eco-luxe @ Mount Avoca

eco-luxe @ Mount Avoca Information

Nestled amongst the picturesque vineyard and olive grove at Mount Avoca, eco-luxe @ Mount Avoca offers three newly completed lodges that blend a balance of luxury with an eco sensibility.

As with Mount Avoca's outstanding wines, eco-luxe is a delightful mix of elegance, style, great character and regional distinction.

Tranquillity is key in these beautiful self contained lodges - large picture windows overlooking the magnificent backdrop of Mt Avoca and the Pyrenees Range set the tone to recharge and unwind.

Stylish and comfortable, the generous living spaces open onto private balconies - a perfect spot to watch the sunset over the vineyard. A carefully selected library of books (many from the family's antique collection) grace the bookshelf. Luxuriously appointed king bedrooms feature beautiful linen and overlook vines, as do the travertine lined spa bathrooms that offer lush amenities. A second bedroom offers bunk beds for two.

The Luxurious

Architecturally designed; a large living area with kitchenette opens onto a balcony with views of the Pyrenees Ranges. Wall to wall windows offer postcard views from both the bedroom and living room.

The bathroom is on a decadent scale and features a shower, spa-bath and shines with natural light. Floor to ceiling Italian stone envelopes this utterly relaxing space.

The polished spotted gum floor leads to the fully carpeted bedroom for the perfect end to the perfect day.

The Ecological

While the emphasis is on luxury, eco-luxe reflects the vineyards' environmental focus. The architecturally designed lodges employ passive heating and cooling, while eco-friendly materials minimise the carbon foot-print.

Cladding is native Australian Cypress-pine from managed plantations; floors are native spotted gum. Massive slabs of local bluestone form passive solar heat banks at the foot of the living and bed room windows. Each lodge has its own water tank and biological sewerage treatment.
