Six Senses will open its first Australian property at Burnham Beeches, a heritage mansion 40 kilometres from Melbourne, Australia.
The Six Senses Burnham Beeches, expected to welcome guests in 2025, will occupy what is said to be one of the finest examples of domestic Art Deco in Australia.
Six Senses Burnham Beeches will occupy an Art Deco mansion and offer guests access to a vibrant Village Square
The original three-story Art Deco Streamline Moderne mansion is reminiscent of an ocean liner. Named after the eponymous English forest, Burnham Beeches was added to the Victorian Heritage Register in 1991, and the extensive Alfred Nicolas Memorial Gardens are now managed by Parks Victoria.
The property will launch with an initial collection of 43 keys and various hospitality venues such as a welcome lounge and terrace, a restaurant with outdoor seating, a library bar, and a rooftop retreat encased by garden planters. Subject to planning applications, the masterplan will incorporate a premium and unique glamping offer to bring the total accommodation inventory to 82.
Six Senses Burnham Beeches will incorporate sprawling farm gardens from which its kitchens will obtain fruit and vegetables. The herb garden will produce healing and aromatic plants for use in Alchemy Bar workshops and Six Senses Spa treatments.
A tactile nature playground is planned as part of the Grow With Six Senses approach to connecting children with nature through play and interactive learning experiences.
Guests seeking regeneration can head to Six Senses Spa, which will sport a botanical environment.
Six Senses CEO Neil Jacobs said the property would be a regenerative project that would serve the community and the ecosystems that underpin the place.
“For Six Senses Burnham Beeches to be regenerative, it will not be a static place. We’ll evolve and respond to bring the rich heritage of Burnham Beeches to life, inviting moments of exploration, discovery, connection to nature, and delight through interactive gastronomy, wellness, and sustainability experiences,” said Jacobs.
Trenerry Consortium, owners of Burnham Beeches, has plans for a Village Square that will serve as the heart of the site, which gives hotel guests access to an additional collection of venues, such as The Hearth, The Barn, Steak House, The Baker, Brew House, and Providore.
Burnham Beeches, Sherbrooke, and Nicholas Gardens are connected by a series of walking trails that weave throughout the site. Guests will be able to explore the historical, ecological, cultural, and indigenous stories from Burnham Beeches and the Wurundjeri and Kulin nation lands, incorporated into the art, architecture, signage, and landscaping throughout the grounds.
