About this property

Located in the heart of Ashbourne in the Macedon Ranges, ‘The Retreat’ at Amryhouse is a self contained, beautifully appointed, luxury Victorian Miners Cottage. ‘The Retreat’ has recently been launched into the Macedon Ranges. It is a newly built detached cottage built with an eye to catching the style of yesteryear. It offers private accommodation for two people in its open plan. The living area features include a kitchenette, (BBQ Electric outside cooking only), a chesterfield couch, flat screen free to air TV and a king size bed. Heating/cooling is by reverse cycle air conditioning.

No matter the reason for your Ashbourne break, ‘The Retreat’ offers everything you need to relax. The only noise is the rustle of Kangaroos! The bathroom includes a cast iron bath for a leisurely soak. If you are looking for some down time from the hustle and bustle of everyday living we have you covered.

‘The Retreat’ is situated on a very quiet 20 acres away from the main residence. The property is partially bush and part developing gardens. A mod grass tennis court is available for guests. A private bricked paved area outside of the cottage is also an excellent spot to sample local wine you may have uncovered from one of the Macedon Ranges Wineries.

The Macedon Ranges has much to offer. Travel time to Woodend Village (10 minutes), Hanging Rock (20 minutes), Mt Macedon Cross (25 minutes), Kyneton with its famous Piper Street (22 minutes), Trentham (13 minutes) & Daylesford a 34 minute drive.

At ‘The Retreat’ you will enjoy privacy, understated luxury and easy access to fabulous foods and wines in the nearby towns. A fresh basket of breakfast goods is of course included. (Breads, cereals, fruit & yoghurt)

A truly special romantic get-away

I surprised my partner with a 2-night stay here to celebrate his special birthday. What a delight to have this delicious cottage all to ourselves, tucked out of sight of others, and surrounded by restful green lawn, hedges, kookaburras, kangaroos and assorted trees and flowers! With everything we could need ready and waiting, including a superbly-comfortable king bed, and everything spotless and tastefully appointed, it was so easy to rest and rejuvenate together at the Cottage. I just wish we’d had more time to laze on the sun-kissed verandah with a book and coffee... but what with all the nature walks, cafes and restaurants, antique stores, spas and galleries etc. in this region, we were completely spoilt for options to fill our time. It’s a great problem to have, in this beautiful part of the world! Thanks very much, Mary and Derek. We had a wonderful stay at your property and would love to return another time.

Superb property

We had a wonderful time at the retreat. Mary was just a wonderful host and was very flexible with us as there were some challenges we faced before we arrived. Everything was as advertised and meticulously clean and beautifully presented. Wonderful quiet environment with regular visits from the roos and a rabbit or two! Could not recommend more highly!
