ABOUT
Welcome to Monteith’s Mountain Den, nestled on the side of beautiful Mount Buninyong. We are fortunate to experience mornings where we are often either in or above the clouds, with stunning views overlooking neighbouring Mount Warrenheip. There will be days when you will see glistening sunrises or silent snow gently falling, the Mount is unpredictable and we love her all the more for it.
Our Mountain Den accommodation is perfect for a weekend away for two or to share with family or friends. We have a fully stocked kitchen with all the gadgets you need to create a masterpiece or take a step outside and fire up the webber for a more relaxed time.
​
During your stay immerse yourself in the rustic elegance of 'The Den,' a charming milking shed transformed into a cosy retreat. Surround yourself with the warmth of natural sheepskins and cowhides, or relax on the custom-made window seat while gazing out at the spectacular, uninterrupted view of Mt Warrenheip. Whether you're striking a match to the laid fire, enjoying a good book or preparing for your Wedding day, The Den offers a beautiful and adaptable haven with a touch of nostalgia and comfort.
Ask us for a recommended caterer and have a luncheon or dinner party.
Whatever the occasion, The Den is a beautiful adaptable inviting haven blended with nostalgia and comfort.
​
OUR SPACE
Our Mountain Den has three bedrooms, each with plush queen beds, goose down quilts and duck down pillows.
The main bedroom has an ensuite and the other two bedrooms share a second bathroom.
All bedrooms have wall heaters, ceiling fans and electric blankets to keep you very comfortable.
The sitting room has a wood heater for those cosy winter evenings to curl up with a good book and a reverse cycle for those warmer months.
We have plenty of room outside in our landscaped gardens for a toasted marshmallow around the fire pit or a bbq, or maybe a picnic in the paddock looking out to the beautiful Mt Warrenheip with a visit from our friendly sheep who are partial to a scotch finger biscuit.
