Campbell Point House Is the Bellarine Peninsula's Incredible New Luxury Hotel

If you're looking for some new local holidays to plan, consider this: the ever-so-elegant Campbell Point House has opened in the heart of  the Bellarine Peninsula wine country, and it's enough to make some of the other luxury getaways feel like veritable hostel stints.

Originally built as a family home, the new boutique hotel takes design cues from the majestic chateaux of the Loire Valley, now open to the public following a multi-million dollar spruce-up and makeover.

Boasting eight opulent rooms, Campbell Point can host a maximum of just 30 people at once, with facilities reserved strictly for guest use — visit the sprawling property and you'll pretty much feel like you've got the whole place to yourself.

And those facilities sure aren't shabby, with the hotel rocking its own championship grass tennis court, day spa, infinity pool and private jetty onto Lake Connewarre. Inside, you can kick back in style in the huge Provincial-inspired lounge, or perhaps the cigar salon, conservatory or billiards room.

The food offering here is equally impressive, with the hotel's private restaurant helmed by Tobin Kent (formerly head chef at Gladioli). Organic produce grown in the onsite garden is used throughout the menus, starring alongside a huge array of other ingredients from across the Peninsula. Guests can sit down to a lavish eight-course degustation dinner included in the cost of their room, as well as an a la carte breakfast menu to rival all those inner-city brunch feeds.

Of course, when that level of luxury awaits, you ditch the car and instead make use of the onsite helipad.

If you fancy a stay, Campbell Point House will set you back a minimum of $1250 per couple per night. That includes dinner, breakfast, complimentary snacks from the mini bar and a Champagne and cheese platter on arrival.

Campbell Point House is open from Monday, October 22, at Matthews Road, Leopold, Vic.
