Reclaiming Time in a World That Moves Too Fast
In an age of endless notifications, early flights, and tightly packed calendars, time has become the rarest luxury of all. The modern traveller isn’t just looking for a bed to rest in — they’re looking for a reason to pause.
At Lancemore Hotels, we believe the true meaning of luxury isn’t in excess — it’s in ease. Our Unhurried Slow Luxury Escapes are designed to help guests reconnect with what matters most: the land beneath their feet, the people beside them, and the quiet moments that make travel feel transformative.
The Luxury of Slowing Down
“Unhurried” is more than a pace — it’s a philosophy. It’s about trading urgency for experience, and routine for wonder. When you travel unhurried, you stop chasing itineraries and start savouring the details:
-
The scent of rain on vineyard soil.
-
The stillness of a misty morning.
-
The unspoken joy of breakfast served slowly, with care.
Each Lancemore property was built to make space for this kind of restoration — thoughtful design, regional craftsmanship, and a sense of place that can only be felt, not scheduled.
Where Place Shapes Experience
Lancemore Lindenderry Red Hill — The Vineyard State of Mind
A serene vineyard retreat on the Mornington Peninsula, where art, architecture, and wine meet. Guests wander between five star Halliday vines, taste estate-grown pinot, and watch the sun dip behind the hills. It’s an escape that captures the essence of regional sophistication — elegance, without effort.
Lancemore Macedon Ranges — Designed for Reconnection
Set amid rolling countryside just over an hour from Melbourne, this contemporary estate is purpose-built for renewal. Guests begin the day with sunrise yoga by the lake, then share stories over a firelit dinner. The balance of minimalist design and natural beauty creates a profound sense of calm.
Lancemore Milawa — Gourmet Heart of the High Country
Here, food is more than sustenance — it’s connection. Local cheesemakers, winemakers, and artisans shape the experience at every turn. Guests savour long lunches, explore the King Valley, and return to warm hospitality that feels genuinely local. Enjoy access to complimentary bikes and ride through the gourmet village picking up the best produce in Victoria.
Lancemore Mansion Hotel Werribee Park — Heritage and Harmony
Just 30 minutes from Melbourne, this grand estate blends Italianate architecture with expansive gardens. It’s a timeless escape for those seeking romance, culture, and refined indulgence without the long drive.
A Weekend Itinerary: The Two-Day Reset
Day 1:
Arrive mid-afternoon and breathe in the stillness of your surroundings. Settle into your room, pour a local vintage, and stroll through the gardens or vines before dining on seasonal produce at the property’s signature restaurants.
Day 2:
Wake slowly. Let the morning light in. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast made with regional ingredients before exploring nearby galleries, cellar doors, or forest trails. Finish the day with a glass of wine on the terrace — no agenda, just presence.
Travel With Purpose
Every journey has a purpose, sometimes discovery, sometimes rest, sometimes renewal. Unhurried Escapes invite travellers to reconnect with their own rhythm, supported by the landscapes and stories of regional Victoria.
At Lancemore, we see our role not just as hosts, but as custodians of calm — offering spaces where guests can breathe, belong, and simply be.
Because in the end, the greatest luxury isn’t what we accumulate — it’s the time we take to appreciate it.
