🐿️ I was just nuts about this beautiful house! The garden with a sweeping green lawn, native flowers and Calla lilies welcomed me in to the Nuthouse, and once inside I felt immediately at home. The i...nterior design was delightful, super fun, warm and cheerful. Endless quirky touches to occupy yourself with; great books to peruse, lovely clean pretty bed linens, paintings, records, mod cons (like Netflix) if you’re so inclined. Kids would have a blast in the adorable bunk bedroom with so much colour and whimsy. The shower is nice and piping hot. Everything was spotless and easy to find. I was so cosy and comfy I didn’t really want to leave! You can feed the cheeky cockatoos with coffee on the front porch. Walk to the General Store and have a bit of brekky, potter in the local shops. If you’re a painter or photographer you’re spoilt for locations to drive to within 5 minutes, there are gorgeous ocean lookouts for sunsets, and the air is so clean and sweet. The town of Flinders is mellow and cool with quiet unspoilt streets and some incredible houses to sticky-beak if you’re an architecture nerd. This part of Australia is just stunning!
Thankyou Jamie and Annie for providing such a special retreat and being great hosts. Love your work 😊

Four sisters, one very unique retro escape — we loved every quirky corner of the Nuthouse! The colourful, nostalgic decor made the whole stay feel so special, and being an easy walk to both the Flinde...rs shops/cafes was a bonus. We spent our evenings by the open fire and will be back in summer to enjoy the gorgeous garden. It was such a fun, memorable spot for a sisters' getaway. Can't recommend it enough! Jamie was a fantastic host with lots of information and super quick response time. Lovely hand written note left for us on arrival. Such a lovely touch.

Hi, we are Jamie & Annie
We are mid-century aficionados and love hosting bespoke short-stay accommodation experiences. We've offered short stay accommodation since 2015 across 3 properties and have provided 5 star quality for over 400 guest stays.
We get loads of compliments about our curation of our nutty Flinders beach pad, and we have previously managed other eclectic short stays, both our own and for other home owners.
A bit about us... We spend every spare minute op shopping, garage sale-ing and treasure hunting. Annie loves to sew and craft; Jamie loves to surf and tinker. Between us we have three green thumbs; we like eating out and we love to travel. Our idea of a great holiday is feeling at home, even when we're hundreds of miles away. We've never been lovers of clinical rooms with all white sheets & towels and boring decor. We love curating spaces to infuse them with character and colour.

Exploring The Local Area
Flinders is uniquely positioned at the western tip of Western Port Bay, so it's the heel of the Mornington Peninsula's boot. So you can experience both the wind-protected and mellow bay beaches and the wild ocean shores in the same walk.
Flinders ocean beach features the protected Mushroom Reef, which offers an underwater paradise to ocean lovers and a myriad of breaks for surfers. Inside the bay, the jetty is ideal for scuba divers and snorkellers to discover weedy seadragons, colourful sponges, giant rays and octopus. The pier is also popular with anglers and jetty jumpers.
The bay is also a great place for kayaking and stand up paddling, with some gentle, long waves rolling on the points.
There's a load of great walking options, around the village, beaches or just down the road at the beautiful bushrangers Bay. For those more adventurous, the Two Bays Trail lets you explore the peninsula's green wedge which is rich in biodiversity.

Flinders Sunset
We saw out our Saturday with a ripper sunset on the cliffs of Flinders, adding to the list of favourite places in Victoria. This is the perfect spot for a picnic if it's not too windy.
Cliffside Picnic
We climbed a big cliff with magnificent views of the ocean on top, settled ourselves in with some picnic rugs and enjoyed our home-made egg and salad sandwiches.

Georgie Bass Cafe Cookery
Feeling a bit peckish we hit the cute little town of Flinders for brunch at Georgie Bass Café & Cookery which also offers cooking classes if you're inclined
Pho Flinders
If you've been looking for truly authentic Pho this side of Vietnam, this is it! Originally a pop-up food van, these guys now have their own little shop in the main street.

Flinders Main Street
Handpick beautiful local produce for your time away at the general store, or meet a local artist in one of the galleries. Sweet tooths are sorted at the main street chocolaterie!
