Wellness & Slow Living:

The Stillhouse was designed around one simple idea: slow down.

Start your morning with a yoga session in the dedicated wellness room, followed by a coffee on the deck amongst the trees. Spend your afternoons exploring nearby beaches, wineries and coastal trails before returning home to fire up the sauna and soak beneath the canopy.

The six-person Finnish barrel sauna is one of the property's standout features, offering a genuine wellness experience in complete privacy. Pair it with the outdoor bath and outdoor shower for your own at-home spa ritual.

As the sun begins to set, the balcony hammocks become the perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine while taking in horizon views through the trees.



Living & Entertaining:

The open-plan living and dining area features soaring ceilings, beautiful natural light and calming garden outlooks. A gas log fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere during the cooler months, while oversized lounge bean bags offer the perfect place to relax with a book, movie or board game.

Outside, the spacious grounds provide plenty of room to gather, dine and reconnect. Enjoy long lunches around the outdoor dining table, evenings around the fire pit and lazy afternoons stretched out on the lawn beneath the native trees.

The property feels wonderfully private and secluded, yet remains just minutes from the very best of the Mornington Peninsula.
