Clifftop Coastal Sanctuary | Panoramic Views

Summary:
A Premium Holiday Rental by Lively Properties
Perched on Mount Martha's breathtaking cliff-top, this stunning coastal home offers a luxurious winter escape with panoramic views across the ever-changing waters of Port Phillip Bay. Set on 1,210sqm of established gardens, this charming residence invites you to unwind in complete comfort and style. Embrace cosy mornings, fireside evenings, and uninterrupted vistas that turn every winter day into a serene, cinematic experience.

The Space:
This beautifully designed split-level home has been thoughtfully crafted to capture the beauty of winter on the bay. Oversized picture windows draw in soft seasonal light and spectacular sunsets, while the seamless indoor-outdoor flow allows you to stay connected to nature — even as you stay warm inside. Clerestory windows, soaring ceilings, and a central entertainer’s kitchen add character and function, making it easy to gather, cook, and connect.

The expansive bay-facing living area features a crackling open fireplace, setting the tone for intimate evenings, and opens to a sheltered entertaining balcony where you can sip mulled wine as the sun sets over the water.

The master suite, with its private retreat/study and stunning views, offers the perfect winter hideaway. Additional bedrooms and bathrooms ensure comfort for families or groups, while the rear garden — complete with a cubby house and stone-terraced landscaping — invites peaceful exploration even in the cooler months.
