Bangay Design Garden Luxury Retreat
Nestled in Mount Franklin, Merinda epitomizes modern country living with its stylish design by Pleysier and Perkins Architects. The journey begins with a very beautiful long windy front drive, setting the tone for the tranquil retreat that awaits. Set on 28 acres, it offers panoramic views of Mount Franklin and the surrounding bushland, providing a serene escape where guests can reconnect with nature. The property hosts many Kangaroos and Kookaburras, adding to the charm of the natural surroundings.
Inside, the Belle Bright interiors strike a perfect balance between elegance and relaxation, with moody tones creating a welcoming atmosphere. The property's thoughtful layout allows for effortless entertaining, whether it's a catered dinner party in the outdoor area or a cozy night in by the Morsco Danish wood-fire. With ducted heating and air conditioning throughout, guests can stay comfortable year-round.
The bedrooms, featuring luxurious king-sized beds, provide a peaceful sanctuary for rest and rejuvenation. Meanwhile, the light-filled living and dining area offer year-round comfort, with gas central heating keeping guests warm in winter and sliding doors opening onto an expansive entertaining deck in spring and summer. Outside, guests can admire the Paul Bangay designed garden and enjoy the spacious terrace, perfect for soaking in the scenic views.
Merinda is more than just a retreat—it's a place to unwind and recharge, surrounded by the beauty of nature. The outdoor amenities include a 6-burner barbecue with rotisserie, ideal for alfresco dining, and a fire pit for cozy evenings under the stars. Miele appliances in the laundry, ensure convenience during longer stays.
With Daylesford just 10 minutes away, guests can easily explore the town's charm while enjoying the tranquility of their countryside escape.
Payment: Credit Card surcharge applies if paying by credit card. Please contact us for current rates.
Please note: The King bed in Bedroom 3be split into 2 x Singles if needed. We will contact you when your booking is received to confirm your preferred bedding configuration.
