Set in rolling countryside with panoramic views across Pt Phillip Bay, this beautifully renovated retreat is breathtaking and tranquil.
The architecturally designed farmhouse and adjacent cottages have a relaxed contemporary feel and are beautifully presented. All three dwellings are set in a native garden surrounded by magnificent exotic trees. The farm is a nature lovers haven, offering over 100 species of birds, kangaroos, wallabies, and numerous walks through the bush and wetlands. On warm days, guests can cool off in the lake or relax on the pontoon which is positioned 700m to the North East of the main buildings.
Centrally located between Dromana, Merricks, and Red Hill, Red Hill Ridge is an ideal base for exploring the Peninsula.
* The Farmhouse & Cottage (For up to 10 adults and 1 child only) *

A cutting-edge kitchen with European appliances is well equipped for long, lazy gatherings. The lounge area with its comfy lounges, banquette seating, and wood-burning fire has a relaxed comfortable feel just perfect for curling up with a glass of red. The adjacent terrace is complete with an outdoor dining setting that can accommodate up to 14 guests, a barbecue, and a million-dollar view. Simply breathtaking!
The Farmhouse accommodates up to 8 guests across three bedrooms. The master bedroom has a Queen Size bed and a stunning modern ensuite bathroom. Bedroom 2 offers flexibility, consisting of 2 x King-Single beds and can be set up as a King bed if preferred. Bedroom 3 offers 4 x Single beds (ideally suited for children, due to the size of the room) . A modern and sleekly designed central bathroom is again absolutely stunning.
Positioned right next to The Farmhouse, you will find The Cottage which can accommodate another 2 adults and up to 1 extra child only.
Sophisticated and spacious, with quality soft furnishings this cottage is tranquil and stylish. Fully self-contained, it offers a well-equipped kitchen, complete with oven, dishwasher and induction cooktop. A Queen size bed is separated from the living zone, providing a relaxing, private retreat. Adjacent a very spacious ensuite that is cleverly designed for any guests requiring assistance with a safety rail. The gorgeous living zone once again brings the outside in.

The Dairy can be made available Upon Request, for an additional hire fee. For groups of 12-14 people, The Dairy Must be booked in order to fully accommodate all of your guests. For groups of 14 people, at least one guest must be a child.
Originally the old dairy, hence the name, has also been transformed into another fully self-contained cottage with a separate bedroom including a Queen Size bed. Again, it is obvious that this space has been architecturally designed. It includes a kitchenette, stunning ensuite bathroom, and spacious living area that also offers another single bed. The entrance deck features an outdoor setting, ideal for watching the sunset on the bay in the distance.
Red Hill Ridge is truly a unique property delivering the best of both worlds. Total seclusion and tranquillity yet only a few minutes drive to the Peninsula's many beaches, cafes, wineries, restaurants, galleries, markets, spas, local artisans, and nature reserves.
This will suit the most discerning travellers and guarantee your stay will be a memorable one.

Loved the high ceilings, rooms and the open space to entertain. Our little bubs had a ball palying on the grass under the big tree. The view had us all mesmerised and feeling so grounded.
