Mhara Downs Country Escape

Be inspired and rejuvenated by a tranquil and peaceful 13 acre bush haven overlooking the surrounding hills of Foster with views south to Wilson's Promontory, providing both country and coastal lifestyles.
The property is set in superb landscaped gardens and forest surrounds, close to town and the magnificent beaches of Waratah Bay and Wilsons Promontory i.e. Sandy Point, Walkerville, Squeaky Bay, Darby River and Tidal River.
The contemporary and spacious double storey home offers a variety of living and accommodation zones with a capacity of sleeping 6 in 3 spacious bedrooms. The main has a king-size bed with ensuite and spa bath and the other rooms have queen size beds.

The kitchen is a cook’s delight with access to fresh local produce and choice of dining areas. Dining on the outdoor decks watching the sunset, listening to the birds and occasionally, the resident koala saying goodnight is pure delight. Alternatively, enjoy nearby notable local restaurants, such as The Fish Creek Hotel, Gurney’s Cidery and Promontory Restaurant & Winery.
Mhara Downs offers the perfect getaway with complete privacy, entry gained by its own driveway through a 12 acre natural bush park of remnant eucalypt forest offering several quiet walks, sometimes spotting an echidna, wombat or wallabies and a variety of birdlife. This all leads up 1 acre of landscaped and terraced gardens including lawns areas, organic vegetable beds, BBQ facilities and swimming pool.

The house features sustainable living design including solar hot water, grid interactive photovoltaic system, double glazed windows and home composting.
A holiday for those who appreciate panoramic views, space, privacy, comfort and nature.
Walking distance to Foster township and a short drive to choice of coastal resorts.

Spacious property, beautiful views.
It’s like a secret hideaway. Barely a two-minute drive from Foster, you wind up a sweet little path and the house appears at the top of a hill. I was surprised by the spaciousness of the house and how gorgeous the views were. You can see rolling hills and trees from most rooms, but the best view is from the veranda where you can enjoy a coffee and listen to the quiet murmuring of many different birds. There’s a Nespresso machine, a great pool for warm days, adjacent BBQ (didn’t use it but I know a lot of ppl like to) and a big garden to explore. All rooms were clean, comfortable and well-equipped. Multiple living and dining areas! We never even made use of one of the lounges nor the formal dining area. RE the comment by another reviewer about the hot water running out quickly: this only seemed to affect the upstairs bathroom in the evenings so, if we all wanted to bathe after a busy day, we just made use of the downstairs bathroom. Wi-fi was excellent but weirdly Netflix was occasionally patchy in the evenings from the tv, so we would switch to watching Netflix from our own laptop which worked fine - never seemed to be an issue when the kids were watching cartoons in the morning. Foster is great for exploring Prom country. Visit Fish Creek if you’re a Noni the Pony fan! Atticus bookstore make a great coffee. Decent pub and bakery with friendly staff. We were lucky enough to be there when they had their craft market on. Overall a lovely experience - highly recommend!

Fabulous Foster
We enjoyed our stay at Mhara in Foster. The property was isolated in suburban Foster up a hill with a magical view. The facilities were excellent. The hot water became an issue if you wanted to shower after dark. We did not receive any replies to our queries during our stay which was a bit frustrating.
