Nestled in the foothills of Victoria’s High Country, The Lodge at Plane Trees Estate in Stanley—an old timber mill turned luxury lodging—is the ultimate place to kick back and relax.
Waking up at Planetrees you can be forgiven for not knowing which country you are in. Planetrees Lodge is a house that, true to Genevieve’s dream, will be filled with people time and time again
You could be in Provence or Tuscany ... but you are in Stanley. (The owner) has created a luxurious, modern enclave with unusual style on a 2 ha site.
Chic chill-out zone for couples and families. City stress melts away as you sit in the garden serenaded by tinkling fountains. Attention to detail is everywhere.
A dream project...rooms are spacious, the kitchen is handsomely equipped...several acres of beautifully landscaped gardens to explore... or just laze in supreme comfort with a book and a glass of wine.

Wonderful stay - blown away by the gardens. The Arts Suite is extremely comfortable and stylish. We were so taken with the experience we've booked for next year. (January 2018)
We celebrated my husband's 60th birthday with a group of friends at Planetrees and had a truly wonderful time. We loved the Lodge and the garden was spectacular and inviting. We didn't want to leave! (April 18).
Although local environs had plenty to offer we were happy staying put at Planetrees enjoying the garden, outdoor sitting areas, refreshing pool and peaceful ambience. The kitchen had all we needed and we appreciated many the little extras. (Dec 2017)
What a spectacular property! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed longer! Lovely gardens and wonderful host. (Stayed at The Lodge - December 2015)
I can easily describe ‘Planetrees’ as a “piece of heaven”. Genevieve was a wonderful host and the house and surroundings were beautiful – perfect for our group. We’ll be back! (Stayed in the Lodge - Feb 2016)
There was 10 of us, so we filled both the house and the separate studio apartment, both of which are stylish, inviting and spacious. There is heaps of space to sit back and relax, and the kitchen has everything you could need. The garden is spectacular. This was our third visit, there will be a fourth.

We had a lovely family stay – three adults and five children. Great comfy beds, weather was hot but house was lovely and cool with a breeze each night. Gardens great for hours of exploration, cricket and meals and drinks outside. Lots of things to do nearby. (Stayed in The Lodge - January 2017)
We spent a family week at Planetrees. This has to be one of the best properties I have stayed in anywhere. It felt like a home away from home with every comfort you could think of provided. The gardens are spectacular and the pool is wonderful. (Stayed in The Lodge - January 2017)
This is a very special place. Beautifully appointed and set amongst magnificent gardens. It is a location to relax and unwind. Our host was very welcoming. (Stayed in the Arts Suite - January 2017)
We stayed in this incredible house for three nights with my family. Genevieve is a gracious host, and has thought of everything. We have stayed in high-end places in Italy, France, and many other locations, and simply Planetrees is top of the list if you are looking for relaxation in one of the most beautiful regions of Australia. (Stayed in The Lodge - December 2015)
A very professionally organised place and ideal for large family or other groups. (Stayed in The Lodge - 2015)
