The valley of vines
Less than an hour from the city of Melbourne in Australia, the Yarra Valley is known for its rolling hills, charming vineyards and enchanting small towns.
Giselle Whiteaker ventures into the Victorian vines.
Above: A view across the vines towards Re’em
Lifting the glass to my mouth, I take a sip of the Re’em Blanc de Blanc Sparkling and let the bubbles roll across my tongue. Gazing through the floorto-ceiling windows at the rows of vines beyond the ornamental lake, I breathe a sigh of contentment. This is how the end of every week should be celebrated – with a wine tasting and a spectacular view.
The Yarra Valley, in the southern Australian state of Victoria, is one of the world’s leading cold-climate winegrowing regions. Vines were first planted here in 1838 and now more than 80 vineyards punctuate the valley, rows of vines stretching in neat lines across the rolling hills, covering a whopping 2,837 hectares. Two hundred acres of this is taken up by the award-winning Helen & Joey Estate, where Re’em Yarra Valley, a new restaurant and hotel endeavour, has recently launched. Like the unicorn that graces the Helen & Joey wine labels, Re’em is already proving to be magical. And that’s not just the wine talking.
I savour my way through a series of whites and reds from Helen & Joey’s Unicorn, Wayward Child and Re’em labels. The Unicorn wines are unpretentious, easy-drinking, vibrant drops, while the Wayward Child wines are lowintervention, allowed to go their own way, somewhat untamed; they are small-batch, leaning towards boldness, and rather delectable. Re’em represents the more refined
wines, those crafted from carefully selected ferments and barrels. They embody the story of the land. My palate duly wine-sated, I move to the restaurant, taking a seat at a booth by the window.
Tonight I am feasting on the three-course set menu –which is really a four-course menu, as it includes ‘snacks’ – curated by consultant executive chef Mark Ebbels and brought to life by head chef Abe Yang. Ebbels honed his skills in establishments including the development kitchen at The Fat Duck in Bray and Bacchanalia in Singapore. He’s come full circle, returning from whence he came: the Yarra Valley.
Along with exemplifying Ebbels’ and Yang’s culinary skills, the restaurant offers a menu that honours Helen and Joey’s Chinese heritage, with premium seasonal Australian produce as its cornerstone. Dishes include glazed pork rib with pickled fennel and dill; handmade dumplings with shiitake mushroom and chilli oil; chargrilled octopus with confit turnip and gochujang mayonnaise; and glazed beef rib with garlic shoots, capsicum and green mizuna. Dessert is equally intriguing, including a tasty combination of honeycake, pistachio, brown rice, malt ice cream and lees, a byproduct of the winemaking process. Ebbels is soon to travel to China, to take further inspiration from the traditional dishes found
Clockwise from top left: The new bar area; award-winning wines in the barrel room; the spacious restaurant with vineyard views; Chinesemeets-Australian flavours in the kitchen.
in Helen and Joey’s home towns so, much like the wines, the cuisine on offer will continue to evolve.
Pleasantly full, I retire to my room, one of only 16, passing the indoor koi pond and fern garden. The generously proportioned rooms feature freestanding baths, balconies overlooking the vineyard, colours – and carpets – that reflect the hues of the land, and large, immensely comfortable beds that guarantee a good night’s sleep.
I’m awake at 4am, scrabbling in the dark for clothes, which I layer on before reluctantly slipping out of the hotel into the night. I drive to nearby Balgownie Estate, where I meet the crew from Global Ballooning Australia. Guests are directed to a minibus and we sleepily make our way to a field in the middle of nowhere, where patches of fog drift along the grass. We break into groups and help the crews tip the large wicker baskets sideways so the balloons can be attached. Portable fans are switched on to push air into the balloons, which gradually take shape. A few blasts of hot air and they start to rise, pulling the baskets upright.
After a safety briefing, our balloon-load of passengers are directed to climb in – all 19 of us. With a few more blasts of hot air, we begin to lazily drift upwards. Ours is the first balloon to take to the air, and we glide solo over farms and fields, acres of lush green, wisps of fog hiding in the undulations.
