We created Franklin Vale as a place for people to pause — to reconnect with themselves or with someone special, to feel joy, calm and restfulness. My hope is that everyone who stays here leaves feeling a little happier, lighter and more at ease than when they arrived.

As a researcher with a background in applied positive psychology, I’ve long been interested in how our surroundings shape our wellbeing. Franklin Vale grew from that belief — that the spaces we inhabit can nurture inner peace and help us flourish.

Every element here was designed to evoke a sense of awe and tranquillity: the expansive valley views from a high vantage point, the seamless connection between the architecture and the landscape, the warm homely feel, the soft layered colours and textures of the interiors, the plush furnishings that invite stillness, and the ever-changing palette and sounds of the seasons.

Franklin Vale is a place where time seems to slow — where beauty, simplicity and nature come together to restore and inspire. It has been our experience that time spent here brings peace, clarity and enrichment of the soul, and we’re delighted to share that with others.

We invite you to come, take time out and rediscover what it feels like to truly flourish.
