Higgin's Rest - Relax in this country hideaway in rural Shoreham

Converted barn meets inner city warehouse short-stay apartment in Shoreham.

Relax in this country hideaway in rural Shoreham, only minutes to the beach. It is set over three levels: a bathroom downstairs, an open-plan living and kitchen upstairs with views over Shoreham to Western Port, a bedroom with a Queen-size bed, and a large attic-style bedroom on the top floor for the kids to share, with a TV area and a wood heater for cooler evenings.

The garden and lawn area, including the trampoline, are shared with the main residence on the property. The trampoline is an Olympic-sized competition model and padded to those standards.

Amazing property in the perfect summer location
We all loved the barn (and the trampoline). Dog friendly a huge plus for us. Wonderful hosts. Will definitely be back.

Lovely rustic coastal accommodation
The accommodation and location were fantastic. Be prepared for a few bugs around but that’s par for the course. It’s a barn. There is a wine making area in the barn separated only by a black curtain. Same level as the bathroom. Lots of rules and regulations with both the Mornington Peninsula Code of Conduct and another list from the owner, who is literally next door on the same property. We had an additional hand written note from to say that he will be making wine on Saturday morning and hopes to disturb us minimally. It started at 7am , which is within the code of conduct rules, but not what we expected for the price we paid. Probably wouldn’t stay again as it’s a bit awkward with owners so close and using the rental for other purposes.

Great property
Great, spacious property with lovely outlook, fantastic grounds and short drive to beach. Note, the house is over three levels, with bathroom and fridge on bottom floor, so be prepared for some stair climbing!
