This is the most gorgeous place. We settled in on a Saturday afternoon, the weather was beautiful and we lit the outdoor fire and used the grill over the fire for dinner. The property was spacious and the big tress surrounding are just magical! Inside is beautifully designed, clean and comfortable. We loved our stay so much and will definitely be back.

Wonderful place to stay

The property was a perfect retreat for our family and friends. We loved the rural setting and the natural, rustic and unpretentious feel of the place while still being stylish with all the mod cons. The owners, Robyn and Brad are delightful and very accommodating. I would highly recommend the Merricks Stable accommodation and plan on returning sometime.

Girls weekend

We had the most wonderful time staying here. It's a beautiful spot, close to restaurants and wineries. The host was fantastic, easy to communicate with. Even got the fire going so it was ready for us when we got home. Could recommend this enough

A lovely stay

We had a lovely stay on the property, whilst the accommodation was closer to the main house then we had expected it was exceptionally quiet and peaceful. The stables is well appointed and beautifully designed and decorated, and well suited to our family of four and my parents. The grounds are blessed with well established gardens and a lovely herd of cattle. The peacock and family dog were a delightful surprise and we enjoyed their nightly visits. Robyn was an excellent host, quick to assist with any enquiries. I would recommend thos for anyone looking for a quiet family (or couples) getaway.

A Must to Stay.

From start to finish this stay was amazing. Such a beautiful feel to this accommodation with so much to do including playing with the chickens and looking out for Kevin the resident peacock. Excellent friendly hosts where nothing was a problem for them. Robyn and Brad had great recommendations of things to do in the area. The house is located in a great spot being less than 10 minutes to the beach and Balnarring shops. Highly recommend. 10 out of 10. Thank you for the wonderful stay. We are sure to return.

Perfect Getaway

The Stables at Merricks was a delightful weekend and we look forward to staying there again. The accommodation is exactly as listed but it’s the little details that make it more special. The stunning tree-lined driveway, quality of linens, ample firewood and lovely hosts ensure a most comfortable break. Robyn and her family lit the fire ahead of our arrival and were so lovely when greeting us. We are very familiar with the Mornington Peninsula and this place is perfectly situated if you want to explore wineries and the more relaxing back end of Balnarring, Shoreham, Red Hill and Flinders. Perfect for family and fur friends (we stayed with our little pooch) or a girls weekend away. Highly recommend!

Unique accomodation in a picturesque, peaceful setting.

A fantastic location to base the family for a birthday weekend. Lots of nearby cafes, wineries, towns and beaches etc to explore. My husband spent a lot of time practising his photography on the picturesque property including his astro photography as the sky and stars are so clear at night. We brought the dog and he had a great time too. Robyn was a lovely host and l am sure we will be return.

Our fifth visit.

We love this place and have visited over the years with family, friends and for a girls weekend. The hosts, location and amenities set you up for a relaxing getaway, with numerous options for good food and wine outings, and time for a swim or surf at nearby beaches. Your beautiful accomodation is awaiting a cozy night in or fire pit in winter, or outdoor dining in summer. Absolute perfection. We'll be back soon. Thanks, Gen.
