    Drift House

    A charming boutique of blended delights

    Housed within a historic building, boasting quirky architectural features and six individual suites, this beach-inspired haven has all you need for a heavenly seaside sojourn.

    Each suite, adorned with an assortment of textiles, patterns and a distinctive colour scheme, is also decked out with home comforts, modern amenities and a kitchenette. Some feature deep stone baths, taking up centre stage in the room,  private walled courtyards, original Edwardian elements and open fireplaces.

    Mornings are commemorated with a superb continental breakfast, served in the airy salon, which opens out onto the garden. Locally-sourced produce, fresh fruit and homemade bread is on the menu and can be washed down with cups of artisanal tea or coffee. Maxibars, stocked with regional wines and organic treats can be found in the suites for further snacking and refreshment.

    With the beach down the road, guests can spend their days surfing in the waters,  strolling past hidden coves and cycling along scenic tracks. A solar-heated pool, tucked behind a rock wall on the grounds of the hotel, means that you don’t have to venture far to cool down.

    Victoria and Melbourne

    United Places Botanic Gardens

    An exquisite conception of a collection of award-winning designers, this modernist-inspired residence featuring 12 suites, serves as a ‘home hotel’, with an additional level of luxury. Looking out across the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens or the city of Melbourne, each suite encompasses a spacious terrace, an ideal spot for tucking into the complimentary gourmet breakfast at the start of your day or for unwinding with a nightcap.

    Every fitting and furnishing has been carefully selected to enhance the hotel’s overall feel of understated sophistication. Fully-equipped kitchens, with laundry amenities and airy living areas, sporting mini-bars allow guests to feel completely at home. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interior spaces with natural light, illuminating the muted or dark colour schemes, and the soft velvet elements.

    A designer in his own right, Melbourne chef, Scott Pickett heads the hotel’s acclaimed restaurant, Matilda 159 Domain. Here, the dishes are masterpieces of contemporary flame-grilled delights, made with local meats, and seasonal produce and created to match the equally enticing décor. If you aren’t dining in this low-lit, wood-panelled den, then you can enjoy a meal served by your personal butler in the comfort of your suite.

    During your stay, your on-call butler can assist you with reservations or recommendations for restaurants or activities in the city. Additionally, you can make use of the butler service to arrange yoga, Pilates or personal training sessions, or to book a treatment at a local salon.
