About this property

Varuna Beach House Mt Martha. 5 Bedroom, 3 bathroom holiday house.

This two storey home has sweeping bay views across the bay to Port Phillip heads and the Bellarine Coast from the newly installed front balcony.

The house is situated in quiet a cul-de-sac street, with a park in the street with swings and a jungle jim.

There is a private and secure backyard pool retreat, solar heating included, with two outdoor dining areas to match the Zeigler and Brown Twin Grill Barbecue. A manicured outdoor garden with lounge chairs with soft cushions complete the grassed and tiled areas.
It is only a short stroll to South Beach which is an easy 400m.

Varuna is a great destination for single families, family groups or groups of adults enjoying a girls or boys weekend, that wish to have a complete household to enjoy themselves. Designed with a vast open plan upper level living area and dining area (seating up to 12 guests when the extra leaves are opened), as well as sweeping water views that are spectacular year round.

Varuna can also be a cosy romantic retreat for a couple wishing to enjoy the privacy and seclusion of a beautiful house with space and great amenities. Watch out for special offers, and last minute bookings.

The backyard pool and gas fireplace with stone surround, located in the upper living room sets the scene for winter and summer holiday breaks in the company of family or friends.
A second downstairs living space opening out onto the backyard pool deck, is equipped with TV, DVD player and Rumpus Room space and housing a treadmill. There is also a infant's port-a-cot.
There is a remote control single garage, and parking for a boat/caravan.
There is unlimited fast speed wifi internet that works throughout the house, and a smart tv that enables connection to your Netflix or any other internet program.

Walking distance to spectacular South Beach and 10 minutes drive to Mornington's Fisherman's Beach (Fisheys Beach), and to Safety, Dromana, Rosebud and McCrae Beaches.

Further, it is a 10 minute walk to Balcombe Creek, which in summer has canoeing and water sports near where it flows into South Beach. There is year round terrific fishing off Balcombe Creek, and marvellous Boardwalk that tracks along the Mount Martha section of Balcombe Creek for approximately 5 kilometres,

Mount Martha village has a well stocked IGA supermarket, a chemist, butcher, newsagent, several exclusive boutiques and at last count, eight restaurants and cafes.

Inland, and you are 10-15 minutes from the delights of Red Hill, Main Ridge and Arthur's Seat. There are over 50 wineries, many with attached restaurants.

Fabulous Gourmet kitchen, Miele appliances, 5 burner stove, fan forced oven and miele professional microwave. Double sink, food processor, pizza oven, sandwich maker, toaster, Kettle with tea and coffee facilities, Aldi pod coffee maker and milk frother, and a Saeco coffee machine (with inbuilt coffee bean grinder) as well innumerable serving plates, pots and pans. Would suit a gourmet chef that would want to prepare beautiful meals in house!


Fabulous Mornington Peninsula views, short walking distance to South Beach and Safety Beach and Mount Martha village. Seven kilometres to Dromana, 10 kilometres to Mornington Main Street with its countless cafes and shops. 12 kilometres to Red Hill. Minutes to Mount Martha Golf course, Red Hill Market (first Saturday every month in Spring and Summer). Please note there is a cinema in Frankston and one in Rosebud, and Dromana has the only Drive In on the Peninsula.

In the water, you can go fishing, kayaking, scuba diving and sailing but if you'd prefer to stay dry, there are plenty of national parks to tramp through, plus the Ashcombe Maze & Lavender Gardens are well-worth a visit. In fact, there are quite a few historic gardens in the area, so track them down and spend an afternoon unwinding and stopping to smell the roses

There are 50 odd wineries in the area, as well as innumerable restaurants and cafes in the Mornington, Mount Martha, Dromana, Red Hill, Main Ridge, Merricks and Arthurs Seat areas all within minutes by car from the holiday house. There is also a world class spa in red hill, called Red Hill Spa on Mornington Flinders Rd Flinders, or the Peninsula Hot Springs in Fingel.
Twenty minutes East, down Bungower Road, to Pearcedale (near Phillip Island) is Moonlit Sanctuary, a fabulous Wildlife Sanctuary that the kids will absolutely adore.
We have our favourite cafe and restaurants, and we provide a PDF of these businesses if you are after some recommendations.

Perfect Family Retreat
The house with pool, choice of alfresco eating spaces, views over the bay and multiple chill zones was perfect for our needs. Plenty of kitchen equipment and a BBQ, with 3 full bathrooms and a second lounge area down stairs more than accommodated our family of 8 adults and two kids. 15 minute walk to shops and cafes. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect location for sunset
We really enjoyed our stay here. The kitchen is well equipped and living areas are spaced throughout the house. The kids were able to have a retreat downstairs. The pool was in constant use by all members. However there is no pool fence next to the pool. We found this a bit difficult with a toddler. Also no stair gates are provided. Overall the stay was enjoyed by all. Watching the sunset most nights was a highlight.

Outdated, not clean, a/c broken
Stayed 5 days. A/C broken and not fixed while there despite letting owner know. Pool dirty incl mold and was shocked day before left which was only time it would’ve been useable weather wise. Dead possum just outside kitchen window. Outdated fridge had no water/ice dispenser or even filtered water jug. Overall place needs updates and better cleaning. No partial refund offered. Expensive stay given issues

Fantastic views
Our family stayed here over the xmas period. The house is huge and has everything you could need. The owners were quick to reply when we had an issue with the wi fi (only needed rebooting). The pool was fabulous as it was quite hot. The views were fantastic. Would definately stay again.

Relaxing Getaway.
We chose Varuna Beach house as our accommodation for a yearly getaway with a group a friends. The property is excellent. Close to the shops and beach, and the photos on the website undersell the amazing view from the second level. It's a great location. Absolutely glad we chose this spot.

Fantastic house
We stayed at this amazing house for the weekend, with my kids and grandkids. The house is situated in a great position, walking distance to the beach, park and village. The house was clean and had everything you needed, even board games. This house is a credit to the owner. Thanks for a great weekend.

Great Holiday!
Enjoyable week holiday with a group of 10 people +2 children. The house was clean and enjoyable to be in. Very spacious for 10 people + 2 children to comfortably stay for the week. The pool was clean and a hit for the whole week as we swam daily. Great view of the bay and the nightly sunsets, our group loved the telescope looking out onto the bay. Kitchen appliances were all new and in great condition, as well as plenty of glasses, knives and forks, platter trays etc. As well as the laundry facilities were modern and all washing powder, detergent everything was provided. A quick drive to Mount Martha Village and beach, most mornings we would walk to the village/beach which would only take us 5-10 minutes. The owner was fantastic, very responsive to questions and helpful with suggesting places to eat and making sure everything was OK and we were enjoying our stay. Very quick at getting our security deposit back - over all the owner was extremely helpful and made sure we had a great holiday. Cannot fault this location or house, we would love to stay again.
