NEW - outdoor shower with a view. Nothing better than a hot shower in nature, whether its straight from the beach or even in the wintertime, this is one magical shower.
The kitchen is large and well equipped with an Ilve stove and cook top, KitchenAid saucepans and frypans and Nespresso machine and coffee pods for your use. Drenched in early morning sunlight, enjoy the large breakfast table and bench seats that can hold all guests. Quality serving platters and bowls make entertaining easy. Toasted sandwich machine, hand blender, all the BBQ accessories you will need and sharp knives make this an easy kitchen to work in.
Outside you will find a huge deck with comfy couches, two large impressive umbrellas and an outdoor table that can seat ten. Look up and find our frequent visitor, a koala, in the trees around the house. There are also plenty of outdoor games on offer; skittles, boules, quoits and a giant game of pick up sticks!
The gardens, over 1 acre, is abundant with birds and native plants- and often an echidna. With plenty of lawn for children to run and play, cows in the paddock and wildlife (hence the no dogs policy), Waratah Hills Homestead has it all for you to enjoy your stay.
Just 15 minutes to your choice of stunning beaches: Sandy Point, Waratah Bay, Walkerville or Shallow Inlet and 15 minutes to the gates of Wilsons Promontory and all it has to offer. A short drive to Fish Creek and its cafes and art establishments, Foster and its wonderful Market, cool climate wineries (Waratah Hills within 5 minute drive), Agnes Falls, Koonwarra and Stony Creek Go Karts make this a perfect destination for whatever your preferred pursuit on your next holiday.
Included in the rate is all linen and cleaning supplies, unlimited Wifi plus extras; towels, hand towels, tea towels, bath mats, sheets, pillows, pillow slips, doonas, dishwashing detergent, clothes washing detergent and lots of little things that might make your stay easier if you are entertaining (eg.

And finally, to keep the costs down, we just ask that you wash your dishes and put them away, take your rubbish out to the bins and leave the house tidy. We love it when you treat our house like it's your house!

We had a wonderful weekend here with some friends. The facilities were absolutely fabulous and we loved being able to hike at the Prom and come back to a hot meal and a warm fire. We'll be back again for sure!
The property was very comfortable, well equipped and had a nice atmosphere. The out door area ,garden and views are fabulous. The leadlight windows are amazing.
Had a wonderful time at this property. The house had so much character, the fire place made it warm and cozy. Perfect place to spend a weekend with friends.
we had a lovely time at this property with family who are visiting from overseas. The house is superspacious and really well set up with anything you may need thought of. The boys loved the outdoor shower
Beautifully located property full of charm and comfort. We had a wonderful time by the fire, many wonderful conversations over wine and tea.. We'll be back for sure ❤️
Our stay at Kate and Scott's place was perfect. Such a beautiful home (we loved the high ceilings, stonework and Alison Lester art!). So peaceful waking up to the sun rising across the Prom, such a magical place. Comfortable, well stocked with everything you need and great supply of children's books and toys.
Will definitely be booking again next time we are in the area!
Very well kept, wonderful view, and everything needed was present and good quality and in good condition. Particularly liked that a fire was set up with enough wood, and that everything provided (even the coffee pods) was generous. Awesome property.
