Spring Coastal Getaway on the Peninsuala
Adventure in Rye, Mornington Peninsula, VIC, AU
The Black House Rye sits hidden behind lush greenery, it's the perfect place to immerse yourself in the Peninsula for a calming, coastal getaway.
We arrived to a warmly lit house on a cloudy, dark spring afternoon. The house, whilst roomy, gives cosy vibes and provides a quiet space to unwind. We cooked dinner in the spacious kitchen and enjoyed the comfortable living space.
We slept soundly in a king bed, waking early to catch the sunrise at Flinders before heading over to Cape Schanck for a stroll along the boardwalk to Black Rock Beach. Low tide had us exploring rock pools and watching wild waves crash over the ragged landscape.
Sunlight filtered through the many windows of the house, highlighting the modern boho styling and colour drenched rooms. The porch gives a wonderful space to enjoy a coffee and listen to the sounds of local wildlife. The cocktail bar is a thoughtful touch for anyone booking to celebrate or travel with friends.
We felt happy and relaxed at the Black House, it was a tranquil sanctuary to come back to after our salty adventures.

Stretching out into Port Philip Bay, this popular pier is a hot spot for walkers and fishers. The perfect spot to watch the sun sink below the coastal horizon.
This gorgeous walk takes you along the dramatic cliffs and descends down to spectacular views of Pulpit Rock. Make sure to visit at low tide to explore through the volcanic rock.
Just down the road in Sorrento, St Pauls General Store is the spot for an afternoon coffee to enjoy at the beach.
A beautiful spot to watch the sun come up on a calm day.
