Heart of Red Hill

Perfectly located 700m from Red Hill centre (Epicurean) and 700m from Polperro winery - this is literally the best location for a week[end] away. Recently renovated including freshly painted, new windows and blinds, and new deck. Did I mention we also have two chickens that would love you to collect their eggs each morning? Main bedroom is extremely spacious with a King Bed, BIRs and a glorious view to wake up to every morning. Second bedroom contains double and single beds, BIRs and is ideal for families with small children. Second living room also has couch that can fold out to become a double bed. With an abundance of kids books and family board games you will want to sit by the fireplace with the family (and drink red wine) for hours. Excellent quality WIFI and built in desk means you can easily WFH or stream your favourite shows. Two living rooms, modern bathroom, BBQ, dishwasher and split system air-conditioner/ heaters completes all your needs. With you a beautiful garden filled with camellias and native Australian plants you can wonder around and enjoy the tree lined view, flora and fauna. Registration No: STRA0003/21

Perfection!

If you’re after a home away from home, that feels secluded that you’re in your own little paradise, but so close to beautiful wineries and cafes, this place is perfect! Perfect amenities like the hot tub if you’re not wanting to leave. The house itself is beautifully decorated and Kara’s little hamper is the perfect touch. Fred and Sophia provide beautiful fresh eggs of a morning. Thankyou for sharing your slice of paradise Kara! You made our honeymoon a perfect little getaway.

Lovely house in a perfect location

The property is lovely and literally in a perfect location, with the best wineries and restaurants on your door step and a short drive to ocean or bay side. Kara could not have been a better host, leaving a delicious goodie basket and fully stocked larder (which came in handy due to Easter Holiday store closures), plus books and games for entertainment. The log fire was a particular highlight. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home in a great location

We had a lovely stay at this property, it was a perfect spot for our break. The location is very central, able to walk into Red Hill village and easily drive to other areas on the Peninsula. The home had everything we needed and the garden and setting were so peaceful. Kara was a very friendly and responsive host.
