About this property

Boardwalk Cottages Mt Martha - Cottage 1

Nestled amongst trees on our 5-acre property, eat breakfast on the deck and enjoy listening to the birds. Overlooking our family vineyard, dam and the Balcombe Creek Nature reserve, our studio style cottages are self-contained and well equipped for short or longer stays. With a queen and double bed, they accommodate up to four people. The two cottages are well away from our main residence, and we leave you to enjoy your privacy throughout your stay.

At our very doorstep is the Balcombe Creek Boardwalk. Take a stroll to the heart of Mount Martha Village and beach or to the historic Briars Park and Homestead. By car, you are close to the attractions of the Mornington Peninsula. Enjoy some of the regions finest wineries & restaurants, visit markets, play golf, ride the Eagle Gondola at Arthur's Seat, soak in the Peninsula Hot Springs, pick fresh Strawberries (in season) or challenge the kids in the mazes or tree surfing.

Cosy and clean
Normally, I spend the first three hours of any holiday cleaning the place before I even feel comfortable to sit down. Not here! Julie's cottage is spotless, even under the kitchen sink, even the bins! It's also super tidy, what with all the labels and friendly messages around the house, not to mention the quaint interior and calming environment. Just wonderful!

Peaceful
This was a perfect place for me, surrounded by majestic trees and beautifully maintained gardens. The cottage was comfy and immaculate. The fridge was stocked with breakfast supplies. It was lovely to find a large basket of fruit and a fresh loaf of bread on the bench. I loved my stay. Thank you Julie and Andy

An excellent stay
We stayed at the Boardwalk Cottages for 4 days over Christmas. This was a wonderful stay! The accommodation was clean, comfortable (with aircon and fans in the heat), and well stocked. We also really appreciated the small details that made it more welcoming including chilled drinks in the fridge and a very generous pantry/snacks/fresh fruit selection on arrival. The property itself is lovely as well with expansive grounds, and was large enough to give us privacy, with the owners were easily contactable if needed. The location was also convenient for exploring the peninsula.

Perfect Stay
Loved the position, secluded in a forest like area. Beautiful trees, birds aplenty, resident skink. Sitting on the raised deck, early morning sun, percolated coffee in hand, silence- just salvation of the soul. Would have loved to have had the time to spend many more days here.

A hidden gem!
Julie is the ultimate host and has such an attention to detail. She supplied the basics for breakfast with a partially stocked pantry. That was extremely thoughtful. Cosy cabin feel, birds chirping, and just enough bush surroundings to feel remote. Really great mix of country and beach for a serene getaway.

Return visit
We enjoyed Julie's cottage so much on a weekend visit last year that we came back for a week's stay. It was just perfect. The cottage is in a beautiful location, close to everything but feels a world away from it all. It is very well maintained, and Julie and her family are very responsive to any requests. Again, we'll be back!

Exceeded expectations! Absolutely beautiful cottage with fantastic hosts!
My partner and I had the most wonderful 3 nights at this property recently. It far exceeded our expectations - the cottage was very well kept, cosy, exceptionally clean and peaceful. We mostly enjoyed breakfast out on the porch each morning while looking out across the beautiful, peaceful landscape full of wildlife and beauty. Muriel, Julie and the family were all extremely welcoming and most friendly. They really went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect! Location is also 10/10. We enjoyed exploring the many wineries and hiking spots close by as well as taking a 25 minute stroll to the main beach and bars through the boardwalk nearby! We only wish we'd stayed longer! I would highly recommend this property to anyone! We will most certainly be returning soon!

The cottage was spot on, everything you need was there, the host was just lovely and very caring that our stay was enjoyed, the grounds of the property are so well cared for it is a credit to them, the cottage surrounded by tall gums with bird life all around made the area a very relaxing environment, so enjoyable
