Carl's Hut is 1 hour from Melbourne in the Yarra Valley, on Solitude Estate vineyard.
A perfect couple's retreat or solo getaway, it's equipped with everything needed to work away from home.
Enjoy views of the Great Dividing Range, local bush-walking, sightseeing and local wineries & restaurants. Most importantly, take the time to recharge and relax in this intimate and luxurious retreat on your own private vineyard.

The space
Carl's Hut is a Yarra Valley vineyard stay that discretely blends the old and the new, with heated polished concrete floors, vaulted ceiling, skylights, original timber beams, lime-washed walls, a bedroom with forest views and bathroom with a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the vines.

The beautifully appointed kitchenette features a retro-Gaggenau stove top, while automatic slab heating and split system air conditioning enable the ambient temperature to be sufficiently comfortable without the need to light a fire.

The windows have been fitted with insect screens so they can be opened for cross ventilation particularly when the weather is warm.

Sustainability and historical preservation have been paramount in the design, with the use of local materials including stringy-bark timber and clay.

A selection of Solitude Estate wines are also available for purchase at Carl's Hut to enable guests to complement the perfect culinary experience. And to help set the right groove, guests can play their favourite music on a Klipsch the Three heritage speaker.

Set well away from the hum of traffic , another unique feature of this well-treed property is its abundance of wildlife and native birds. Just the tonic to reconnect with nature and recharge the batteries!

Carl's Hut is located on Solitude Estate Vineyard, a private top 50 vineyard in Australia that is dedicated to making wine how nature intended.
