Arinya Retreat Daylesford

Arinya Retreat is an architecturally eco-friendly designed home constructed of rammed earth. Nestled down an unsealed dirt track in the Hepburn Regional Park Daylesford set amongst a sincere private landscape.

The retreat is only a 10-minute drive from Daylesford and Hepburn Springs enabling our guests to truly immerse themselves in a health and wellbeing stay. Arinya is an ideal destination for a romantic interlude for two or a tranquil getaway with friends or family.

Compliment your stay with a In -house massage, a natural therapy, bathe in the jetted tub, spoil yourselves with an indulgent private dinner or take a stroll to one of the many nature walks, especially to the mineral spring area on the property.

We offer two king-size bedrooms, one queen bedroom with an extra king single bed, and one twin bedroom with an additional trundle bed sleeping up to 10 guests.

Perfect escape and retreat

Just returned from a perfect 2-night getaway at this lovely retreat. The wood fire was absolutely divine and created such a cozy atmosphere. The spaces throughout the property were beautifully designed and perfectly suited our needs.We were so comfortable with our sewcation (yes we spend the entire weekend inside sewing) that we didn't even venture out to explore - the property was self catering so we had everything we wanted for a stress free sewing weekend away.Would definitely book again and highly recommend to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat in Daylesford. Thank you for a memorable stay!

Great place to stay with a small group

We loved our stay at Arinya Retreat. My only regret is that we didn’t take advantage of being able to book a massage at the house. Well furnished house with great kitchen facilities. Could do with a couple of larger pots for cooking for a group of 6 or more. Would stay there again for sure.

The pictures don’t do it justice, incredibly relaxing, and calm environment. Fantastic for a weekend away. Damien, the manager was incredibly helpful with suggesting places to eat and see, and also in home care, organizing spa treatments, and also preparing a fire for people who cannot start themselves. lol cannot wait to return!
