Located at the culinary crossroads of Milawa, Myrtleford and Beechworth. The Space: The Church Retreat is a unique holiday property experience! After a day exploring the region, you can return to the peace and quiet of the Retreat to wind down and relax while taking in the stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The contemporary renovation has seen this former 1960's church turned into a spacious, and peaceful country retreat. The space has been completely transformed. For instance, the former altar is now a cooking and entertaining hub. This central hub overlooks the open living space that is cosy in winter, and light and airy in summer. The modern bathroom features a deep double bath that is the perfect place to unwind. Set in a relaxed rural setting within a small, lovely community that embraces fresh local produce, great local wineries, and the convenience of Cellar doors just 10 minutes drive away.
