Alkina Lodge, Australia

Each of the self-contained villas is uniquely designed by award-winning architect Glen Murcutt, featuring a minimalist and predominantly monochromatic aesthetic. Whitewashed walls are accentuated by large windows and garden-view decks that overlook areas where kangaroos often feed on the lawn. Throughout the villas, you'll find international brands, designer fittings, and high-end furniture, including a Gaggenau-equipped kitchen, Miele appliances, a Nespresso coffee machine, a Bose audio system, and Murcutt’s signature red open fireplace. Additionally, the villas boast a stand-alone Villeroy and Boch bath and a collection of notable Australian artwork adorning the walls.

Each lodge is divided into two wings: one housing four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the master bedroom flooded with natural light from a wall of glass offering the best views; and the second wing comprising the living and dining spaces.

The Lodge is self-catering, allowing guests to prepare meals in their own luxury, fully equipped kitchen. However, onsite managers are available to cater to any need, whether arranging a private chef, providing a local guide, suggesting restaurants, or offering advice on the many sites and attractions of this beautiful corner of Victoria.
