Lavender Hue

Nestled in an idyllic lush riverside setting in charming Harrietville, 22kms from Bright. While the mountain scenery, fields of fragrant lavender, the tranquil sounds of the Ovens River flowing downstream over the rocky riverbed are all worth the visit, there's plenty more to enjoy.

Ideally located for short scenic drives to NE Victorian Gourmet Food and Wine regions, the Alpine Resorts of Mt Hotham, Falls Creek and Mt Buffalo, and historic towns. Harrietville is a quaint little sub-alpine village at the foot of Mt Hotham, rich in the history of the goldfields and the cattlemen of the high country. With its cafes, general store and 2 hotels it caters for skiers in the winter months while the other seasons, bushwalkers enjoy the peace and beauty of the Ovens Valley. 

Indulge in a few nights retreat in the comfort of our 4 star private self-contained Bed & Breakfast. Guests can overlook lavender fields and surrounding cottage garden from the bedroom balcony or enjoy their continental breakfast or B-B-Q on the kitchen balcony overlooking the bush and sparkling mountain waters of the Ovens River only 20m away.

Savour our oven fresh scones or biscuits with fine espresso coffee in charming timber and mudbrick Tearooms. Indulge in gourmet lavender icecream on the patio overlooking the river and gardens.

Bill and Verona distill their own lavender essential oil on the farm, which is used to make their unique range of cosmetics and other lavender products that are available for sale in the Tearooms or by mail order.

So whether you call in for an hour or so to indulge in Verona's fresh devonshire teas or to stay in Bill's beautifully handcrafted timber B & B with his unique furnishings, you will always be warmly welcomed.

Coach tours can be arranged by prior booking with optional informative talk about the lavender and/or devonshire tea.
