Vintage Coastal Escape Above Port Phillip

Perched above Port Phillip Bay and backing directly onto the protected beauty of Sunshine Reserve, this Mount Martha retreat is a soulful blend of vintage Australian beach-house character and relaxed contemporary comfort. From the moment guests arrive, sweeping bay views, birdsong, and coastal breezes set the tone for a stay defined by calm, connection, and effortless escape.

The home embraces its 1970s roots with warmth and personality, layered with Canadian cottage, inspired décor and thoughtful modern updates. Light-filled living spaces open to multiple decks and outdoor zones, each offering a different vantage point for morning coffee, long lunches, or unforgettable sunset moments over the water. Indoors, the atmosphere is cozy yet open, perfect for slow evenings, shared meals, and quiet reflection.

Accommodation is generous and flexible, with four bedrooms and three bathrooms designed to comfortably host families or groups of friends. Each bedroom enjoys its own outlook toward the bay or surrounding greenery, reinforcing the home’s strong connection to its natural setting. The layout balances togetherness with privacy, making it ideal for longer, more restorative stays.

Outside, an expansive garden invites guests to unwind, play, or simply wander. A private gate leads directly into Sunshine Reserve, opening access to walking trails and nature paths right from the backyard. Whether exploring on foot, relaxing in the garden, or heading down to the iconic Pillars nearby, the experience is one of quiet immersion rather than crowds or rush.

Located in a peaceful Mount Martha neighborhood, the home offers ample parking and an easy rhythm of living. Local shops, cafés, and beaches are just minutes away by car, while the reserve at your doorstep ensures a sense of seclusion rarely found so close to Melbourne. This is a place to slow down, reconnect, and create lasting memories surrounded by nature, nostalgia, and coastal beauty.
