“Designer lairs on the vineyard”

As the story goes, whiskey is the tipple of choice for these mythical part-jackrabbit, part-antelope creatures, but this Jackalope is enticing guests with wine. The 46-key hotel is a modern yet century-old homestead. The sculptured art installations make the vibe avant-garde, while the surrounding vineyards keep it charmingly bucolic. Just an hour from Melbourne, the dining here is top-notch, and the relaxing atmosphere is as intoxicating as the views and fine wines.
