Perched atop a ridge facing the majestic Mt Franklin, just outside Daylesford, this iconic architectural retreat offers sweeping views of rolling hills and farmland—a setting that feels both timeless and transcendent.

With 360-degree panoramic views, it’s perfect for hosting yoga, meditation, or wellness retreats that open up new horizons—both literally and figuratively. Sky High is a sanctuary for wellness and connection. The journey begins at a central courtyard—a welcoming hub from which the rest of the home unfolds. Sky High features four spacious king-size bedrooms with split beds, thoughtfully designed to suit couples, families, or groups of friends. You may find yourself not wanting to leave—and that’s perfectly okay. Spend your days walking to Mt Franklin, then return for a dip in the heated saltwater plunge pool, or simply settle in with a glass of wine by the fireplace, cook up a feast in the stunning kitchen.
