Stringybark pleasure
Lovely sited property on a property with isolation and rural surrounds plus sheep. Close to many wineries, good local shop and the red hill rail trail. Very comfortable, nicely equipped, no oven or dishwasher if you are inclined to cook and make a mess. No washing machine if you have longer stays in mind. Perfect for couples and ideal for exploring the peninsula/ don’t miss montaltos, rare hare, point Leo estate and merricks store for dining and sculptures.

Stringybark Cottage B&B
My partner and I had a wonderful three-day stay at Stringybark Cottage B&B. The cozy and relaxed atmosphere made it the perfect base for exploring the Mornington Peninsula. The cottage was immaculately presented, well-equipped for self-catering. I loved the large, modern bathroom with soaker tub! Our host's breakfast provisions, featuring farm-fresh eggs, fresh bread and raspberry jam were a delightful touch. With so much to discover in the region, we hope to return soon. We highly recommend Stringybark Cottage B&B to anyone visiting the area – it's truly spectacular!Thank you Sally! Cathy & John

Rural Luxe
Low key, quiet, charming, and beautifully maintained one bedroom weatherboard cottage in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula. A lovely welcoming party in the form of three happy and friendly sheep in the adjacent fenced paddock. A great place to stay!

Perfect Oasis of Calm
The cottage has been really well set up. It has a great sense if light and space, is very comfortable and practical The bathroom in particular is great with the bath a welcome bonus. The rural outlook makes you feel like you are away from everything yet you are very close to Red Hill South. Just perfect for a couple wanting to get away from everything.

Great cottage, great location, totally relaxing
We loved our stay. The cottage had everything we needed and nothing we didn't. The bathroom was very well fitted and I really appreciated a good shower and modern facilities with getaway rentals Living area and couches were awesome and outdoor surrounds really deliver the feel of an escape to nature. We managed to develop a mini friendship with very sweet sheep in the neighbouring property. Yet a few minutes drive down the road and you're right in the middle of red hill. Would recommend for couples getaway

Refreshing place to stay
We loved our stay at Stringybark cottage in Red Hill celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. The luxury and warmth were really appreciated (Sally put the heater on so it was warm when we arrived which was a lovely, inviting touch as we walked in from the cold). The peaceful outlook with sheep, a dam and birds popping by to visit the bird feeder was also a joy for us. We love the fact it wasn't cluttered yet had everything we needed. Along with the luxuries of a wood heater, floor heater and the heated towel rails to warm the towels after a relaxing soak in the gorgeous tub. The food provisions of bacon, eggs, bread, milk and juice were well enjoyed in the morning! Thanks so much for a beautiful place to relax, unwind and celebrate. We hope to be back soon. Many thanks, Luke and Monica

Perfect base for visiting the Mornington Peninsula
The cottage was perfect for a weekend away. So many positives I am not sure I can mention them all. Cozy wood fire that was already to light when we arrived. Amazing bathroom with rain head shower and heated floor and towel rail. Plenty of hot water and a comfy bed. Fresh breakfast provisions and a great little coffee machine. We really loved meeting our neighbouring sheep Rod, Ben and Cathy and feeding them oats each day. Can’t recommend this spot highly enough so peaceful and would love to return.
