The Hotel – Heritage elegance surrounded by unspoilt beauty
Perfectly nestled above the sweeping National Trust-listed Trawool Valley and framed by rolling hills, The Trawool Estate invites you to leave it all behind for the tranquility of the Victorian bush.
This impressive heritage property has been thoughtfully renovated to create a resort-style escape in the heart of the Goulburn Valley. Its elegant rooms and suites, which offer modern comforts for all types of guests, from couples to families, are designed to make the most of the breathtaking countryside views from every angle.
The jewel in the estate’s crown is its beautiful dining, curated by Chef Eric Kwek (formerly of Coda Melbourne). Wild Water Restaurant impresses with sweeping valley views that will take your breath away, whether in the morning, as kangaroos hop through the mist, or in the evening, as the sun melts into the hilltops. The mood-lit Turbine offers the ideal setting for intimate conversations, accompanied by a decadent Asian fusion menu. The sweet al fresco Herb Garden, with its café-style umbrellas, is a perfectly peaceful spot for a sundowner overlooking the lush rolling hills, while the 1870s-era Granite Bar offers expertly mixed cocktails and local brews on tap.
Onsite, you’ll also find a solar-heated outdoor pool, plus tennis and basketball courts with floodlights, so you can enjoy a game at any time. Beyond the courts is a lake with a waterside gazebo, perfect for a stroll on a pleasant day.
Local Tips – Want to know more about the Goldfields?
Our insider travel guide includes handpicked places to eat and drink, the best activities in the area, and special experiences to make your trip memorable.
Named after the Indigenous word for ‘wild water’, the Trawool district is characterised by rolling green hills that sustain winemakers and dairy farmers. The region is a must-visit for those longing to escape to, discover and indulge in the best of rural Victoria.
Right in front of the hotel is the Great Victorian Rail Trail, a cycling and walking track that runs from Tallarook to Mansfield through the Trawool Valley. Take a gentle stroll through local flora and fauna, surrounded by shady woodland and open farmland, then decide whether you’re more in the mood for a hearty climb on the Cathkin to Alexandra section or a pitstop at a local café.
Nearby Seymour offers a charming range of cafés and boutiques, plus a playground with a real locomotive for little ones to climb on.
Immerse yourself in the produce of this award-winning wine region by visiting local cellar doors and orchards growing apples, pears and peaches. A shuttle is available (on request) to the local wineries at an additional charge.
