Heatherlie is where chic, French-provincial style meets the Australian colonial charm of Maldon, arguably Victoria's best-preserved historic town. What sets Heatherlie apart is the lengths that owners Robyn and Ian Slattery have gone to provide guests with a setting of refined elegance. The property has just been superbly renovated and the rooms feature a lifetime of furnishings collected locally and in European markets.
The main house has three bedrooms, making it perfect for a group of six. Grand 12-foot ceilings are lined with Baltic pine, and one living area has an open fire for cooler weather; in summer there's air-conditioning and the swimming pool beckons. Dinner party chefs will glory in the full kitchen, and the entertainment options include CD and DVD collections.
Then there's the utterly gorgeous Pool House, which can be rented separately or together with the main house. It, too, has tastefully muted tones, framed by French windows that open to the pool. The romantic mezzanine bedroom is a heavenly setting to snuggle into after hours. Pure bliss. Location: 135km or 1.5 hours north of Melbourne. Melway 909 C5. HEMA RA 45 C11.
