About this property

St. Peter's Accommodation Cape Bridgewater

Only a short drive from the pristine Bridgewater Bay, Discovery Bay and 20 minutes from Portland; the magnificently restored St. Peter's Church, which was built in 1883 and held its first service on 5 August 1884 has style, character, sophistication and charm and is certainly a destination of distinction.

The inside restoration of the Church is a revelation.
Remnants of the old Church still feature; the wooden staircase to the pulpit, white monastic walls, local hardwood polished floor boards and ceilings of Oregon beams and kauri, even some of the pews have been used. The free standing wood fire is positioned centrally in the main living area and emits a warm glow heating the inside of the church on those cold winter nights. The rural views are spectacular too; roaming hills, cattle, green grass and bushland. There is a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom.

The beautiful and unique surroundings of Cape Bridgewater offer a range of the county’s most amazing and breathtaking sights including the Bridgewater Blowholes, superb coastal walks, the Petrified Forest, Bridgewater Lakes, seasonal whale watching and perhaps most notably, a colony of seals which can be viewed year-round either by seal tours or wonderful walking tracks.

If you are looking for a relaxing and soothing retreat from your busy city life, then look no further. Cape Bridgewater is the place to visit and unwind.

Pets welcomed. Fully fenced acre property. Please note that phone reception with certain service providers can be patchy, we find Telstra works well. WiFi available.

Exquisite stay for us and our dog!
We (us and our dog) all loved our time at St Peter's Accomodation. Samantha was the pefect host, she provides everything needed to enjoy the stay there and settle in comfortably as though getting cosy in your own home. All information, reommendations and instructions supplied were very clear and Samantha answered our questions promptly. We could only be there for a short stay but we hope to return again soon and stay longer. The property is fully fenced which meant we could relax knowing our dog was safely enjoying his explorations around the property. The birdlife around the property (and surrounds) is divine, we had the local flock of yellow-tailed blacks flying overhead every day, along with the rosellas, superb fairy wrens, and lorikeets. So many beautiul beaches are within a short distance by car from this property, which we visited daily. Very little light pollution in the area too meant we had the best stargazing opportunities with clear views of the milkway on cloudless nights. We had the most amazing time and can't wait to go back!

St Peter’s Church
A unique historical property with a beautiful blend of new and old features. Unfortunately the weather was extremely wild, wet and windy which limited our activities in the area. We were grateful for the good supply of firewood! A few torches wouldn’t go astray as we did have a power cut.

Warm and cosy
We stayed with our two dogs and we all loved it. The dogs loved the huge (fenced in) yard to explore. The daily temperatures were between 5-15 and the fire kept the place really warm. It is so very quaint, we recommend indeed. The local beach is a dog-off-lead walk and it has a cafe too.

Peaceful & unique
We had an issue on the day of our arrival, but we were impressed with how promptly & efficiently it was handled by our host. The location was perfect - very peaceful in the countryside. The accommodation itself was lovely and very unique and atmospheric. All mod cons in an olde world setting. As advertised there is good Wifi, but depending on your phone provider you may not have phone coverage. There is a large fenced backyard for pets.

Absolutely loved this place. Incredibly peaceful (best sleep in ages). We were welcomed by a koala in the garden too. Our dog loved it too. Great secured garden area for zoomies and chasing her ball. Highly recommended and we will certainly be heading back.

Warm and Cosy
We had a lovely stay at this Church, being a new experience. Every convenience is there for comfort, especially the log fire which was supplied with lots of timber to keep us warm. We had a pleasant visit from Samantha’s friend Peter who made a courtesy visit to make sure we didn’t need anything. The Church is a pleasant drive to Cape Bridgewater and Portland – a really good way to spend five nights relaxing and enjoying the countryside. Many thanks for opening your home to us…with regards….Bill and Allen Outlaw

Such a well-stocked, unique place, in a gorgeous pocket of Victoria. Check-in was simple, and communication in the lead up was very helpful. The central fire warms the place perfectly. I think I will return!
