Hilltonia Homestead

EVER WANTED TO FEEL LIKE LORD AND LADY OF THE MANOR? Lay in an antique bed and imagine all manner of royal romps? Are four-poster beds with the full organza drapes on your wish list? Or will you be dreaming of an African adventure?

Take your pick at Hilltonia Homestead where four sumptuous B&B suites and five themed cottages make the choice very taxing. The suites are part of the main homestead – the Loft occupying the entire first floor and the Retreat featuring a double spa. The cottages are tucked away in the surrounding tea tree bush.

Stunning views of the bay, beautiful sunsets and total seclusion combine with Hilltonia Homestead's quirky themes: go for rustic romance in the Settler, the elegance of the past in the Victoria, or a nautical outlook in the Coral complete with porthole and a full glass shower with its own coast view. Outside, there’s a lagoon-style pool, tennis court and even a small olive grove.

Gourmet deliveries

Hilltonia suites have breakfast delivered to their door, while cottages have brekkie hampers. Whitecliffs Restaurant in neighbouring Rye does gourmet deliveries. What can’t you do? Cycling, riding and the beach are minutes away. If that’s not enough, you’re in the heart of Victoria’s scenic Mornington Peninsula, famous for its world-class golfing fairways and of course its vineyards.
