Architect-designed cabins tucked into the wild beauty of Victoria’s Grampians promise seclusion, serenity and pure luxe escapism.

Hidden among the eucalypts in the Grampians bushland, DULC is Victoria’s ultimate hideaway – a handful of architect-designed cabins where minimalist luxury meets wilderness serenity. With just five exclusive stays, each cabin offers the kind of stylish seclusion peace-seekers dream about: think panoramic bush views, private spa baths and cosy fireside evenings.

The Mountain View Cabin is a dreamy one-bedroom retreat designed for couples chasing privacy without sacrificing luxury. Warm wood meets polished concrete, floor-to-ceiling windows frame the rugged beauty of the Grampians, and evenings can be spent in your own private outdoor spa under the stars. At $385 per night, it’s intimate elegance at its best.

For those travelling in groups or families, the Mountain View Deluxe cabin takes it up a notch. Offering two spacious bedrooms with luxe finishes throughout, this retreat combines sleek design with generous living spaces. It’s slightly pricier at $485 per night but promises an unmatched sense of space, serenity and refined comfort.

Then there’s the Treehouse Cabin, an elevated one-bedroom escape perched among the trees. With a gallery-style loft bedroom, airy living space below and huge windows that immerse you in leafy panoramas, this unique stay redefines luxury treehouse living. Starting at $385 per night, it’s a lofty retreat made for romance.

What makes DULC truly stand out is its seamless integration with nature. The cabins are crafted from rough-sawn timber, concrete and glass, blending effortlessly into their bush setting. Despite feeling remote and deeply secluded, they’re just three kilometres from Halls Gap’s cafes, cellar doors and spectacular lookouts. Halls Gap just won silver for Victoria’s Top Tiny Tourism Town award.
