Set on 80 rolling acres in Wensleydale, The Wensley is a bespoke timber retreat built from recycled Oregon and Ironbark. Just 1.5 hours from Melbourne, and close to Lorne, Aireys Inlet, Fairhaven and Birregurra’s acclaimed Brae, it offers the perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility.

​

Perched above a sweeping valley and connected by a striking timber bridge, the house is inspired by the iconic Australian shed and American ski chalets. Every detail, from construction to styling, has been curated to blur the lines between indoors and out. High ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and natural materials invite in the light and landscape, creating a spacious, uncluttered haven from city life.

​

Sleeping up to 10 guests across five beds (plus one infant), the property includes two downstairs bedrooms and a loft with two queens and a king. Guests enjoy exclusive access to the house and shed, with total privacy across the entire 80-acre estate.

 

The open-plan chef’s kitchen, lounge and dining area form the heart of the home, while the adjoining shed houses a TV retreat and laundry,  ideal for longer stays, intimate gatherings or creative shoots.

 

Whether for a family holiday, group escape or quiet retreat, The Wensley is a timeless place to gather, recharge and reconnect with nature. We offer private dining
