As the Estate’s sprawling grounds beckon, travellers are invited to explore the enchanting environs that surround them. From the sun-kissed shores of the Surf Coast to the enchanting Great Ocean Road, or a journey inland to the tranquil Otways, nature’s bounty unfolds in all its splendour.

Each individual pod stands as a testament to luxury and relaxation, embracing guests with a king-size haven adorned with lavish appointments. A particular highlight graces five of these abodes, in the form of an outdoor bath poised to provide a vineyard vista like no other. Here, one can languor on the deck or recline in the bath, all while clutching a glass of exquisite wine, soaking in the panoramic views that unfold.

Indulgence knows no bounds as the Estate extends a gracious continental breakfast, accompanied by a bottle of the Regional Blanc de Blanc sparkling wine – an effervescent tribute to the region’s winemaking prowess. Moreover, a curated roster of local Surf Coast eateries is proffered, a culinary journey that one can embark upon for a sumptuous dinner or an exploration of the nearby attractions.

These accommodation pods also serve as the perfect afterglow for weddings and events hosted on the estate, an ideal haven for attendees of local and international A Day On The Green concerts, or simply a refuge for midweek wayfarers seeking to unravel new adventures.

Underpinned by the gracious support of the Victorian state government, the venture has been bolstered by a substantial grant of $259,000.

With bookings now a reality through the Estate’s website, the anticipation of welcoming guests to this vineyard haven is palpable. A fusion of luxury, relaxation, and the allure of the vineyards await those who choose to answer the call of Mt Duneed Estate’s on-site accommodation pods.
