At one of Victoria’s premier regional retreats, the Royal Mail Hotel in Dunkeld, gourmands can discover the pinnacle of gourmet luxury with a profound connection to the environment. A two-night stay in a Deluxe Mount Sturgeon One Bedroom Cottage offers seclusion and immersion in the serene Mount Sturgeon Biodiversity Reserve. Guests are welcomed with a demi-bottle of Champagne and can encounter local wildlife amid picturesque landscapes.

The highlight is a memorable degustation dinner at the acclaimed Wickens restaurant, fuelled by Australia’s largest working kitchen garden, followed by a relaxed dinner at Parker Street Project. Daily in-room breakfast, wine cellar tours, native wildlife feeding tours and a sommelier-led wine tutorial enhance the experience. With a remarkable NPS of 98, this journey epitomises exceptional epicurean luxury amidst breathtaking landscapes and impeccable hospitality.
