Japanese Mountain Retreat

Enter your suite at the Japanese Mountain Retreat and step back in time to the world of ancient Japan. From the tatami matting to the shoji screens a traditional Japanese experience awaits you.

Water from the tsukubai falls into the stone basin. Wind chimes echo a distant past when the tea ceremony and kimono were part of daily life in rural Japan.

Step into your ofuro (deep tub) overlooking your very own private Japanese garden. Soaking and submerged to the chin it is a time for relaxation, contemplation and sensual pleasures.

Rejuvenate your mind and body with an in-room relaxation or deep tissue massage.

Savour a five course Japanese dinner for two and sleep soundly the Japanese way on futons with warm woollen quilts.

The Japanese Mountain Retreat is situated on five secluded acres of natural forest, just 45 minutes from Melbourne in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges and 15 minutes from the heart of the Yarra Valley.

The retreat features: Two spacious double guest suites each complete with traditional bathroom overlooking its own private Japanese garden. Both suites enjoy a large moon viewing dais overlooking a lake.
