Lancemore Milawa
Discover Victoria’s beautiful High Country with a romantic escape to the picturesque Lancemore Milawa, nestled amongst vineyards in the King Valley gourmet food and wine region. Fresh from a multi-million dollar renovation headed by renowned interior designer Hana Hakim in late 2022, this stunning boutique hotel draws inspiration from the surrounding natural splendour to stimulate your senses and enhance your stay. Overlooking rolling vineyards and manicured gardens, each elegant room is designed to bring the beauty of the outside in.
Milawa and King Valley are home to some of Australia’s finest gourmet producers, restauranteurs and winemakers. The picturesque Lancemore Milawa is a short walk or drive to popular regional produce destinations like the Milawa Cheese Company and Bake House, Milawa Mustard Factory and berry-picking spots. It’s also next door to the Brown Brothers Winery and Epicurean Centre. The hotel is located approximately a three-hour drive from Melbourne Tullamarine Airport (MEL). Airport transfers are not included in your package, please plan accordingly.
