Sorry, no wedding or party requests or wedding eve/night bookings please.

The barn is located on one of the quietest roads in Red Hill. Situated on a rural property, your nearest neighbours are a small herd of cows on one side, horses on the other. Birdlife abounds on the property's dam. You won't hear traffic noise and can wake to birdsong. The views of rolling hills are spectacular.

You are welcome to roam the barn paddock which incorporates the olive grove, vines and picturesque dam. As this is a working farm with operating machinery and cattle, please stay within the expansive barn paddock and leave any gates as you find them (open or closed).

Restaurants, wineries and food stores are within a short drive. Port Phillip Bay and Westernport Bay are equal distances away. A number of beaches are no more than 15 minutes drive.
Our favourite restaurant, Polperro, is just around the corner. Foxy's Hangout, another favourite, is perfect for lunch (and where our grapes get made into wine). Get great coffee and gourmet food at Red Hill Cellar and Pantry - the area's loveliest supermarket in Red Hill South. Visit Johnny Ripe for the best apple pies ever.

Guests are required to provide their own towels and bedlinen (top and bottom sheets and pillowcases for a king bed and four singles).

About the host

Host profile image
We love our little slice of rural paradise in Red Hill and are happy to welcome you to experience it. I worked for many years in hospitality in my earlier career, including in five star hotels. My later career has been in fashion design and interiors. In more recent years we've had some amazing experiences in HomeAway/Stayz properties around the world with our four children.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property instantly and feel so lucky to be part of the Mornington Peninsula. Red Hill is a fabulously central location to experience all that the Peninsula has to offer.

What makes this property unique

There aren't many parts of the Peninsula where you can escape traffic noise. Our quiet country road is one of the few. The rural views are stunning. The feedback we get again and again is that our barn is better than described in the listing.
