Mulberry Villa

The Space
Mulberry at Franklin Vale Retreat is a serene, light-filled escape with a strong connection to its hillside setting. Interiors are calm and refined, with a warm, natural materials palette and framed views that bring the outdoors in.

Interior Design by Diane Bergeron
Mulberry’s interiors embrace a blue palette, designed by internationally renowned interior designer, Diane Bergeron, to reflect the outlook toward Mount Franklin and the big country sky. Upholstered pieces from Diane’s Arthur G. collection, paired with fabrics from her range, give the room a tailored yet inviting character. Handcrafted rugs, woven raffia wall coverings in the bedroom, and hardwood floors add depth and warmth, while curated artwork lends a distinct personality to the space.

Amenities
Mulberry includes a sumptuous bathroom with luxe amenities, a fully equipped kitchen, plush king bedding, and generous indoor–outdoor living areas.

The Garden
Mulberry takes its cue from the mulberry tree at the entrance, framed by seaside lavender, vibrant red kangaroo paw and neat English box hedges. Surrounding plantings include ornamental plums, graceful crepe myrtle and smoky bush, with sculpted spheres of westringia and lavender providing rhythm and texture. The private courtyard garden centres on a magnificent sengaku maple in a large pot, visible from the villa’s bathroom and living spaces, while direct views to Mount Franklin extend the sense of space and calm.
