The Mitchelton Hotel

The place

On the Mitchelton Winery Estate in Nagambie, a sleek black building by Hecker Guthrie sits low against the vines. Inside, the mood holds — grey tones, marble floors, dark timber.

Each of the 58 oversized rooms and suites opens to a private balcony, facing either the vineyard or the river. The rest is quiet comfort: deluxe bedding, refined contemporary furnishing.

An infinity pool waits outdoors. A gallery, a cellar and a day spa fill the afternoons. The Provedore handles casual breakfasts and lunches; The Muse turns to sophisticated modern farmhouse cooking.
