It is a working farm – there are always growers and gardeners around, often the beekeeper or viticulturalist. And then there are the bakers. After a quick ‘early riser’ coffee, you might be lured out on a morning walk by the birdsong and the mist lying in the gullies, but you’ll be spurred on by the smell of fresh bread and pastries baking. Make sure to stop by for a chat in the Bake House.

Through the formal gardens and the olive groves and onto the vegetable and herb gardens where the morning’s harvest will be in progress – destined for the tables at the Lake House Restaurant. Walk down the Manchurian Pear walk to the dam and stop for a few moments of silence – you may be rewarded, with the sight of a mother kangaroo and her joey, a water bird fishing and certainly the sound of many happy frogs.

By now the Lodge Concierge will be grinding fresh coffee beans in the kitchen and the house and its residents will be stirring in readiness for the country breakfast that awaits. Conversation flows and people make arrangements for their day. In the library, or peace and quiet somewhere in the extensive gardens with a good book; more strolls through the vineyard and across the pastures; or some local off-site adventures on foot or on one of our electric bikes. Pretty Leitches Creek Mineral Spring, Daylesford Cidery, and Passing Clouds Winery, down local country lanes, are all but minutes away.

Embrace a new vision. Think outside the box, dig deep, find a new way to look at your business. Dairy Flat was created to inspire, to encourage people to immerse themselves in a new environment; something very different from their day to day experience. It’s about more than the sumptuous digs; it’s the clean country air, the wide-open starry skies, it’s a feeling you get watching the sunrise over the vines, the smell of freshly brewed coffee and croissants in the bake house, the thriving activity in the productive farm gardens and the smell of the woodsmoke as firepits are lit for evening drinks. A serviced Lodge with the privacy to conduct business, think tanks and conversations without any concern for interruptions or distractions.

There are extraordinary experiences on-site and beyond the Lodge; baking classes, gardening and beekeeping, hot air ballooning, workshops with artists and artisans, private yoga, tai chi, and martial arts. This region is rich with inspirational people, leaders in their field. Let us bring a little of their inspiration to you and your corporate retreat.

Easily accessible; 80 minutes via car from Melbourne. Helicopter transfers also available.
