About this property

Boardwalk Cottages Mt Martha - Cottage 1

Nestled amongst trees on our 5-acre property, eat breakfast on the deck and enjoy listening to the birds. Overlooking our family vineyard, dam and the Balcombe Creek Nature reserve, our studio style cottages are self-contained and well equipped for short or longer stays. With a queen and double bed, they accommodate up to four people. The two cottages are well away from our main residence, and we leave you to enjoy your privacy throughout your stay.

At our very doorstep is the Balcombe Creek Boardwalk. Take a stroll to the heart of Mount Martha Village and beach or to the historic Briars Park and Homestead. By car, you are close to the attractions of the Mornington Peninsula. Enjoy some of the regions finest wineries & restaurants, visit markets, play golf, ride the Eagle Gondola at Arthur's Seat, soak in the Peninsula Hot Springs, pick fresh Strawberries (in season) or challenge the kids in the mazes or tree surfing.

The cottage has everything you could need. It is in a prime location to access Mornington, Mount Martha and the Briars. Well worth a visit to this beautiful spot. I highly recommend a stay at Boardwalk Cottages.

Perfect spot for little family

We had a great 4 night stay at the cottages. Julie was a helpful host and it was perfect being right next to the stroller friendly boardwalk into Mt Martha village. Our cottage was comfortable and well appointed - the view from the verandah was a real highlight.

Wonderful quiet stay

The accommodation is wonderful. The surrounds are very quiet and the cottage is equipped with everything you might need. The property is very well maintained and in addition to the usual linen and towels provided, the owner also provides extra towels and blankets (which were useful for the few days when the temperature dropped). The only draw back would be that the property is not as close to the beach as we would have liked, but we had a terrific stay.

First class

We stay on average at 1 B&B a year and Boardwalk Cottages by far the best we have ever stayed at. The accommodation was immaculate. The provisions provided and the service from the owners was better than any than anything we have experienced before. 10/10 We will be back.

Peaceful

This was a perfect place for me, surrounded by majestic trees and beautifully maintained gardens. The cottage was comfy and immaculate. The fridge was stocked with breakfast supplies. It was lovely to find a large basket of fruit and a fresh loaf of bread on the bench. I loved my stay. Thank you Julie and Andy

Cosy and clean

Normally, I spend the first three hours of any holiday cleaning the place before I even feel comfortable to sit down. Not here! Julie's cottage is spotless, even under the kitchen sink, even the bins! It's also super tidy, what with all the labels and friendly messages around the house, not to mention the quaint interior and calming environment. Just wonderful!

An excellent stay

We stayed at the Boardwalk Cottages for 4 days over Christmas. This was a wonderful stay! The accommodation was clean, comfortable (with aircon and fans in the heat), and well stocked. We also really appreciated the small details that made it more welcoming including chilled drinks in the fridge and a very generous pantry/snacks/fresh fruit selection on arrival. The property itself is lovely as well with expansive grounds, and was large enough to give us privacy, with the owners were easily contactable if needed. The location was also convenient for exploring the peninsula.

Perfect Stay

Loved the position, secluded in a forest like area. Beautiful trees, birds aplenty, resident skink. Sitting on the raised deck, early morning sun, percolated coffee in hand, silence- just salvation of the soul. Would have loved to have had the time to spend many more days here.

A hidden gem!

Julie is the ultimate host and has such an attention to detail. She supplied the basics for breakfast with a partially stocked pantry. That was extremely thoughtful. Cosy cabin feel, birds chirping, and just enough bush surroundings to feel remote. Really great mix of country and beach for a serene getaway.

Return visit

We enjoyed Julie's cottage so much on a weekend visit last year that we came back for a week's stay. It was just perfect. The cottage is in a beautiful location, close to everything but feels a world away from it all. It is very well maintained, and Julie and her family are very responsive to any requests. Again, we'll be back!

What makes this property unique

Whilst close to Mt Martha Village with its iconic beach box lined beach, you will feel as though you are miles away from everything.
