The Mitchelton Winery Hotel is one of a number of new, lodgings colouring Victoria’s quiet, sunny wine country. In Central Victoria (apparently Victoria’s best-kept wine secret) , it’s also the second historic regional hotel by to open in the state in recent months – following the firm’s careful refresh of the heritage-style . The Michelton’s history is maybe a little more architecturally sensitive however – with Hecker Guthrie applying just a light touch to designed winery buildings dating back to 1967.

Hecker Guthrie completed the sensitive of the winery – including the striking steeple – in 2013. The Mitchelton Winery Hotel itself is a new structure – there was an original idea to include one in the late 60s, but plans were never realised due to budget constraints. Hecker Guthrie’s 58-room hotel and spa, which opened in December last year, continues the Mitchelton property’s 50-year design journey.

Each room features floor to ceiling windows and private terrace balconies to better take in the surrounds, timber and Bose sound systems too, to enhance the in-room experience. And on the banks of the Goulbourn River is a 20m infinity pool, landscaped by .
