in the centre of Eastern Styria, in the “Garden of Austria”
with countless excursion destinations for your voyages of discovery.
Arrive. Stay. Enjoy hospitality & recharge your batteries.
Feel the warmth. Live strengthened. Come back again.
Garden & Nature
Feel the "garden" theme in all facets of the house.
Here is a place that fulfils the longing for intensive contact with nature with lush greenery, living water and extraordinary plant diversity on over 2,500 m² – with many open spaces and retreats for relaxation. In the Power Garden , the koi pond is a hive of activity, the lotus flowers spread their leaves, the flock of birds sings – all of this is best observed from the meditation area or you can recharge your batteries in the garden bays.
Cosy spots around the natural swimming pond, comfortable loungers over the water and relaxing in the floating loungers – in the thatched pavilion – your favourite spot awaits on the natural wooden terrace by the pond. Guests can also nibble from the trees in our own natural orchard covering over 4,500m² during harvest time – we produce our own apple juice from the rest.
The new project with old, already forgotten varieties of fruit was very well received and won an award – our valuable Styrian fruit thrives naturally here.
Living, sleeping
Wake up with nature
The 63 multifaceted feel-good rooms are individually furnished in a modern country house style with Mediterranean accents and many wooden elements. Many regular guests book the garden rooms with their own furnished roof terrace and views of the power garden. The nature rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and wooden floors are surrounded by nature between the power garden and orchard – some of them with a balcony or spacious terrace with direct access to the greenery.

Restaurant & Cuisine
Not just organic, but everything fair, honest and genuine!
In our kitchen workshop, we mainly use the best products and ingredients from farmers in the surrounding area. Here in Eastern Styria, the “garden” of Austria, we grow everything we need to savour – harvested right on our doorstep. The regional and seasonal cuisine and the results of our fast service team have been honoured with 2 Falstaff Forks.
The enterprising head chef, Johann Unger, is also a tinkerer and enjoys combining different flavour components – he has created the in-house delicatessen range “STEIERNESS Selection” – chutneys, spreads, pickles and jams, prepared entirely naturally without artificial additives, filled in jars and beautifully packaged in decorative boxes.
Small moments, big memories
And the culinary theme weeks and gourmet dates are best savoured on the tongue! You can read about them in the annual event calendar.
RestoBar DIE GÄRTNEREI
The latest location in the garden hotel in a chic style with an impressive material look!
Elements made of corten steel provide a touch of industrial look, glass fronts from floor to ceiling convey simplicity and sophistication, natural stone walls and unfinished larch wood floors lend the mediterranean atmosphere and an abundance of details, combined with enchanting floral decoration and green plants make the garden theme tangible.
Touching the soul and palate
With the restobar “Die Gärtnerei”, we have created a meeting place, a combination of restaurant, bar and shop and a welcome alternative to the existing restaurant. Here, our guests can enjoy modern cuisine, trendy mixed drinks and the best wines from our well-stocked cellar – surrounded by unique handmade pieces by regional artists.
