Great house in a good location, pet friendly with a big back garden.

We had a wonderful time celebrating our daughters birthday at the property. The house is beautiful and the back garden is great especially for our little dog who wore himself out running around the garden. Also the outdoor table under the vine is a great spot for dinner and drinks. The views to the ocean are great from the back deck. The house is in a great area close to everything on the Peninsula.

Wonderful winter long weekend

This is our second time as a family in this lovely property at Red Hill. We were welcomed with a thoughtful basket of local goodies, and spent a fabulous weekend in playing board games in front of the fire and enjoying the gorgeous garden, walks and everything Red Hill has to offer on our doorstep. Thanks again, we will be back!

Lovely property, clean and great location

We had a wonderful stay over the long weekend and photos don’t do this place justice! It’s a very charming property and well located but still peaceful. The house had everything we needed with a well stocked kitchen and even plenty of firewood if you chose to use the fireplace. Everything was clean and the main bedroom bed was very comfortable (some block out blinds would be good for sleep ins but otherwise perfect). The gardens are beautiful and bbq was great too. It’s well located being a 2 minute drive to Polperro and close to Cellar & Pantry and all other vineyards. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

How’s the Serenity!!??

We had a very relaxing stay over Labour day long weekend. Really nicely appointed with absolutely everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. Loved the bath !! A couple of small issues - it’s not fully fenced so we had to constantly watch that our dog didn’t venture near the road. Someone had a BBQ previously and the fat drip tray was still in the Webber, only realised it once the morning warmed up and the smell, and a few wasps, alerted us to it while we were having brunch on the deck. The good well outweighed the bad though 🌻👍🏼

Amazing surrounds and property.

Very hospitable hosts and lovely property. Basket of generous goodies and treats left for us and our dog on arrival was a lovely touch. Despite some wet weather, we enjoyed our stay. A few minor things. The kitchen backsplash and extractor fan needed a more thorough clean. We would have like a couple of firmer pillows. The pump for the water tank stopped working twice ( during the night). However my husband was able to reset it. Thanks very much Denise for a lovely weekend.

Fabulous views in the heart of Red Hill

We had a great week here and particularly loved the garden (our golden retriever thought it was heaven!), deck and outbuilding with table tennis. The location worked really well for us, being a short walk to the Red Hill South cafes and deli, and even closer to the Red Hill to Merricks trail, and a short drive to multiple beaches. Only slight critique would be that we all found the beds very soft, but I know that’s a personal preference. We’d definitely go back.

Peninsula escape

Group of 6 adults and 1 pooch had a wonderful time exploring the peninsula and spending time together for a long weekend. The house was wonderfully set up - we enjoyed cooking together and relaxing on the deck during the day and in front of the fire at night. The property was not fully secure for the dog so we had to secure him which was fine. The welcome basket from the host was also much appreciated. Thoroughly recommend the house!

Ticks every box

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this delightful cottage. First impressions are of the wonderful view across to the bay from the fantastic deck, and the lovely gardens that surround the house. Inside the cottage has been thoughtfully furnished with a lovely log fire and the kitchen is well equipped for entertaining. We invited friends down and walked the trail from the house to Merricks and back, with the reward of a long lazy lunch of delicious treats from local producers on the deck when we got back. Perfect. And our pooches loved it too. Thanks Denise!

About the host

Hosted by Denise Cochran

Rob and I purchased this beautiful home in Red Hill after a very long search! We truly wanted to be able to experience all Red Hill and the surrounding areas offer and this property enables us to do just that. After a day of exploring the many walking trails in the areas; to come home to a beautiful view and relaxed environment is the best feeling.

Why they chose this property

The property is spacious without being too large. It is set on an acre with an abundance of space and mature plants. The large deck spans the width of the property and is fabulous for relaxing with a drink or enjoying a meal.
The property has been recently refurbished and is a fully equipped functioning home.
With the addition of the Rumpus room, the property now also offers an extra area to "work from home" should the need arise.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful location with views to Western Port. Peaceful surroundings but being within walking distance of the small shopping area of Red Hill South, comprising of cafes and a general store.
