About the host

Host profile image
What I love most about Ruby Cottage is the sense of peace it brings. Set within beautiful established gardens, it's a place where guests can slow down, enjoy the fresh coastal air and reconnect with nature.

This property is especially close to my heart. It forms part of what was once our family's much-loved farmhouse on five acres. After my husband passed away following his battle with cancer, I embarked on a journey to thoughtfully redevelop the property, creating beautiful, accessible accommodation where everyone—including guests with mobility challenges—could enjoy a memorable holiday.

As a passionate birdwatcher and gardener, I never tire of the incredible birdlife, native trees and changing seasons of the Bellarine Peninsula. The property's rich soil, a legacy of its former life as a chook farm, allows the gardens to flourish and gives me enormous pleasure throughout the year.

Nothing makes me happier than knowing guests create their own special memories here—whether it's sharing time with family, relaxing with friends, exploring the coast, or simply enjoying the tranquillity of this very special place.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this part of the Bellarine Peninsula many years ago because it offers something increasingly rare—a place where nature, history and a relaxed coastal lifestyle come together beautifully.

As a keen birdwatcher and gardener, I never tire of the incredible diversity of birdlife, the native landscapes and the changing seasons. Whether it's an early morning walk along the beach, exploring the wetlands, cycling quiet country roads or simply listening to the birds from the garden, every visit brings something new.

I also love the area's welcoming villages, wonderful cafés, wineries, local produce and rich maritime history. Point Lonsdale and nearby Queenscliff have retained their unique character while offering visitors so much to see and do.

For me, this is a place to slow down, reconnect with nature and spend quality time with the people who matter most. I hope every guest leaves feeling as refreshed and inspired by this special corner of Victoria as I do.

What makes this property unique

Ruby Cottage was purposefully designed to provide a level of privacy rarely found in two-bedroom accommodation. Rather than placing the bedrooms side by side, I positioned the two bathrooms between them, creating separate, private sleeping zones. Each bedroom also opens onto its own outdoor deck, giving guests a peaceful place to enjoy a morning coffee or quiet moment alone.

This thoughtful layout makes Ruby Cottage exceptionally versatile. It works beautifully for two couples travelling together, families with older children, friends holidaying together, or client and carer arrangements where both comfort and personal space are important.

Combined with step-free accessibility, a gourmet kitchen, separate games room, private fully fenced garden and quality furnishings throughout, Ruby Cottage offers much more than a place to stay—it provides a comfortable, welcoming retreat where everyone can relax in their own way.
