About this property

Architecturally designed stunning house close to peninsula wineries & beaches

Main Ridge Barn was designed and built in 2019 with a specific purpose of being a relaxed and comfortable entertainer! The house itself has been architecturally designed to ensure you feel part and parcel of the wonderful surrounds. With a large north facing deck there is nothing better than sitting with a glass of wine, looking across the strawberry fields waiting for the local kangaroos to bound past. In winter, fire up the log burner and enjoy the views through a 12m wall of windows.

In 2023, Main Ridge Barn was awarded 'Best Rural Accommodation - Mornington Peninsula' for the second year in a row by LUXlife magazine in their 2023 Resorts & Retreats Awards.

The property is only 250m from Rocky Creek Strawberry Farm and 350m from T'Gallant Winery. A short drive takes you to Green Olive, Red Hill Estate, Tedesca Osteria and Ten Minutes by Tractor.

About the house...

The house has an impressive living area with vaulted ceilings and a large, north facing deck connected to a child friendly garden.

The house is also secure for small dogs and we welcome your fully house-trained fur-babies. A $10 per night, per dog levy applies for a max of two dogs and all requests will be considered upon application. Please enquire before booking.

The state of the art, modern kitchen is an entertainers dream, equipped with a large induction hob, two ovens, dishwasher, large fridge freezer and fully stocked kitchen pantry with gadgets galore!

House configuration upstairs - Bedroom 1 (King Bed & balcony), Bedroom 2 (2 x King Single Beds), Bathroom (shower & bath) and large rumpus living area on mezzanine (inc 55" TV).

House configuration downstairs - Bedroom 3 (Queen Bed), Bedroom 4 (2 x Single bunk beds - sleeps 4), Laundry (separate washer & dryer), modern kitchen, dining area (3m table, seats 10), lounge with 65" Smart TV and log burner.

We look after our 'fur-guests' as well with feeding bowls, a luxurious corduroy bed, toys, spare poo bags, wipes and possibly even a snack or two!

Perfect
Main Ridge Barn is an exceptional retreat in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula’s wine country. The property is beautifully designed, offering a perfect balance of comfort and luxury in a serene rural setting. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by the thoughtful touches provided by the hosts—small details that made our stay even more enjoyable.The location is ideal, with easy access to world-class wineries, gourmet experiences, and stunning coastal attractions. The barn itself is spacious, stylish, and well-equipped for a relaxing getaway. Whether enjoying the peaceful surroundings or exploring the region, our stay at Main Ridge Barn was nothing short of perfect. A huge thank you to the Brenda and Peter for creating such a warm and inviting space—we can’t wait to return!

Lovely getaway at Main Ridge
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is great with a lovely vista overlooking the strawberry fields. The house is quiet, clean and well stocked with cooking utensils and pantry staples. The welcome hamper was a nice touch. The wifi worked seamlessly and we were able to stream movies. Electric blankets were supplied and the floor heating in the bathrooms, fireplace and room heating kept us comfortable and cosy. Brenda was very easy to communicate with and allowed us to check in a little earlier.

Perfect family getaway in our favourite place!
We had a wonderful week staying at the barn! Emma and Steve made us feel welcome before we had even arrived and communication was great throughout our stay, nothing was too much trouble! The house has been perfectly designed for two families with upstairs and downstairs zones, we felt right at home and able to relax as soon as we arrived. We received a gorgeous welcome basket and the house was stocked with all the essentials (pantry, kitchen, soap, washing detergent, etc.) which made our stay even more enjoyable. The house is modern, beautifully furnished, filled with light and has thoughtful touches throughout with lots to keep the kids and adults entertained both indoors and outdoors. A stunning home in an amazing location! We look forward to creating more memories at the barn in the future! Highly recommend!!

About the host

Hosted by Brenda & Peter Jones

Host profile image
This is us! Our family includes our 18 yo daughter, and Bodhi the Cavoodle. We are a small family who do a lot. We love to travel and have adventures and new experiences wherever we go. Our most recent adventure was to swim with the whale sharks on Ningaloo Reef!! Bucket list item ticked!!!

Why they chose this property

We were so lucky to buy Main Ridge Barn in June 2022. It had us at hello!!!! We fell in love with the house the moment we saw it online and it only got better when we visited. I think it was the beautiful open spaces that first drew us in, and then we saw the kitchen and the dining table, log burner and the view and that was it. The house had been so thoughtfully designed and built that there was nothing for us to do. We think it's absolutely perfect and we hope you do too!

What makes this property unique

Less than 1hr from Melbourne but feels like another place altogether. Amazing views of the strawberry farm. So close to wineries, restaurants, farmgates, beaches, golf courses. Inside, the Barn has inspiring spaces that can accommodate families, couples, friends and well behaved pooches.
