A Festive Stay for Those Who Prefer Peace

Slow days. Yarra Valley food and wine. Peaceful nights.

If the festive season leaves you craving stillness instead of stress, this two-night escape at Wombat Bend might be exactly what you need.

Nestled in tranquil bushland, our cosy mud-brick cottage offers a complete pause from December’s manic rush — a place to breathe deeply, linger over good food, and fall asleep to the sounds of nature. Whether you’re travelling solo or with someone special, this is Christmas without the chaos.

🎄 About your Festive Dinner Hamper

This is not just any hamper you can buy off the shelf! We created this dinner hamper exclusively for this offer to showcase our local foodie producers – it includes everything you need for a quiet, and tasty, “night in”.

Your Festive dinner hamper will set you up for three wonderful courses – a Yarra Valley Cheese Platter, Tomato & Basil Rigatoni, Gourmet Puddings with Ice-cream or cream.

Entrée – Yarra Valley Cheese Platter

  • Cheese, fruit paste, olives, and crackers from local makers.

Main – Pasta with Yarra Valley Cheeses

  • Lello rigatoni, Cunliffe & Waters sauce, Persian fetta, hard cheese — with optional olives left from your entrée.
    If you plan on exploring the valley, grab some salmon, trout, prawns or chicken to add to your pasta.

Dessert – Gourmet Pudding

  • Choose between Fig & Orange, Date & Walnut or traditional Christmas pudding served with ice cream or brandy cream.

After Dinner

  • Hunted + Gathered’s Four Pillars dark chocolate for your after-dinner coffee.

Drinks

  • Your choice of a bottle of Goodwill red, white or sparkling wine, or Yarra Valley Cider or Yarra Valley beer.

 

Please contact us if you have dietary requests, we may be able to adapt.

(If you prefer to dine out, you can take your hamper home as a delicious treat for yourself or friends. The hamper is presented in a beautiful gift box which makes it easy to transport and perfect for giving as a gift.)
