About the host

Hosted by David

Host profile image
We are keen Equestrian and House renovators. We renovated the original Farmhouse/Cottage at Tudor Ridge back in 2009. It was the original house for the whole Jacksons Hill area of the Dandenong Ranges, and is one of the original houses in Kallista. However, it had been left to go into ruin. After 3 years of renovation and restoration, with a lot of personal toil and work, a cottage with a View at Tudor Ridge was finally ready for guests.

Why they chose this property

Great Views ...
A cottage with a view at Tudor Ridge stands on 32 acres of farm land encompassing some of the most magnificent views in Melbourne. Views are down the Mornington Peninsula to Cardinia Reservoir and the Bays. Relax on the recliner lounge while taking in panoramic views. Imagine lying in the main bed with a postcard view of the Peninsula during the day or night.

What makes this property unique

A cottage with a view at Tudor Ridge is a fully self contained stone farmhouse with two fireplaces. Two bedrooms with ensuite, one with Spa, also with kitchen and laundry. The farmhouse was built back in the early 1900s as one of the original houses in the Kallista area. It boasts some of Melbournes most magnificant views. Views are to Cardinia Dam, down the Mornington Peninsula and to the Bays. The second bedroom is locked off for 2 guests.
