Few hotels can match the setting of this classy country-house hotel, which offers 10 stylish rooms (opt for a downstairs deluxe suite) in a pastoral 1828 homestead. Dinners (two/three courses $60/75) are in a formal ballroom setting with an informal atmosphere, and you can play golf, grab one of the free bikes, or just pretend you're 'to the manor born'.
The estate is the base for the Cradle Mountain Huts Walk and Bay of Fires Lodge Walk, making a stay here the perfect pre- or post-walk reward. You'll find it off Meander Valley Rd, between Carrick and Westbury.
