Holiday house, Bed & Breakfast, Guest house

Casa Luna is a purpose-built architect-designed accommodation house in a modern Australian style, set on a hill overlooking a beautiful intimate valley.

Stylishly decorated Queen suites with every comfort provided - pure cotton sheets, fluffy towels, waffle-weave bathrobes, LCD TV, DVD player with eclectic library of DVDs, plunger coffee and Twinings tea, Alpine spring water, crisp almond bread. The stunning new King Suites have private balconies, flat screen TV/DVDs, IPod docks, pure cotton linen,European amenities, plus all the usual facilities.

In a separate wing, just across the patio, is the guest lounge/dining room for reading, playing cards or chess, relaxing by the open fire. Breakfast is served here, or on the patio if you prefer. Food is a highlight at Casa Luna, with wine-matched dinners a specialty, or Tuscan-style roasts and pizzas in La Piazza, the outdoor kitchen, featuring wood-fired oven and grill. Local produce is featured, and the style of food served reflects our love of Italy and commitment to the Slow Food movement. The Italians say "At table you never grow old". Locally roasted espresso coffee and produce, as well as local King Valley wines are showcased. Service is attentive and friendly, but unobtrusive.

The cellar door experience in the King Valley is unique and intimate - you will meet the families who grow the grapes and make the wine. Many of them are Italian, and they specialise in Italian varieties. The area is rich with good restaurants, some featuring Italian food, and all cooking with local produce, such as Welsh Black beef, saltbush lamb, free range pork, olives and olive oil, etc. Activities other than food and wine include walks, playing petanque, bike riding, motor cycling, touring, Ned Kelly site tours, snow skiing, white water rafting, etc.

Festivals - La Dolce Vita festival in November, Weekend Fit for a King in June, The Shed Show in October (where the public vote for their favourite King Valley wine), Wangaratta Jazz Festival in Oct/Nov.

Locality

Casa Luna is located in the exciting, uniquely diverse King Valley wine region. This region features Italian varietals, as well as the usual Australian varieties. Brown Brothers Winery in the lower King Valley have been innovators and leaders in the establishment of this region. The upper King is home to many cellar doors, such as Pizzini Wines, Dalzotto, Chrismont, Politini, to name a few.

The cellar door experience in this region is special and personal - the staff are mostly family, and the wine maker is invariably nearby.

The Milawa Gourmet region is 15 minutes away. Sample cheeses from The Milawa Cheese Factory, as well as local oils at the Milawa Olive Shop. Try Milawa Mustards, and olives and oils at EV Olives. Other local products available are apples and juices, nuts, smallgoods, jams and chutneys, chocolates and icecream.

Property

Casa Luna Gourmet Accommodation was nominated as a finalist in The Australian Travel and Tourism Awards in 2006, in the Hosted Accommodation catergory. This is a huge honour for a relatively new establishment, and we are very proud of such an achievement. We were also awarded a Federal Govt grant to assist in the development of the La Piazza project and new King Suites. This indicates further recognition of Casa Luna as a quality product.
We aim to provide a relaxing, comfortable and delicious experience for guests, and offer warm, personalised service.
