The space
Please note this is a small house with 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 blended living/dining area & 2 decks which boast some of the best views in Mount Martha.
Perched above the quiet, ever-changing waters of Port Phillip Bay, "The Peak of Mt Martha" is your cosy winter sanctuary. Thoughtfully styled with modern comfort and warmth in mind, this cliffside retreat invites you to slow down, soak in the views, and embrace the peaceful rhythms of the season.
Key Features:
Elevated Rear Deck: Breathe in the crisp ocean air from your private haven featuring heated spa, plush sun lounges (perfect for rugging up under a blanket), and bay views that shimmer even more beautifully in winter’s light.
Front Deck Lounge & Dining: Enjoy a morning coffee wrapped in a throw or share a glass of red as the sun sets beyond the hills and water — the front deck is a winter-ready space for calm and connection.
New Firepit Area: Toast marshmallows, sip mulled wine, or simply gather for evening chats by the warmth of the fire (photos coming soon).
Alfresco BBQ Dining: Winter BBQs hit different — sizzle your favourites under the stars and dine al fresco while wrapped in the peaceful quiet of the season.
Sleek Modern Interiors: The open-plan design is filled with natural light, complemented by panoramic bay views, and designed to keep you cosy with adaptive heating throughout.
Premium Amenities: Stay warm and comfortable with plush bedding, a state-of-the-art kitchen, modern appliances, reverse cycle heating, smart TVs, and high-speed WiFi.
Holistic Convenience: Includes a coffee machine, dishwasher, and a well-equipped laundry (dryer not included) — everything you need for a stress-free winter stay.
Parking: Easily accommodates 2–3 vehicles.
Kindly Note: Reaching The Peak of Mt Martha involves a steep dirt track. While it may require extra care, especially in winter, the elevated views and peaceful setting make it all worthwhile — this is a retreat you’ll want to return to, season after season.
