Garden surrounds

A harmonious natural forest setting sets the mood for the Monreale experience. A special haven with cascading waterfalls, ponds filled with rainbow trout, creeks, bridges, tree fern grottos, all create a natural screen effect that ensures guests enjoy their privacy while being able to enjoy the natural environment at their door. As the sun sets you begin to hear a chorus of bird calls.

Style of Cottages

Each of our four architecturally designed cottages and two retreats are self catering, spacious and have large floor to ceiling windows that showcase the surrounding gardens and rainforest.
Cheryl's interior design reflects a stylish country theme décor.

Ambiance

Relax in a luxury spa bath filled with warm spring water from Monreale's natural spring.
Feel the rich fluffy bath robes, luxuriant thick towels, comfortable slippers, glowing warmth of the fire crackling in the background, cosy sofa to snuggle up on, the king bed with crisp damask linen or enjoy the balcony view with a glass of quality wine produced in our neighboring premier wine region "The Yarra Valley".
