The villas are absolutely a wonderful experience & well worth booking. We love Villa 1 best and enjoy the views over the vineyard from the kitchen and then the view of the lake and overall outlook vista. The fitout & style Linda has undertaken is very luxurious & this needs to be commended & makes for s very comfortable stay. We love the furniture & location. Close to Dromana village for a coffee and walk on the beach one way & then close to the heights and atmosphere of Red Hill as well. The Crittenden wines are lovely as well, as is Yabby Lake winery. the Stillwater Restaurant onsite at Crittenden is only a 100 metre walk and has beautiful meals & wines & yiu don't have to worry about driving. Enjoy!!!

We cannot speak more highly of this accommodation. Absolutely everything has been thought of right down to tealights by the amazing spa (even matches in the drawer to light them). Linda has gone above and beyond to ensure that your stay exceeds all expectations. Beautiful outlook over the lake, so peaceful and relaxing. The fire, the bed, the decor all just perfect. The wine tasting experience was excellent and so glad we decided to do it.

Fantastic stay in a very picturesque setting. Villas were beautifully appointed and the breakfast provided was more that ample with bacon, eggs, bread and Red Hill muesli. Wine tasting on site was a great inclusion. Stayed on a Mon and Tues so didn’t get to experience Stillwater restaurant as it was closed. A perfect stay and highly recommended it.

We cannot recommend the Villas more highly. We walked in and just set the fire poured a wine fed the ducks and immediately felt so much more relaxed and welcome. It was so cosy and spacious. Will intend to stay 3 nights if we are lucky next time. Felt like going home to a hug!

AMAZINGGG, such a beautiful villa overlooking a lake & lush greenery surrounding. The surrounding of the villa is breathtaking with beautiful trees, winery & ducks swimming in the lake. The interiors of the villa is simply breathtaking, addition of wood adds a warmth to it. It’s a full house with full kitchen utensils & laundry. I couldnt recommend this place more! I’m definitely going back & can’t wait to plan for my next trip!

The weather was horrible, however there is no better place to stay to hibernate and just relax. The villas are wonderful with the very tasteful renovation. Just relaxing watching the ducks on the lakes was just what the doctor ordered. The wine and tasting centre is also excellent.

Thank you for your review. How lovely that the weather can sometimes force us to stop and relax. I personally prefer the villas in winter to enjoy the fireplace and the sound of the rain on the tin roof... plus the Peninsula is much quieter too. I hope to accommodate you again in the future.

Just right sized villa for a small family - 2 adults and 2 young children. Were there for my husband's birthday. Children loved the place and had fun running around the lovely grounds. Villa was cozy and I admired the stylish furnishings - modern yet rustic. Amazing setting and view of the lake. We hope to be back soon.

This place was absolutely breathtaking and exceeded both mine and my mum's expectations. Breakfast hamper was a great touch to have in the morning (bacon was so yum) on the balcony overlooking the lake and we loved the decor, fireplace, hot tub and just every little detail. Can not wait to come back with my partner for a romantic getaway.. can't think of a better place!!
