Limited to six women – Villa-style accommodation

Tucked away in the beautiful Grampians and surrounded by mountains, wine and wild beauty – this Winter Weekender is your chance to reset, reconnect and indulge in the simple pleasures of good company, local wine, delicious food, cosy villa living and YOU time.

This small-group women’s escape is designed for rest, laughter, connection and the freedom to just be. Whether you’re craving slow mornings, mountain hikes, spa soaks, long lunches or fireside chats, this weekend is about you. Let the Grampians work their magic – because sometimes, a little getaway is all you need to feel like yourself again.

Itinerary

Friday 22nd August – Arrival + Wine-(Wind)-Down

Arrive in the afternoon and settle into our beautiful Mt Cassell Villa accommodation at Pomonal Estate, nestled in the heart of the Grampians. With room for just six women, each room offers comfort and warmth. The villa includes a toasty woodfire heater and outdoor spa.

We’ll start the weekend with a wine flight at Pomonal Estate, before heading back to the villa for a relaxing evening. Unwind in the spa, sip another glass of local wine and enjoy a delicious dinner together in the comfort of the villa.

Optional: Friday hike to the Pinnacle in Halls Gap, prior to meeting at Mt Cassell Villa.

Saturday 23 August – Your Morning, Your Way + Long Lunch

Wake up slowly or hit the ground running – it’s up to you. The morning is yours:

• Head out for a sunrise (or morning) hike
• Treat yourself to a massage
• Explore the nearby town of Halls Gap or other local businesses
• Or enjoy a slow morning by the fire with a cuppa

Around midday, we’ll come together at the Pomonal Estate restaurant for a long three-course lunch featuring seasonal and regional flavours. After lunch, it’s back to the villa for an easy evening – soak in the spa, chat with new friends, or curl up with a book.

Dinner will be a grazing-style meal shared in the villa, keeping things relaxed and informal, just like the rest of the day.

Sunday 24 August – Final Morning + Farewell

Sleep in or take a morning stroll – whatever fills your cup. We’ll wrap up our Winter Weekender with a hot breakfast at a local café, sharing one last meal before saying goodbye, refreshed and recharged.

Optional: Post breakfast visit and walk to see MacKenzie Falls.