Dawn is breaking as we ascend, drifting ever higher, until we pop through the blanket of clouds. The sounds of morning are masked here and we fall silent, awed by the sight of the sun glimmering on the horizon at the edge of the cloud cover. We are alone, standing in a picnic basket, held in place by nothing but air. It feels impossible, another instance of magic.
As the other balloons drift through the clouds, we start descending, flowing with the air currents. We float over farms and fields, hills and lakes, and then we are back in wine country. I’m thrilled when we pass over the Helen & Joey Estate, Re’em clearly distinguishable from the air. This is the closest you can come to being a bird in flight.
As we prepare to land, we spot three kangaroos bouncing along the rows of grape vines, their morning grazing disturbed by our presence. We descend lower, aiming for a livestock-free paddock. A few feet above the ground, we assume the landing position, knees bent, feet pushing against the side of the basket, backs pressed into the opposing padded basket wall. We come in fast, touching down with a gentle bounce and, as we settle, gravity exerts its hold, tipping the basket sideways as if in slow motion. We are left giggling as we take it in turns to wriggle our way out of the basket onto the dewsoaked grass.
Back at Re’em, I meet with Helen Xu of Helen & Joey for a tour of the winemaking facilities. Helen is a dynamo, clearly a force to be reckoned with. With a background in scientific research, she has that kind of mind where she questions everything, in pursuit of an optimal outcome. Whether it’s the wine barrels, the landscaping design, the fermentation facility, sustainable initiatives, or any other aspect of the vineyard and Re’em, Helen has a hand in it – and a deft hand at that. It’s clear she has a vision for the property that is gradually being realised.
Before I depart to explore the farm gates and villages in the area, I take a stroll across the estate. I make my way up the gently sloping hill on the far side of the vineyard, pausing at the old cellar door to drink in the views. In four months or so, the vines that stretch before me will be laden with fruit, ready for picking, and new vintages will be born to contribute to the Re’em Yarra Valley legacy. I’ll have to return to raise a glass to that. n
Set in the heart of Victoria’s renowned wine country, Re’em Yarra Valley (Re’em) is a new hospitality and hotel offering from contemporary winery Helen & Joey Estate. Since opening in 2010, Helen & Joey Estate has garnered international and national accreditation for its premium grape varietals including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Shiraz, and dedication to innovation and sustainable practices. www.helenandjoeyestate.com.au

Adding colour and texture
Adding colour and texture into your home is one of the most effective ways to breathe new life into your interiors. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to refresh your current décor, here are our tips for creating a dynamic, balanced and visually interesting environment.
Start with a colour palette
Before diving into textures, establish a cohesive colour palette in your home – this will make it easier to add layers of texture that harmonise with your chosen hues. Your base colour is the backdrop for your room; neutral colours like white, beige, grey or light pastels work well to create a calming environment. Use a pop of colour in items like cushions, artwork, vases, wall art, throws or small furniture pieces. Introducing reds, oranges and yellows will energise the room whereas blues, greens and purples have a calming, refreshing effect. To prevent the space from feeling too ‘flat’, introduce warmth through copper light fixtures or wooden furniture.
Layer textures for depth
While colour grabs attention, texture gives a room character, making it feel cosy and lived in. To create visual and tactile interest, layer textures throughout your space. Soft furnishings, such as pillows, throws and cushions, are easy ways to include different textures and they offer a blend of comfort and style. Mixing materials like wool, linen and velvet can instantly change the feel of a room. For instance, placing a faux fur throw on a leather chair or a chunky knit blanket on a linen couch adds warmth. Don’t be afraid to mix patterns and prints, such as stripes with florals or geometric designs to add an extra layer of interest. Rugs are also an easy way to introduce texture underfoot; choose natural fibres like jute, sisal or wool for a cosy, tactile feel.
