our course includes 16 days in one of our private Artisan Basecamps. These are fully self-contained, tranquil nature retreats located within minutes of the workshop.
Whether you are assigned the on-site Maker's Cottage or a nearby native bushland haven, you will have a functional private kitchen, comfortable living space, and the perfect quiet environment to rest your hands and clear your head.

A Sanctuary Among
the Vines

uilding a guitar for two weeks is physically demanding. The Vineyard Retreat isn't just an accommodation upgrade; it is a dedicated recovery sanctuary designed to ease aching hands and quiet the mind.
It is also the perfect excuse to bring your partner. While you are in the workshop, they can explore the Yarra Valley, before you reunite in the evening by the log-burner, wine glass in hand, entirely undisturbed.
Luxury Apartment One
The Art of Restoration
Dual Vistas
Designed with two exclusive balconies, the apartment captures both the sunrise over the ranges and the gentle evening sunset across the vineyards.
Seasonal Ease
Tailored for year-round ease, retreat to air-conditioned cool during a summer afternoon, or settle in beside the private log-burning stove on a crisp winter night.
Morning Ritual
Brew a fresh cup of locally roasted Arthurs Creek Coffee, accompanied by an in-suite breakfast hamper featuring fresh estate produce.
