“Set in its own 12-acre vineyard this is a trendy foodie base in idyllic rolling hills. By no means your run of the mill rural escape, this is a cutting-edge contemporary spot, that has got it all right. Farm-to-fork cuisine, sharply designed interiors and spectacular views. Rural perfection.”

Jackalope Merricks North, Victoria, Australia

This design-friendly gem opened in April 2017 as the first property for the Jackalope brand (others will follow in Melbourne, Shanghai and Los Angeles). Situated at the heart of its own boutique vineyard, the Jackalope blends avant-garde urban style with a gloriously rustic setting.
