The Church Retreat Whorouly - 1960's Church, Spacious & Peaceful Luxury

The Church Retreat is a unique holiday property experience! After a day exploring the region, you can return to the peace and quiet of the Retreat to wind down and relax while taking in the stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

The contemporary renovation has seen this former 1960's church turned into a spacious, and peaceful country retreat. The space has been completely transformed. For instance, the former altar is now a cooking and entertaining hub. This central hub overlooks the open living space that is cosy in winter, and light and airy in summer. The modern bathroom features a deep double bath that is the perfect place to unwind.
Set in a relaxed rural setting within a small, lovely community that embraces fresh local produce, great local wineries, and the convenience of Cellar doors just 10 minutes drive away.
Enjoy the surrounding historical towns of Beechworth, Myrtleford, and Bright, where you can laze the day away, exploring the markets, festivals, and beautiful eateries.
Whorouly is in the heart of the Ovens Valley in NE Victoria. It's a short drive off the Snow Road between Wangaratta and Myrtleford. Whorouly is a small township with a local country feel. You can walk to the nearby cafe for a coffee in the morning or enjoy a meal at the pub for lunch or dinner.
One thing is for sure, the Church Retreat is the ideal location to explore the region and all it has to offer!

Please note, that The Church Retreat has a wood heater, however, firewood is not provided but can be purchased at local service stations or local Foodworks.

Great location
Good property to stay at for visiting the gourmet region. Accommodation comfortable and roomy. Unfortunately we run out of gas when preparing the meal on the first night and there was no spanner to change over the bottles. The agent responded quickly and came around promptly to rectify the problem. Other than that we had a good relaxing stay.

We were so excited to stay in this old church. It looked great in the pictures but was even better than we anticipated. Cosy, comfortable and quiet. Thank you, will definitely be back again.

Vey dissapointing
No care or consideration for the comfort of the guest. EVERYTHING in the premises was supplied to the absolute minimum quantity and standard possible. The cheapest item was evident in every aspect, the market will decide if you can get away with it but i would never recommend or return

10/10 Excellent

Stunning property, quiet, clean, everything we needed
We would definately recommend The Church Retreat Whorouly. The property is a tranquil setting, a beautifully renovated church and gardens and stunning views from the rear deck to the surrounding countryside. Loved the high ceilings, big bath and the timber floors With the sports oval up the road it was perfect for the teenage kids too. A good distance to drive to Myrtleford and Beechworth. We are looking forward to returning again soon
