Overview
Winery visits and weekend getaways are two things that were largely missing from our calendars in 2020. But if you'd like to make up for lost time now that restrictions have eased, you'll find both experiences rolled neatly into one at famed Nagambie winery Mitchelton. Of course, the property already boasts a luxury boutique hotel and spa, which opened in 2017. But they've now been joined by a very different style of accommodation, this time starring seven shiny, full-size Airstream RVs.
Originally set to launch in late December, but now open for bookings, the new Airstream hotel has plans to stick around permanently, gracing the picturesque grounds just a short stroll from the original Mitchelton Hotel. Each of the vintage-style vehicles comes fitted with 20s-inspired interiors, styling touches courtesy of local boutique Harvest Moon Home, and a minibar stocked with gourmet snacks and Mitchelton wines. There are private ensuites, comfy beds and luxurious linens. Guests will also enjoy their own deck area and barbecue set-up, primed for sunset sips.
A stay in one of the Airstreams will also get you full access to the rest of Mitchelton's many facilities, including the swimming pool, gym, day spa and the Gallery of Aboriginal Art, which is the largest of its kind in the country. You'll enjoy a breakfast hamper filled with goodies, while the onsite Muse restaurant is open daily from morning until dinner, serving contemporary fare in a newly refurbished space overlooking the Goulburn River.
Those keen to do some exploring will also find a range of picnic options available to order from The Provedore. And of course, there's the winery's award-winning cellar door, where you can sample Mitchelton's finest drops, dig into the property's history and choose a few bottles to go.
Find Mitchelton's Airstream Hotel at 470 Mitchellstown Road, Nagambie. Prices start from $400 a night for two guests. To find out more and make a booking, head to the website.
