Discover Franklin Vale Retreat – an exclusive hillside haven nestled in the foothills of Mount Franklin, just minutes from Daylesford and Hepburn Springs. With two elegantly appointed, self-contained villas, this secluded retreat offers refined luxury, serene views, and a deep sense of calm for those who value beauty, privacy, and thoughtful design.
Franklin Vale Retreat – Where Luxury Meets Stillness.
Tucked amidst a pristine botanical landscape, each villa at Franklin Vale Retreat is a private sanctuary – graceful, refined, and intimately connected to nature. Designed with timeless elegance and an unwavering attention to detail, the interiors evoke quiet luxury, with hand-selected furnishings, organic textures, and a warm, earthy palette. Panoramic bushland views frame every space, inviting the outdoors in and encouraging moments of deep exhale.
Wake to soft morning mists cascading over rolling hills, or spend a languid afternoon beside the gas log fire, wrapped in stillness. Every element of your stay is crafted to slow time and elevate the senses.
Two architecturally distinct villas, “Mulberry” and “Magnolia”, each designed for two guests, offer an intimate escape without compromise. Individually styled yet equally indulgent, both feature sumptuous bathrooms with luxe amenities, fully equipped kitchens, plush king bedding, and expansive indoor-outdoor living areas. Ideal for discerning solo travellers, couples, or friends seeking separate yet equally sophisticated accommodation.
Though you’ll feel utterly secluded, Franklin Vale Retreat lies just minutes from Daylesford and Hepburn Springs. Explore mineral springs, artisan cafés, boutiques, and local galleries before retreating to your haven in the hills.
More than a getaway, Franklin Vale is a destination for reconnection with self, with nature, and with the art of slow living.
Mount Franklin is a striking extinct volcanic crater just 10 minutes north of Daylesford. Known for its perfectly formed cone and tranquil bush surrounds, it’s a favourite local spot for picnics, walking trails, and stargazing. The crater is encircled by a ring of tall gums and pine trees, creating a natural amphitheatre that feels both peaceful and otherworldly. Rich in Dja Dja Wurrung cultural significance, Mount Franklin offers a quiet connection to nature and history, all within easy reach of Daylesford’s cafes, mineral springs, and galleries.
