Thorngrove once again celebrates nomination as a finalist in the HM annual Australian Awards. This is a major achievement for a small property. With an inherent consciousness to differentiate, Thorngrove’s architectural uniqueness provides a dynamic, exquisitely crafted environment in which guests respond, providing a journey beyond the destination. Rooms are creative, flexible, evolving and individual, inspired by the architectural tradition of the region. It is a unique multi-towered sculptural architectural form with an abundance of gables, spires and detailing, creating a mood of escapist fantasy and a timeless sense of history.
