Is this Australia's best villa? Its hard to argue with that!

Perched high on the rim of a prehistoric volcanic plateau, Eaglesnest Villa is a truly unforgettable escape, offering one of the most spectacular vantage points in the region. With uninterrupted, panoramic views across the entire Hepburn and Daylesford valley, this extraordinary villa is more than a place to stay – it’s a deeply emotional, sensory experience that leaves guests in awe the moment they walk through the door.

Every element of Eaglesnest tells a story. Step inside and you’re greeted by floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall glass that draws the landscape inside and makes you feel as though you’re floating above the world. The villa’s striking interior features salvaged design elements that blend rustic charm with timeless elegance. The floor is made from 100-year-old timber reclaimed from a Scout Hall, worn smooth with history and soul. A majestic four-poster bed, handcrafted from reclaimed wood and draped in soft fairy lights, invites you to sleep under a canopy of stars—indoors.

At the heart of the villa is a luxurious indoor copper bath positioned to take full advantage of the valley views. Soak in style as morning mist rolls through the trees or under the golden glow of sunset. When the air cools, a beautiful wood-burning fireplace casts warmth and romance throughout the space, making it the perfect year-round retreat.

Eaglesnest is styled with a bold and soulful aesthetic that pays homage to African tribal and colonial design, but with a refined, modern twist. The result is both grounding and uplifting, luxurious yet authentic. It’s a place where time slows down, and the noise of the outside world simply falls away.

Many guests have described their first moments here as overwhelming – some even moved to tears by the sheer beauty and stillness of it all. Whether you’re seeking inspiration, solitude, romance or simply a place to breathe deeply, Eaglesnest Villa is unlike anything you’ve experienced before.

It’s not just a stay. It’s a moment you’ll never forget.
