About this property

The Chalet in the Rye—Scenic Rustic Retreat

Finding harmony between the beach and bush, this architecturally designed home has the feeling of a grand treehouse, immersed in nature. It captures spectacular views over Rye and the Peninsula from its wraparound balcony and sprawling gardens. You’ll be a five-minute drive to Rye Ocean Beach and the village, lined with eateries. Relax in Peninsula Hot Springs, play a round of golf at The Dunes and explore the region’s wineries. Come home to enjoy alfresco dining, a fire pit and bath.
Capturing expansive vistas across the Mornington Peninsula, this home combines character features with space and light. It features full-length glass windows that create an ever-changing backdrop from sunrise to sunset.

The living and dining area caters to all seasons. From cosy nights in front of the fireplace to alfresco dining on the balcony, taking in the crisp coastal air. There’s a large, fully equipped kitchen as well as a BBQ to prepare meals at home, and multiple dining spaces including the breakfast bar. A sitting area offers an idyllic nook to unwind with a book, and there are also plush sofas and a smart TV. Air-conditioning, heating and ceiling fans keep things comfortable all year round.

Each of the three bedrooms is well presented for a good night’s sleep. The primary bedroom features a queen-sized bed, with a walk-in wardrobe and direct access to the main bathroom. The second bedroom also comes with a queen-sized bed, while the third bedroom offers two sets of bunk beds, ideal for those travelling with kids. Both a corner bathtub and shower make it easy to refresh after the surf, while laundry facilities and a separate powder room add to your everyday convenience.

Parking is provided on the driveway and carport.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.

We are pet-friendly - please add the number of pets you're travelling with and let us know about your furry friend at the time of booking. We will reach out to charge a pet fee of $110.
