About this property

Palmers Hill - a rambling gem by the beach

A rustic, charming and character filled house, built in 1927 as the original Balnarring farmhouse. Despite this old-world allure it has every modern convenience, from pool to table tennis pavilion to the best equipped kitchen and is the perfect destination for family groups, with three separate sleeping wings. The beach is only metres away down a private path and the enormous verandah has spectacular views of Westernport Bay and Balnarring Beach.

It has hydronic heating in all rooms, air conditioning in the upstairs area and fans in the lower rooms. There are large fire places in the lounge and dining rooms. The kitchen is a large farm style with granite bench-tops and the latest appliances, including a Nespresso coffee machine.

The swimming pool is heated and1.8m to 1m in depth, with a shade sail in summer. Please note that while the pool is heated from November to March, the temperature of the water is affected by the weather. If it's cold overnight, the pool will cool down and take longer to warm up.
Alongside the pool is a large grass strip perfect for cricket and soccer games.

The house has its own private path to the beach. The beach is very safe and ideal for young children. 300 metres around the corner, Merricks offers good surfing and Point Leo (10 min drive) is rated the safest of the top ten surf beaches in Victoria. Balnarring Beach has won the "cleanest beach" in Victoria many times. It has a combination of rocks (ideal for fish and snorkelling) and safe swimming. Western Port Bay is a large tidal bay in southern Victoria, opening into Bass Strait. It is the second largest bay in Victoria.

Palmers Hill is the perfect location for family gatherings. UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE UNABLE TO HOST WEDDINGS, PARTIES OR GATHERINGS WHERE THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE THAN THOSE LISTED ON THE BOOKING.
All guests are asked to be considerate of our neighbours and noise and music must be kept to a minimum in the evening.

The perfect family home
We had a wonderful stay at Palmer’s Hill over Christmas. The house is beautiful and spacious and feels like (a luxurious) home. Comfortable bedrooms, multiple bathrooms and living areas meant everyone had their own space, and the pool and garden is stunning. Would stay again!

Highly recommended - loved our stay at Palmers Hill
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the rambling Palmers Hill house. Full of character and appropriately furnished, with more provisions, cutlery and crockery than I’ve ever seen before in a short stay property. The only quibble was having to bring our own sheets and towels - would have appreciated these being provided, but not a problem in the end. A minor problem with one of the (two) dishwashers was responded to easily. All communication with the host was very friendly. Fabulous for our extended family stay, with space for everyone and all ages happy.
