Inspired by the iconic Australian shed and American ski chalets, The Wensley offers a unique escape — or the perfect backdrop for brand shoots seeking something grounded and beautiful 1.5 hrs from Melbourne. 

Perched above a sweeping valley and connected by a striking timber bridge, the house and shed are a masterclass in considered design. Every detail — from construction to styling — has been carefully curated to blur the lines between indoors and out. High ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and natural materials invite in the light and landscape, creating a spacious, uncluttered haven from city life.

​

The open-plan chef's kitchen, lounge, and dining space anchor the home, offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The shed includes a  TV retreat and a fully equipped laundry — perfect for longer stays or creative use during shoots.

DOG FRIENDLY THIS AUGUST, SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER 2025

For a limited time only, from August 1 - 31 October, we’re welcoming well-behaved dogs to The Wensley.

​

Normally a pet-free retreat, we know how special it can be to share getaways with your four-legged companion, especially when there are wide open spaces to roam and a fire to curl up beside. So for these few wintery weeks, dogs are officially invited.

To help ensure a relaxing and respectful stay for everyone, human and hound, we ask that guests bringing a dog agree to the following:

​

• One dog per booking (unless otherwise approved in writing)

• Please bring your own dog bedding and towels

• Dogs must not be left alone on the property at any time

• Strictly no dogs on furniture or beds

• Please clean up after your dog – inside and out. A bin and bags are provided

• Dogs must be kept on-lead while walking the property, as there may be wildlife or livestock nearby

• Dogs are to sleep on their own beds. There is a laundry in the shed for those dogs that have the tendency to sneak onto couches. 

• An additional cleaning fee of $100 applies

​

When booking please select the 'Dog Friendly' option. If you wish to take advantage of the midweek romantic stay this October - and bring your dog. Please email fran@thewensley.com
