About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Howards Hill bed & breakfast

Nestled among Manna Gums, ancient grass trees and 30 Acres of blissful bush, the converted barn of Howard's Hill is perfect for an intimate retreat, a family getaway, golf buddies weekend away or small groups with horses. All are welcome

With relaxation in mind, families, couples, dogs and even your own horses will feel right at home with a mix of modern conveniences amongst a spectacular backdrop.

The Barn

The fully renovated barn has everything you need to unwind from the moment you arrive. With every thing supplied, from linen to lounges, all you'll need to bring is a hunger to relax .
Unwind in the large claw-foot bath, admire the views from the upstairs lounges, or simply relax in the downstairs rumpus room - complete with very comfy couches, table tennis, television and fireplace with loads of wood provided
The Barn has it all...


The Property

Surrounded by nature, Howard's Hill is the perfect retreat after exploring all the Peninsula has to offer. Relax by the picturesque dam in the gazebo and enjoy a glass of wine while listening to the frogs and birds as the sun goes down, the perfect retreat after the event.

Greens Bush, part of the Nepean National Park, is practically at the back door, ideal for bush walking. Or for guests that would like to trail ride the area, we will accommodate your own horses, or trail rides can be arranged at nearby The Ranch or Gunnamatta Trail Rides. Golf courses such as Moonah Links and The National Golf Club and RACV are just minutes away, as are many of the Peninsula's Wineries. Beautiful beaches for surfing, fishing or swimming are all within a short drive.

We are conveniently located within 15 mins of Rosebud Plaza shopping centre for all your need, but when you are here at Howards Hill you feel miles away from anything. Relax unwind and enjoy the serenity.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Great Property

Everything was easy from booking to arriving to collecting the firewood for the week. Very welcoming of our two big dogs which had a fantastic time running around the property and our horse was very happy in his paddock. The barn is a fantastic space with a great outlook over the property. Couldn't ask for more and will definitely be back to stay next year when we are back down there. Fantasticly friendly and helpful hosts.

2Bays Ultramarathon stay

Extremely helpful hosts, Fiona and Neil made us welcome! They helped entertain my four hour old with a ride on the motorbike and showing him around the farm. A relaxing stay pre and post ultramarathon. The accom was an expected, everything you could need was there and the food basket was a nice bonus. The beds were comfortable and restful. Lovely sunny spot.

Two night stay

Our stay here was lovely and quiet which is what we both wanted. Fiona is a lovely host, easy to deal with prior, and during our stay - very welcoming. The Barn is located in lovely surrounds, had everything we needed and easy access to the Peninsula Hot Springs, Cape Schank and the bay beaches. Highly recommend staying here to explore the area.

Howard’s Hill was a beautiful, expansive place to get away from crowds. The barn is well equipped, the beds have beautiful linen and there was a very generous supply of breakfast food. The surrounding grounds are beautiful and full of gum trees. We would love to come back sometime.

Amazing mini break

We absolutely adored our little holiday. The commitment that the hosts had to the property shone through. It was the most incredible estate with gorgeous horses to say hello to every morning outside our barn. The kids had a ball and the hosts were so friendly I really felt like we were treated with such thoughtfulness and care.

A beautiful sanctuary with warm fires, tranquility, generosity and comfort.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in such a comfortable, peaceful environment with ample provisions of fire wood, food and luxury additions such as fluffy cushions, comfortable beds, gorgeous deep bath and picturesque environment. Lovely walks on the property and gazing out at the wildlife were highlights, not to mention patting the horse and lounging in the sunshine on the deck. This unique place is carefully planned to ensure that the various spaces encourage you to relax and unwind. Love it immensely and we are grateful to Fiona and Neil for providing us with this opportunity.

Amazing farm stay in Boneo!

Howard’s Hill was the perfect Mornington Peninsula get away. The converted barn was a lovely home away from home with everything you could wish for including a generous breakfast basket. We loved sitting outside on the balcony looking out over the property, especially at sunset when the sun slips away behind the trees. We only wish we had had more time to enjoy all the other lovely seating areas outside...Fiona and Neil were the perfect hosts and made us feel totally at home on their beautiful property.