Use wall treatments to add character
If you’re not ready to commit to a full room of colour, start with an accent wall. Choose one wall to feature a bold or contrasting shade that complements the room’s overall palette. Accent walls can also be a great way to
experiment with textures – adding texture to your walls with patterned or textured wallpaper creates depth and drama. Try wallpaper with raised patterns and faux finishes like brick or wood.
Bring nature indoors
Introducing natural elements into your home is a wonderful way to add texture, and also a calming influence. Large plants like monstera, fiddle-leaf figs or palms add height, dimension and lush greenery. Their glossy leaves introduce a smoothness that contrasts beautifully with rougher materials like wood or stone. If you prefer smaller plants, succulents and cacti offer interesting shapes and textures. Natural materials, such as wood and stone, bring warmth and an organic feel. The grain, knots and natural imperfections in wood add visual and tactile interest, giving your home an earthy, welcoming feel.
Play with lighting for extra texture
Lighting doesn’t just illuminate a room, it can also enhance the colour and texture of the space by adding depth and warmth. Consider a chandelier with a textured shade or pendant lights with woven or metal designs. Lampshades made of fabric, wicker or textured paper introduce a softer glow. For accent lighting, use spotlights, wall sconces or string lights to highlight textured areas of your room, such as brick walls, artwork or plants. These lights help create shadows and depth, enhancing the room’s overall look. Sculptural lights, like geometric or abstract shapes, introduce a bold texture that draws the eye upward.
Remember, there is no right or wrong way to design your space. Let your personality shine through, experiment with different combinations, and have fun in the process.n

The growing appeal of golfing real estate
New research reveals that golf resort real estate is benefitting from younger, more decisive buyers. Sophie Green discovers further interesting facts about the allure of golfing properties.
Buyers of golf resort real estate are younger and acting more decisively, according to new research, with results based on a sample of nine golf resorts and the completed sale transactions of 138 plots, villas, townhouses and apartments during 2023. But that’s not the only information brought to light by the latest study conducted by European Tour Destinations and explained in a new multimedia feature called ‘A Changing Landscape: Golf Real Estate in 2024’. This new cohort of buyers is also prepared to pay on average 19% more to live on a European Tour Destinations golf resort than on a golf resort not within the network, yet located close by, with a further average premium of 16.5% for a view of the course.
The Covid effect
People realised during the pandemic that residential golf estates offer far more than simply green fairways –they are lifestyle hubs, packed with amenities, with some being entire communities with restaurants, shops and spa facilities.
“Many resorts, keen to capitalise on the increased interest, further improved their offering, upgrading, renovating and broadening their amenities to capture the attention of an even wider audience,” says Sandra Ruttle, European Tour Destinations’ real estate consultant. “Their agile response to adapt to changing expectations and emerging trends served them well.”
Valuable real estate
The appeal of the golf resort lifestyle is clear. A study by European Tour Destinations in 2018 showed properties on a golf resort were worth on average 19% more than equivalent homes outside the gates. This figure remains
Above: Villa in Sea Dunes, Costa Navarino, Greece
Top and above: Chalet at Pirin Golf & Country Club, Bulgaria; Quinta do Lago South course, Portugal
the same today, with some resorts punching well above the average – for Camiral Golf & Wellness and Quinta do Lago, this figure is as much as 30%.
What has changed is the premium for properties with a view of the golf course. That has risen to 16.1% from 9.5%, showing that a view has high value. At Quinta do Lago, a spectacular golf resort located on Portugal’s Algarve, properties with a golf course view are worth between 25% and 30% more than those without, and at both Camiral Golf & Wellness in Spain and Estonian Golf & Country Club, a course view means 20-25% higher value.
Having on-site golf was in buyers’ top two desired amenities among 67% of the respondents, so it’s definitely golf enthusiasts making up the majority of buyers – and it’s clear that purchasers are happy to pay more to be closer to the fairways, perhaps because more owners are golfers. On average, property owners are more likely to play golf now than in 2018, with 49% versus 33%. Of course, this varies from resort to resort, with 100% golf-playing buyers at Linna Golf in Finland, versus just 10% at Jumeirah Golf Estates in the United Arab Emirates.
