Gembrook
Although it’s only an hour’s drive from the heart of Melbourne to Gembrook, these delightful garden cottages might well be a world away. ’The Harem’ whisks you away to an Arabian oasis. The open plan cottage has a four-poster bed swathed in drapes and veils. Painted Arabic scenes on the walls, sumptuous soft furnishings and the sunken double spa, seals the deliciously romantic mood. ’Bluebells’ is an enchanting boudoir with antique-crystal bed lights and a four-poster n bed draped in lilac silks and muslin with cushions a plenty. There is nothing of the traditional cottage decor inside, instead you’ll find a lilac and Mediterranean blue open-plan cottage with stunning soft furnishings, leadlight windows and door. The large outdoor spa is seen through blue twinkling beads from the four poster bed. Both garden cottages have high gabled roofs, cathedral ceilings, leadlight windows/doors, intimate spas, wood fires, four poster queen- size beds, TV, DVD, CD players with remote controls, original paintings, stunning soft furnishings, kitchens with full facilities and many surprises. Breakfast ingredients are tucked away, for you to cook at your leisure. For that extra special touch, in cottage massages, and deluxe packages are available. Treat yourself you deserve it! Soak in the atmosphere of this little country hamlet, walk to shops, parks, tearooms, cafes, and Puffing Billy, it is all on the doorstep! The cottages are ideally placed for making the most of the region. Trout and yabby farms. Berry picking season December to March. Horse riding. Pack a picnic and make the trip aboard Puffing-Billy to Emerald Lake or Belgrave. The Bunyip State Forest, and Kurth Kiln, offer sensational walking trails.
