These two luxury villas are close to town, off Mackey’s Peak Rd, but they seem a world away when you’re reclining on your bed or by the log fire, taking in views of the Wonderland Range through floor-to-ceiling windows. With a spa and king-size bed, it’s a real couples' getaway. There’s a minimum two-night stay ($790) at weekends; discounts are possible.
The villas make the most of local building materials such as Grampians stone, and they sit on a secluded property complete with its own lagoon.
