Mount Monument Retreats

More from Mount Monument Retreats

Higher Ground. Deeper Rest. A sanctuary perched high on the slopes of Mount Monument — where silence, scenery, and extraordinary design meet.
Designed by renowned architect Nonda Katsalidis, Mount Monument Retreats is a rare escape for those who seek beauty, stillness, and space to breathe. Leave your devices behind. Arrive fully.

Elektra Retreat
Elektra is a retreat conceived for those who believe that indulgence and intimacy are not mutually exclusive. Generous in scale yet deeply personal in feel, it is equally at home hosting two couples seeking a shared escape or a single couple who simply wish to live — for a time — without compromise.

Two beautifully appointed bedrooms and two bathrooms speak to a standard of finish that leaves nothing unconsidered. Underfloor heating, fine linen bedding, and thick robes and slippers ensure that comfort here is felt as much as seen. The open living and dining space is anchored by a statement fireplace, while the fully appointed kitchenette means every meal can be an occasion.

Step outside and the north-facing deck reveals its gift — wide, uninterrupted views across the Macedon Ranges, perfectly oriented to catch the last light of the day. As the sun descends behind the ranges, the hot tub awaits: a moment of pure, unhurried pleasure at the end of a perfect day.

At Elektra, there is nothing to do but be exactly where you are.

Chiara Retreat
Chiara is a retreat built for two — and two alone. An intimate sanctuary where the outside world softens and disappears, leaving only the view, the fire, and the unhurried pleasure of each other’s company.

Natural timbers and soaring ceilings create a space that feels both expansive and enveloping, while floor-to-ceiling glass frames an uninterrupted panorama across the Macedon Ranges — oriented west to capture the full drama of the evening sky. As the sun descends, the ranges blush gold and the day’s last light plays across every surface.

The king bedroom is dressed with the finest linen — soft bedding, layered cushions and coverlets that invite you to linger long into the morning. The bathroom is a quiet work of art: a circular moonlit shower, underfloor heating, and surfaces of stone and timber that feel cool, considered, and entirely of this place.

The living, dining and kitchenette space wraps around you like a warm embrace. Pour a martini. Settle by the fireplace. Watch the sun slip behind the ranges from your private deck.

Some weekends are good. Chiara makes them unforgettable.

Siska and Ondine Retreats
The Mount Monument story is still unfolding.

Siska and Ondine — two further intimate retreats, each a private world for two — are currently being completed and will be welcoming guests soon. Like Chiara, each offers one bedroom, one bathroom, and the same uncompromising standard of design and finish that defines every retreat at Mount Monument.

Details and availability will be released shortly. Join our mailing list below to be among the first to know.
