Welcome to Monreale Estate

Imagine yourself in paradise

The essence of romance at Monreale

Fluffy robes and slippers
Luxurious duel spas
Firelight flickering in the background
Listening to soft music
Sipping your favourite wine
Simply listening to the quiet

Be as adventurous as you like, indulge the senses, romance the soul and rejuvenate the spirit.

Enjoy Yarra Valley wine, a relaxation massage followed by a soaking fireside spa.

A specialty dinner hamper ensures the perfect evening; you do not have to leave this special place.

Romance ... discover and enjoy the indulgence that awaits.

Cottage and Retreat ambiance

Each cottage location is purposely surrounded by ponds and stands of mature aged trees that form natural screens so that if guests enjoy listening to music, the sound will not interfere with the enjoyment or amenity of the other guests.

Romance

All cottage spas are located in purpose build alcoves in the lounge living area; picture windows highlight the adjacent 52 hectare forest to form part of the ambiance. There is something very romantic and special at night where external lighting highlights the tree ferns and forest and the guests realise that they have not had to pull the blinds down for privacy. As a special experience guests are supplied with real mineral spring water for drinking and their hot spa bath, few properties are able to offer this unique natural feature.

Return customers

Because Cheryl and Karl endeavour to never say no to their guests, and their uncompromising quality service delivery, recommendation and return custom remain at very high levels.
