Wedding accommodation

I booked the property for 2 nights for my daughter’s wedding at Merne. My daughter, myself and grandma stayed the night before the wedding to chill and enjoy the ambiance of the cottage and surrounds before the big day. Bridesmaids, makeup artists and hairdressers all arrived the next day to spend the morning getting ready. The venue was super close for myself and the rest of the family to return to after the wedding festivities finished.

Bridal party accommodation

Lovely big house with lots of character. Perfect for bridal parties getting ready for a wedding on the Bellarine. I stayed in the extra bedroom which was a separate dwelling just next to the main house. My family stayed in the main house. The seperate dwelling is a lovely room. Nice and modern with a very generous sized bathroom. The main house offers beautiful views and a nice garden with a large lawn to enjoy. Would recommend staying here if you’re needing a place to stay for a large group.

peaceful place to stop and play

This property is exactly as described, nestled in a private spot among farmland, overseeing a vineyard, sheep grazing. Protected by trees and with ocean views, this was the perfect place to come back to after exploring the many wineries and distilleries of the region. Our only mistake? not leaving ourselves a day just to soak in the peaceful space that has been created. A well appointed kitchen, fantastic dining space and a cosy lounge we enjoyed our time here and really and to ensure we dragged ourselves away to catch flights home!

Peace and privacy

We loved absolutely loved our stay at Peta’s cottage and were reluctant to leave the peace and tranquility. Although the cottage is located on a working farm, we were not bothered at all during the day and it was so magical to wander the site after hours as the sun set. Mannerim is well located in the middle of the Bellarine and an easy drive to all the local towns. The rail trail entry is a couple of kms up the road. Note for anyone with limited mobility, there are a couple of small steps onto the veranda. Watching the sunrise over the bay from the bedroom windows/ verandah made this cottage worth the price of entry. Thank you Peta and her colleagues for providing such a lovely space to make lifelong memories.

An inviting and relaxing home surrounded by breathtaking vines, trees and nature.

I stayed at the Lighthouse Olive Oil Cottage during my wedding weekend. My expectations of the property exceeded anything I could of asked for during such a special time. The home itself has everything you need in terms of facilities. It is clean and fresh and as soon as you walk in you feel at home. You then walk outside and are surrounded by beautiful vines, trees, birds singing and pure serenity. Peta is extremely hospitable and made us feel at ease from the very beginning. I truly believe these kinds of experiences are made extra special based on the people/hosts looking after you and for that, our experience was more than we could of imagined. Thank you Peta and your team, we're already trying to plan another stay! xo
