Michael Pickering Visits Jackalope, the Boutique Property Redefining the Out-of-town Getaway.
Jackalope is the sort of bold concept that shows just how much Australia has grown up.
The transformation of a 143-year-old homestead and winery into a luxury boutique hotel experience with complimentary dining and wine experiences has already garnered Jackalope a 2017 Hotel Of The Year award from Gourmet Traveller, and after staying there for a night we’d imagine there are more awards ahead.
The entrepreneurial force behind Jackalope is Louis Li, not yet 30, who commented on receiving the GT award: “I think MONA [in Hobart] gave me the confidence that people would appreciate a daring, bold vision in this part of the world. Luxury should be defined by rarity.”
