Lavender Farm Hotel  

Set in the Yarra Valley with sweeping valley and mountain views, this spot is just a five-minute drive to the town of Healesville and about 2 km from Healesville Sanctuary. Local highlights include Badger Creek Bushland Reserve and Coranderrk Nature Conservation Reserve, and the Melbourne Cricket Ground is listed among nearby attractions.

A spacious 3-bedroom farmhouse sits in beautiful gardens and overlooks the valley. Expect a warm, rustic vibe — wood fire, a long veranda for sunsets, two bathrooms (one with a spa bath), a fully equipped kitchen, lounge and dining room. Rooms vary by category and can include in-room DVD players, TVs, alarm clocks and showers. Pets are allowed and accessible features (including an elevator in the on-site hotel areas) are available.

Outdoor pool and swimming facilities, an on-site restaurant and a BBQ area set you up for lazy days and sunset dinners. Free parking, laundry and ironing services, garden herbs and lemons for guests, and a wood fire on cooler nights. Wake up to valley-mist mornings and unwind with a spa bath after vineyard touring.

Wi‑Fi is available throughout the property and there is free parking for guests.

Taste local cuisine in the on-site restaurant or fire up the BBQ on the veranda. Help yourself to herbs and lemons from the garden, and enjoy easy access to nearby Yarra Valley vineyards for wine tasting and regional fare.
