🌟 Come and discover The Old School. An idyllic and cozy haven perfect for couples looking for a romantic escape or solo travellers in need of a tranquil retreat 🌟

Nestled in the enchanting foothills of Hallston, The Old School offers a unique retreat along the legendary Grand Ridge Road in South Gippsland.

🏡🤍🌿

Bucolic bliss only 1.45 hours from Melbourne...😊

Surrounded by a rambling mix of deciduous and native gardens, our restored and reimagined 1920s schoolhouse invites you into a world of timeless rural romance and magical elegance.

Indulge in your own fireside bath, experience deep sleep in our luxury king bed, play a vinyl melody, Netflix and chill, delight under a rain shower or take advantage of the separate kitchen for culinary wonders.

The kitchen has a breakfast bar, big sink, fridge, single induction cook top, air fryer, microwave, toaster, rice cooker, kettle, pots and pans, plates and cutlery, utensils, coffee machine and coffee plunger.

We provide complimentary coffee, tea, bread, our own farm fresh eggs, milk (soy & cow), honey, jam, muesli, oats, cookies, lollies and loads of other complimentary goodies.

Explore the quaint charm of local villages Mirboo North and Leongatha, only 15 minutes away, where local culture, cafes and hospitality beckon.

Venture out, and in just 30 minutes, you'll feel the sand between your toes at Inverloch beach.

There's loads to explore in the area. Meeniyan is great for live bands & food. Loch is a hidden countryside gem.

And for the nature enthusiasts, there are plenty of local walks and bush trails to explore, including The Great Southern Railway walking track which starts in Leongatha and is suitable for all levels.

The world famous Wilsons Promontory National Park is only a scenic 1 hour drive away - a pristine wilderness that adds a whole other layer of magic to your visit to The Old School.

Fancy a bit of work-from-paradise? We got you, with super-fast complimentary Wifi, printing and scanning services, and plenty of work space.

Whether it's the vibrant hues of summer, or the cozy embrace of winter, come and relax here with our chickens at the much-loved gateway to South Gippsland, The Old School at Grand Ridge House.

One of THE BEST places we've stayed
What an absolutely amazing place to stay for the night. Loved the warm fire on a chilly night along with the old record player, cozy bed, waking up to the beautiful birds singing and delicious fresh produce for brekkie. No detail has been spared; this is one of the best places we've stayed. A beautifully renovated old school, highly recommend!

Exquisite!
What a beautiful place. Gorgeously renovated historical one room school house with so many provided inclusions. The fresh bread and eggs from the chickens were deilicious as well as the sweets and snacks that were provided. The facilities are immaculate and very comfortable. Would return in a heart beat!
