Red Hill Forest Escape

Nestled in the forests of Red Hill, this renovated period home was the perfect place to unplug and relax. Arriving to the gentle sound of singing birds, it was incredibly peaceful and I was pleased to discover that the interior was cosy, well cared for and beautifully styled.

Light the indoor (or outdoor) wood fire, pour a glass of red and take things slow. There's such a good variety of local activities on offer too; Merricks General Wine Store, Shoreham Beach and Nordie Cafe were a few of my favourites.
