Stylish Garden Oasis

Welcoming weekend oasis, surrounded by flowers, fruit trees and vegetable gardens. The perfect eco stay with stylish interior. Cook a meal with fresh herbs from the garden. Pick up a bottle of excellent wine at the shop just down the road.

You will be close to beaches, mountains, a canyon and a country park. The Diamond Harbour Eatery and Bar is open daily 9am to 6pm, Thurs, Fri, Sat open 9am to late. The small supermarket "Four Square" is only 2 minutes walk away (open daily 7am to 7pm). Orton Bradley Park (5km away) offers extensive walking and biking tracks. Orton Bradley Park also has a wonderful garden cafe (open Wednesdays to Sundays - during summer only).

There are at least two beaches within walking distance. There are also several multi-day walks nearby on the Banks Peninsula, including the Packhorse Hut and the Rod Donald Hut. You can walk up Mount Herbert, the largest mountain on the Banks Peninsula (approx. 6 hours round-trip) or local, shorter walks, like the cliff track walk with spectacular views.

Just What Was Needed
A great get-away place to stay. Wonderful house and gardens to sit back and relax in. Perfect spot to go for walks and wander to the beaches. Supermarket, fish and chip shop and bar within a 5 minute walk which is all bases covered. Great host with great communication. Would recommend to others needed a relaxing break.

Warm, cosy & stylish!
A warm & comfortable property. Light & sunny and great to have a cosy fire in winter. I loved the art on the walls and amazing vegetable garden. Also the outside patio to watch the sunset with a drink in the evening! A relaxing atmosphere was created with thoughtful styling & accessories. Such a lovely retreat!

A character filled cottage with a lovely peaceful garden setting. Stunning artworks on the walls.
Super comfy bed. (Be sure to read the small print... We didn't and found no internet or television was the only downside.) Overall an awesome stay. Highly recommended.