A younger audience making faster decisions
Eight out of nine resorts in the study reported that buyers are either the same age or younger than before, with the average being just over 52. It seems owning a property in a golf community is no longer only for those in or approaching retirement.
The market is also moving at pace in many resorts. It takes only one or two visits before a buyer purchases
a golf property at 89% of the resorts surveyed, with an average of 12 weeks between an initial enquiry and the sale completion. At Bom Sucesso in Portugal and Pirin Golf & Country Club in Bulgaria, sales are even more rapid – on average within four weeks.
International versus domestic It’s not just age that’s different in 2024. In 2018, 84% of properties sold were to international buyers. Today, that
From top down: Ginesta 3 villa at Camiral Golf & Wellness, Spain; apartments at Linna Golf, Finland; Pirin Golf & Country Club, Bulgaria
number has nearly halved, down to 46%, again with noticeable variation depending on the resort.
Camiral Golf & Wellness in Spain and Quinta do Lago in Portugal reported just 15% and 8% of their respective sales were to domestic buyers. At the other end of the
scale, the figure was 90-100% for Linna Golf, Estonian Golf & Country Club and Jumeirah Golf Estates.
This can be attributed to locals moving out of cities in search of green open spaces, as well as more people returning to their native country and buying or investing in golf property.
Sustainable and green Green technology and environmentally friendly practices continue to influence buyer behaviour, with 89% of resorts saying it is important to purchasers.
“Our buyers are very happy to hear that we exclusively use heat pumps in new constructions, complemented by solar power. None of the new properties depend on gas any more, and barely any need an electricity supply. Buyers are also very happy with the fact we use recycled water for the golf courses and native, drought-resistant grass to reduce water consumption. “The resort has also substantially increased the number of charging points for electric cars,” says Janina Aust, Real Estate Sales Manager at Camiral Golf & Wellness.
“The results of the survey are extremely heartening,” concludes Sandra Ruttle. “They confirm there is a thriving and evolving golf property market, buoyed by post-pandemic lifestyle shifts, ongoing demand for green spaces and a greater appreciation of nature and wellbeing.” n

A maze at the manor
A manor, a guest lodge, a maze and a three-bedroom apartment are all part of Sunningdale Manor, situated in the serene St Saviour countryside in Jersey. Michaela Black explores this stunning property.
Nestled in the heart of the countryside in Jersey, Sunningdale Manor stands as a stunning example of Victorian architectural beauty. Set against a backdrop of acres of meticulously maintained gardens, grounds and agricultural land, this fully restored estate offers the perfect blend of historical charm and modern luxury. Its combination of timeless elegance and state-of-the-art amenities makes for an exceptional living experience.
As you approach the property, the grandeur of the manor becomes apparent. The stately gated driveway, flanked by lush greenery, gives way to the imposing façade of this 12,000-square-foot residence. The architectural details are striking, reflecting the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into restoring this historic masterpiece. From the moment you arrive, it is clear that every element of this home has been carefully curated to create a space that is both luxurious and inviting.
The main house boasts an expansive 53-foot family living and kitchen area, the heart of the home, where modern luxury meets traditional design. This vast space, fitted with high-quality materials and appliances, exemplifies the balance of form and function. Whether it’s the highend kitchen fittings or the French doors that open on three sides to a sweeping terrace, every detail has been carefully considered to ensure practicality and appeal.
The terrace, with its Haddonstone balustrade, is perfect for entertaining, offering a panoramic view of the estate’s magnificent grounds. This seamless connection between
indoor and outdoor living enhances the home’s ambiance, allowing the beauty of the surrounding landscape to be appreciated from every angle.
