Delightful stay on a cold and wet weekend

The property is gorgeous and so cozy with the wood fire, and the heated bathroom floor and towel rails are very luxurious. The cottage is meticulously clean, bed super comfy and linen was lovely. We were very charmed by the three sheep. Plenty of walkable options for food and drinks, we enjoyed lunch at the brewery and a wine tasting at Red Ridge (both practically across the road).

Great cottage, great location, totally relaxing

We loved our stay. The cottage had everything we needed and nothing we didn't. The bathroom was very well fitted and I really appreciated a good shower and modern facilities with getaway rentals Living area and couches were awesome and outdoor surrounds really deliver the feel of an escape to nature. We managed to develop a mini friendship with very sweet sheep in the neighbouring property. Yet a few minutes drive down the road and you're right in the middle of red hill. Would recommend for couples getaway

Stringybark Cottage B&B

My partner and I had a wonderful three-day stay at Stringybark Cottage B&B. The cozy and relaxed atmosphere made it the perfect base for exploring the Mornington Peninsula. The cottage was immaculately presented, well-equipped for self-catering. I loved the large, modern bathroom with soaker tub! Our host's breakfast provisions, featuring farm-fresh eggs, fresh bread and raspberry jam were a delightful touch. With so much to discover in the region, we hope to return soon. We highly recommend Stringybark Cottage B&B to anyone visiting the area – it's truly spectacular!Thank you Sally! Cathy & John

Perfect Oasis of Calm

The cottage has been really well set up. It has a great sense if light and space, is very comfortable and practical The bathroom in particular is great with the bath a welcome bonus. The rural outlook makes you feel like you are away from everything yet you are very close to Red Hill South. Just perfect for a couple wanting to get away from everything.
