Moonlight Head Private Lodge - Victoria

This modernist villa, sitting in the Australian bush 2 kilometres from the coast at the mid-point of the Great Ocean Road in coastal Victoria, is the work of prize-winning architects Murcott and Lewin. Surrounded by 42 hectares of eucalyptus bush and farmland, the villa offers a blend of privacy, tranquillity and harmony to make an exclusive retreat for up to sixteen people. Immaculate service and hedonistic levels of comfort add to Moonlight Head's universal appeal.

The huge interiors of 260sq m each are filled with sophisticated furniture, original artworks and antique Persian carpets. The bluestone floors keep their cool in the hot summer and perfectly complement the swimming pool sized baths from which you can gaze at the stars through the glass roofs.

In this refuge you will be pampered by the staff who seek to serve you at your own pace. The discreet team will ensure that your every requirement is taken into account, from selecting the right food and wines to advising the best place to spot koalas and kangaroos. For a truly spoiling holiday guests may wish to chose the 'ultimate' package which includes transfers from the airport in a private plane and days out in the bush with Australia's leading wildlife photographers.
