Butterland Enquire

Newstead, central Victoria

A restored butter factory, and the whole place to yourselves.

No strangers, no queue, nobody else booked in alongside you. A wood-fired sauna, a cold plunge, a cedar bath and the gardens, an hour and a half from Melbourne. Tell us what you've got in mind and we'll come back the same day.

Private hire, in the proper sense

Most places sell you a session alongside everyone else's. Here you get the sauna, the plunge, the bath and the gardens with nobody else in them, which is why it works as well for a wedding as it does for two people on a Sunday.

What people book it for

Weddings

Ceremony and reception in and around the old factory, with the gardens and the grandmother tree. Held to a handful a year, so the place stays yours rather than turning over.

The bathhouse

Sauna, plunge and cedar bath, booked as private hire for one group at a time. Friday through Sunday, with Tuesday evenings for locals.

Workshops and retreats

Making workshops, yoga, team days and long lunches, catered or self-run, with the sauna as the thing that makes people stay.

Shoots and film

Photographers and crews use the factory, the gardens and the light. Day rates, and we can keep the place clear.

Tell us what you're thinking

Rough answers are fine, dates included. You'll get the details and current availability back straight away, and a call from us after that if you'd like one.

We'll reply the same day. Your details stay with Butterland.
