Villa Minto: Luxury Off-Grid Flower Farm Stay
Villa Minto: Where Nature Meets Luxury
Immerse yourself in the rolling hills of Flowerdale at Villa Minto. Set within the renowned Bloom Into You Flower Farm, this architecturally designed, off-grid villa offers floor-to-ceiling views, a moody designer bathroom, and complete privacy.
Whether you're sipping wine on the deck at sunset or enjoying VIP access to the flower fields, this is your space to disconnect, ground yourself, and breathe.
Farm Life:
We encourage guests to check @bloomintoyou_flowerfarm on Instagram to see exactly what’s blooming on the farm during your specific dates!
Your VIP Bonus:
Every Saturday, January-April, as part of our event series 'A Summer In Bloom', we have our signature Gather & Bloom Twilight Pick. While these events sell out to the public, Villa Minto guests receive complimentary access.(Valued at $185pp) Step out of your private villa to enjoy the music, the food, and the sunset atmosphere, then retreat to your deck whenever you like. (Kindly note that the event is booking-dependent.)
The Experience:
Villa Minto redefines the off-grid experience. We believe you can be immersed in nature without compromising on comfort. From the moment you arrive, you will feel a grounding energy as you look out over the "Valley of a Thousand Hills."
The Villa:
Carefully positioned to capture sweeping views from every angle, the villa features an architectural design. Floor-to-ceiling windows draw the outdoors in, blurring the lines between the landscape and your living space.
Sleeping:
A luxurious King-sized bed dressed in premium linens for the ultimate deep sleep.
Living:
A well-appointed kitchen and a cosy living area that invites you to slow down. We provide complimentary provisions, including local wine, artisan bread and eggs for a gourmet breakfast (GF options available)
Bathing:
A dark, moody bathroom featuring a generous double shower, perfect for the most relaxing shower with nature views.
Outdoor Living:
A sweeping deck perfect for stargazing and the perfect spot to gather with a glass of wine as the evening cools down.
The Seasonal Flower Fields:
Our view changes with the seasons, offering a different rhythm for every stay:
Peak Bloom (Jan - April):
This is the farm’s most spectacular time of year, known as our Summer in Bloom Series. The fields are exploding with colour (Dahlias, Zinnias, Cosmos), and the energy is vibrant.
Autumn (May):
The season winds down, the light softens, and the farm turns to rich textures and autumn tones. It’s the perfect time for misty mornings and crisp evenings on the deck.
Winter (Jun - Aug):
The fields go dormant and the hills turn emerald green. This is our "Quiet Season"—ideal for heavy red wine, gathering around the outdoor fire pit, and watching the mist roll through the valley.
Spring (Sept - Nov):
The farm wakes up. Watch the seedlings being planted and the first flush of life returning to the valley as the days get longer.
Sustainable Luxury:
Powered entirely by the sun, Villa Minto offers an off-grid experience without compromise. Enjoy reverse-cycle heating and cooling, Wifi and premium amenities. This is sustainable living at its most luxurious—disconnect from the world, or stay connected with ease.
The Location:
Located in the Spring Valley of Flowerdale, just a scenic 80-minute drive from Melbourne and a stone's throw from the Yarra Valley. We are the perfect couples' retreat or luxury base for guests attending weddings at local venues:
Dining:
Minutes away from exceptional dining at the Flowerdale Estate and Trawool Estate.
Nature:
Surrounded by rolling hills, ancient gum trees, and neighbouring farms.
Villa Minto is located on a working flower farm. During the day, you may see our team tending to the fields or setting up for farm activities in the distance. The Villa itself is completely private.
