Modesc Timboon

Luxurious and secluded, Modesc Timboon sits right there among in the trees in the 12 Apostles Hinterland. It’s the area’s most unique accommodation – a striking modular-style building clad with near-black colorbond steel. A north-facing timber deck looks out onto a rolling green lawn that recedes into landscaped native gardens and bushland. Koalas live around these parts, so keep your eyes peeled.

Inside, you’re met with all the hallmarks of a very fancy stay. Just look to the designer decor, luxe bathroom, ultra-modern fireplace, and matte-black kitchen. You know you’ve arrived when you can see your own reflection on the fridge door. Polished concrete gives way to plush carpet in both bedrooms; one with a king-sized bed, the other with two doubles.

Modesc is just five minutes from the centre of Timboon, which is a mecca on the 12 Apostles Gourmet trail. Timboon Railway Shed Distillery, Timboon Fine Ice Creamery and the Fat Cow Food Company are just some of the providores close at hand. You’re also moments from the Timboon Rail Trail, a spectacular walk and riding track through the surrounding hinterland. It’s thick with native wildlife, rainforest and volcanic features.
