Henrietta's Country House, Luxury Couples Retreat

Henrietta's is grand Art Deco home, one of only two original substantial redbrick houses built in Chewton. Recently rescued and restored as an original beauty, with a sandstone fireplace, grand front porch with serene views across the valley, polished floorboards, leadlight windows and beautiful indoor spa bath. Reverse cycle heating/cooling, Gas log fireplaces, beautiful gardens and outdoor bbq/entertaining area. A fully functioning kitchen with coffee machine and essential cooking provisions is provided. An eclectic mix of antique persian rugs, oriental artworks, empire style furnishings, bespoke bathroom mural and high art deco ceilings make for an elegant and fascinating visual experience.

Immediately nearby there are walking tracks through forests with abundant wildlife, goldfields and historical sites. Discover antique stores in Chewton, and Henrietta's is only a 5 minute drive to Castlemaine and the cafe/foodie/arts/events always on offer year round. Visit the Wesley Hill Market on a Saturday morning and cook up a storm in the fully appointed kitchen. An ideal weekend retreat from the noise of the city!

Named for the lady the house was built for early last century, Henrietta's sits atop a site rich in Goldfields history. Over a hundred and fifty years ago the location was reputedly home to a surgeon, a pub, a Cobb & Co depot and a couple of other small titles. Numerous archeological curious have been unearthed in the gardens over the years, from fob watches to oriental currency, and can be found on display around the house.

Henrietta's offers pet-friendly and adults only luxury accommodation.

Gorgeous cosy comfy cottage
Henrietta’s is a gorgeous cosy comfy cottage with everything you could possibly want/need for your stay. It was scrupulously clean and stocked with lots of lovely touches like breakfast foods, chocolates by the beds, lovely bathroom products, books and games, the list goes on. Very comfy beds with electric blankets if it’s a chilly night. Our host, Kerri, was a pleasure to deal with. We’ll definitely be back.

Very much enjoyed our stay. Had everything you could need and more including generous breakfast provisions. We were lucky with the weather so out furbabies could enjoy the wonderful garden with us as we sat outside and relaxed. The place has a secure fencing and the dogs were very safe there. The RedHill pub has new management so really enjoyed out dinner there and I would also recommend the Midland Bar restaurant if you want something more upmarket. A very nejoyable stay!

Old style home with modern appliances'
The home had all that you would need to have to arrive at any time. There was milk, butter, juice, bread, coffee, and tea. Plus all the items you would expect to find in your own home.
