There’s a newly renovated luxurious bathroom with claw-foot bath, rainhead shower plus an additional powder room. The kitchenette/dining area offers a cosy wood heater, farm house dining table for eight & cooking basics*. Outdoors, you'll love the deck & open air dining area with a green views over grassy open eucalypt forest. Our pool and pool deck are visible from Elsewhere's deck area, but are a bit off to the side. Guests can enjoy the beautiful pool between the hours or 3 pm and 5 pm, while at other times it remains for private owners' use. The spa is not available for guest use.

Elsewhere is a stylish cottage with its own parking & entrance, situated adjacent to the owner’s residence, which is separated from the cottage by just a few metres of garden & deck. Although your privacy & ours is important to us, there is a certain “togetherness” in the way our property is laid out in the outdoor areas. You can see a corner of the main house in one of the external photos. For privacy & safety reasons Elsewhere is NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 12.

*Council restrictions mean we can only provide cooking basics: There is a full family-sized fridge & pantry however. Other than that, there's a microwave/grill, portable induction hotplate & electric frypan, dishwasher, washing machine, Weber Q barbecue, & plenty of pots & utensils.

Elsewhere is located down a quiet country lane with parking right out front in Red Hill South & is perfectly central for accessing wineries & for wandering the whole Peninsula.

Located in the hinterland heart of the Mornington Peninsula but just 6 mins' drive to Merricks Beach, you can easily get to all the favourite local spots.

We're 5 minutes’ drive from our local darling, Merricks General Wine Store. Home to a fabulous cellar door showcasing a range of local wineries, plus some of the region’s best breakfasts & lunches, you'll also love their art exhibitions & popup retail events. A 45-minute walk from Elsewhere via the Merricks-Red Hill Trail will also get you there.

We are lucky enough to live surrounded by natural bushland & forest. Home to wallabies, echidna, koalas & a rich variety of bird life, our neck of the woods offers a much-needed disconnection from city life, a bit over an hour’s drive from Melbourne.

Easy walking access to the Red Hill - Merricks trail, a favourite hiking, equestrian & mountain bike track, at the end of our lane (5 mins walk).
