The Space:

Blaze Rock Retreat has been thoughtfully created as a peaceful sanctuary for couples looking to slow down and reconnect with nature.



Set among native bushland at the foot of the Grampians, the retreat offers a quiet sense of space that is increasingly rare. Kangaroos often wander through the property, birdlife fills the morning air, and the surrounding landscape creates a feeling of calm from the moment you arrive.



Inside, the retreat is warm, comfortable and designed for relaxation after a day exploring the national park. Large windows frame views of the surrounding landscape, bringing the outdoors in and allowing the changing light of the Grampians to become part of your stay.



One of the most loved features of the retreat is the claw-foot bath, where you can soak and unwind while taking in views of the surrounding landscape. Many guests say this becomes a favourite moment of their stay — a quiet place to relax after a day of hiking, wine tasting or exploring the region.



In the cooler months, the indoor fireplace creates a cosy atmosphere perfect for slow evenings with a glass of wine while the fire burns. Firewood is provided so you can simply settle in and enjoy the warmth.



The retreat includes:

• Comfortable bedroom with quality linen

• Relaxed living space with indoor fireplace

• Claw-foot bath for long, relaxing soaks

• Fully equipped kitchen

• Bathroom with bath and shower
