Upper Cottage in a Winery Estate

This two-bedroom cottage sits at the highest point of a Ballandean winery, with sweeping views across vines to the ranges beyond. The setting is genuinely remote—off-grid solar power and rainwater tanks—surrounded by vineyard rows and uncleared bushland. Inside you'll find a wood-burning heater, a compact kitchen with gas cooktop and microwave, and enough space for four people across two bedrooms. Eco-friendly touches include locally made Pippinwood soaps and thoughtful sustainability throughout.

The front verandah is where you'll spend most of your time. It's large, fitted with outdoor furniture and a Weber barbecue, plus a firepit nearby. Breakfast basics are included—bread, cereal, spreads, milk and juice—along with tea and coffee. The isolation here is real, which is precisely the appeal if you're after quiet and long vineyard sunsets.