The ground floor also features two elegant reception rooms, perfect for formal entertaining or intimate gatherings. At the lower ground level, there is an open study and a wine-tasting area that stands as the centrepiece of this floor, adjacent to an air-conditioned wine cellar that will impress any connoisseur. This area can be used for quiet contemplation or lively conversation over a glass of fine wine.
Adding to the lower level’s appeal is a fully equipped catering kitchen, fitted with top-of-the-line appliances, making it ideal for hosting large events or family gatherings. The
air-conditioned gym provides plenty of space for fitness enthusiasts, while the laundry room and the office, with direct access to an outdoor BBQ courtyard, demonstrate the thoughtfulness that has gone into the property’s design.
Moving upstairs, the first floor of Sunningdale Manor continues to impress. The principal suite is a true retreat, complete with a bespoke dressing room, an en suite bathroom and access to a spacious private terrace. This outdoor space offers breathtaking views of the surrounding gardens, making it the perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening of relaxation. The first floor also includes two additional bedroom suites, each generously proportioned and featuring modern en suite facilities. A fourth double bedroom and a separate shower room complete this level.
For those looking for additional space, the loft offers a versatile solution. Accessible via a staircase, this expansive area serves as a practical storage option but also holds the potential for further development. The loft’s generous dimensions provide endless possibilities, whether it’s transforming the space into additional bedrooms or creating a recreational area.
The impeccable design and finish extends to the ancillary space on site. Beyond the main house, there is separate accommodation in the form of a one-bedroom guest lodge and a three-bedroom apartment. This additional living space is perfect for extended family, guests, or as a rental opportunity, adding to the property’s flexibility and appeal. One of the estate’s most enchanting features is the
beautifully designed grounds. A maze, perfect for leisurely strolls, adds a touch of whimsy to the formal gardens, while a sustainable home farm area reflects the property’s commitment to modern environmental practices. Whether you’re exploring the manicured lawns, walking through the gardens or tending to the home farm, the outdoors here is just as impressive as the interiors.
In terms of practicalities, Sunningdale Manor offers ample garaging and parking facilities, as well as two separate driveway approaches, ensuring easy access and plenty of space for residents and guests.
The perfect blend of historical charm and modern luxury, this Victorian estate offers a unique opportunity to live in a space that is as functional as it is beautiful. Whether you are drawn to its architectural grandeur, its luxurious amenities or its stunning grounds, Sunningdale Manor is a property that captures the imagination and offers an unparalleled living experience in the heart of the countryside. n

Arabian nights
Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai is a contemporary interpretation of an Arabian village, sitting on a mile-long private beach between the Palm Jumeirah and the iconic Burj Al Arab. It includes a souq-style marketplace, palm-fringed waterways and sand-hued villas with distinctive wind towers. Nestled within this complex, Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf is an oasis unto itself. Inspired by traditional Arabian summer houses, the hotel comprises accommodation that ranges from enchanting rooms and suites to generously proportioned villas and a Beach House, with space for up to 30 adults.
The exclusive summer houses are the highlight. Created by architect and interior designer Sahar Al Yaseer, the interiors blend elegance with sustainability, using natural fabrics and upcycled materials to deliver elegant surrounds. Behind the heavy wooden front door, expect a high-ceilinged entrance hall, with wrought-iron window details and a cushion-scattered sitting room, lit by ornate metal lamps. Each house features a majlis – a cosy meeting place and the site for complimentary evening aperitifs with your neighbours.
The villas are accessed by abra boats that chug gently along the waterways, or golf buggies, and each is served by a butler. All of the villas have access to a private pool, plus the resort facilities. The Talise Spa is one of Dubai’s largest with an extensive range of treatments on offer, a private outdoor swimming pool, an icy plunge pool, steam rooms and a sauna.
Across the Madinat Jumeirah complex, there are around 50 dining options and bars to choose from, representing a dazzling array of cuisines – from Michelin-listed French Riviera to Pierchic, on a private pier that stretches into the ocean, or Arboretum, with an international menu inspired by nature.
Sit back, relax and find peace at the Arabian oasis that is Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf.
