A character property, decorated with taste & flair

Well located for a visit to Pt Leo estate. Close to Red Hill & Balnarring & all wineries. Charming, small fibro cottage decorated with flair. Lovely touches, fresh flowers, bottle of Stonier wine, fruit from the garden.An expensive area to stay, tho.

Best Weekend Ever

We had the privilege of staying at this beautiful property over our wedding weekend! We got to meet the lovely hosts on Friday night by chance and they are just beautiful down to earth people who genuinely wanted us to have a gorgeous time. Merricks Cottage was the perfect weekend away and I would recommend to anyone!

Fabulous

We enjoyed a few days at Merrick’s Cottage. Such a great location for exploring the Mornington Peninsula. And with a winery and great food literally on the doorstep, we were very content. The cottage has everything and is very comfortable, especially the bed. I would certainly recommend.

Perfect cottage

We had a great stay at this beautiful cottage with our 2 kids and our dog. The garden was perfect for our dog, totally secure, and she enjoyed watching the neighbouring alpacas. The cottage is beautifully styled and very comfortable. I would definitely recommend it to others. We hope to come back next year too

This cottage was so beautiful. Equipped with everything we needed for a wonderful long weekend. Walking distance to Stonier Winery (a favorite) and Merricks General Store where we enjoyed a delicious lunch. We would definitely recommend for a quiet and restful place to unwind and relax. Thank you Lynda

Delightful

Merricks Cottage is a beautiful and comfortable getaway in a great location. A lot of attention has been given to make you feel at home, from a selection of different density pillows to a selection of teas and coffees. It has a beautifully landscaped garden and is a short walk or drive to everything you need. Ill definitely be going back!

A Great Location to explore the Balnarring / Flinders area

The cottage is well appointed and located very close to the Merricks General Store so a comfortable and excellent location from which to explore the area. Some nice welcome touches including a bottle of bubbles, some "home grown" eggs and apples and citrus fruit from the host's (Lynda) garden. Communication was very easy and check in straight forward.

Beautiful, characterful Cottage

Merricks Cottage was above expectations. Set in a beautiful, lavender, rose and magnolia filled garden, this characterful colonial style cottage was the perfect antidote to the busy, city life of myself and 2 friends. Set just a stones throw from wineries, the Merricks General store cafe and cellar-door and peaceful Merricks beach, I recommend this as the perfect country escape.

Long Weekend

Spotlessly clean and out of the pages of a Country Style magazine . We enjoyed the location of the cottage to explore the surroundings and then happily had quiet evenings in front of the log fire . Lynda was very pleasant to deal with - would happily return

Merricks Cottage felt like a wonderful trip down memory lane! Fresh flowers and special treats for adults and our Sheltie Sasha were thoughtfully laid out for our arrival. The master bed was incredibly comfortable and the cottage kitchen provided everything we needed for a relaxing Easter weekend. Waking to the sound of birdsong instead of the hum of Melbourne traffic was delightful! Our host was lovely to communicate with during the booking process. The property is securely fenced, so even the smallest furry family member can safely enjoy Merricks Cottage. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Cosy cottage

A perfect weekend getaway location. We specifically chose this gorgeous cottage for its proximity to the Merricks Store where we attended a wedding. It was as close as you can get, in easy walking distance. We were delighted with the cottage- it was cosy and warm (on a cold weekend). Lynda was very welcoming and responsive. The bed was extremely comfortable and all facilities were excellent. It is a great place for a girls weekend, with two lovely bedrooms.

We had a fantastic stay at Merricks Cottage with our dog Sammy. It was simply perfect. Lots of lovely little touches from the host, including some welcome treats for humans and dogs!We would highly recommend a stay here. The cottage and gardens were immaculate, so full of character and clearly a lot of love has gone in to creating the perfect place for guests to enjoy, year round. The location is hard to beat - walking distance Merricks General Store and Stonier winery and a short drive to many beaches, yet the cottage is so relaxing you feel a million miles away from day to day life. We stayed during a heatwave and the aircon was very good. We will be back!
