This property was an absolute dream of relaxation amongst the stunning lake & vines. We realized when we arrived that we actually didn’t want to leave the accommodation & instead wanted to soak in the peaceful lake views. This accom would be beautiful all year around.

Gorgeous little villas on the vineyard. Easy access to all of the splendours of the Mornington Peninsula. Accommodation has everything you could need. Easy booking process and thoughtful host, who provides local insights to help you get the best out of the area. Highly recommended.

Villa in rural setting with lake and vineyard.

A very pleasant stay with good amenities. However, as a seasoned worldwide traveler, it did not represent value for money. Overpriced.

peaceful, relaxing

Comfortable and relaxing right on the water with the ducks. Ideal to get away from everything and enjoy a wine on the deck. As there are only 3 villas and they are quite spacious, it was very calming.
