Welcome! My name is Tim, and it’s my pleasure to open my family home to you.
This isn't a cold, commercial rental property — it is a genuine home and family sanctuary that I personally live in and love whenever guests aren't staying. Because it’s a real home, it has a warm, lived-in soul, comfortable spaces, and everything you need for a relaxing, authentic getaway with family, friends, and your dog.
A Truly Private 3/4-Acre Oasis
Unlike standard quarter-acre suburban blocks lined with close neighbors, our home sits on a sprawling ¾-acre property backing directly onto the 65-acre Citation Reserve. You’ll feel the quiet calm as soon as you walk in and look out across the lush green reserve from the kitchen.
- Native Birdlife: The wrap-around balcony, shaded by James Stirling and Silver Birch trees, is an incredible spot to hear native birds over morning coffee or watch kookaburras up close in the afternoon.
- Scenic Boardwalk to Beach: A peaceful 20-minute stroll along the Balcombe Creek estuary boardwalk takes you straight into Mt Martha village and down to the beach.
It’s the perfect way to start the day, enjoy some quiet solitude, or walk the dog away from busy roads.
Comfortable Family Accommodation
Designed for group catch-ups and multi-generational stays, the house comfortably sleeps adults and kids alike:
- Spacious Master Bedroom: Generous private retreat.
- 3 Queen Beds: All with new or near-new mattresses for a restful sleep.
- Kids' Setup: Bunk room (sleeping 2) plus an extra single mattress for friends.
- Outdoor Living: The expansive wrap-around deck has hosted many unforgettable summer evening dinners surrounded by trees and quiet reserve views.
Pets & Welcoming Spirit
- Pets Welcome: We love dogs, and with prior permission, your furry family member is very welcome to join you!
- 12+ Years of Happy Guests: Over more than a decade of hosting, the feedback we hear most often is how deeply peaceful, grounding, and restoring a stay here feels.
Feel free to reach out if you'd like to ask any questions or request a visit to inspect before booking. We’d love to share our retreat with you!
