The Wensley

Nov 10

Nestled between rolling high hills and a perfect green landscape, The Wensley is a bespoke timber, an architectural house and shed built from recycled Oregon and Ironbark.

The Wensley is a haven of peace and serenity in a secluded but central pocket of the Surf Coast Hinterland called Wensleydale, offering a chance to stay tranquil, meditate and explore The Great Ocean Road and surrounding countryside with complete privacy. It feels home away from home.

Inspired by the iconic Australian shed and American ski chalets, The Wensley is the ideal hideaway to escape city life. With a sophisticated aesthetic juxtaposing the rustic feel of the house, this romantic retreat inspires freshness and life.

Location: Melbourne, Australia

Price from 700€/night

Captains Rest

Tasmania, Australia, Oceania

Perched on the edge of the world, this oceanfront cottage in Lettes Bay Tasmania was built for those of us with a romantic disposition, and a penchant for dramatic sights. Australian designer Sarah Andrews turned what was once a dilapidated shack into the Instagram worthy property it is now, furnishing the house with an eclectic mix of antiquities – from portraits to sailing gear –that make its interiors as mesmerizing as the landscapes outside. Use it as a home base to explore the vast expanse of Tasmanian wilderness or stay in, fireside, and contemplate the water with a cup of hot brew in hand.

Hôtel Weekend

Travel for yourself, not for others. Embrace a slower pace and get to know the heart of your destination. Walk barefoot and tilt your head up to the sun. Enjoy the journey itself; take a road trip, sit in the window of a train or on the deck of a boat. Seek out hidden gems and soak up the atmosphere. Set your out of office. Make memories you'll treasure.
