McCrae Tree House Retreat, Mornington Peninsula

Description from the owner

This luxury five star getaway in McCrae is nestled between Dromana and Rosebud on the famous Mornington Peninsula. The 3 bedroom 2 bathroom character filled house that sleeps up to 8 people will make a brilliant holiday getaway. This totally unique creation oozes warmth and charm. The house is light and airy, with large rooms, modern conveniences (all brand new) and with easy stroll or drive access to pristine beaches, funky cafes, great peninsula shopping, golf, horse riding, wineries and walking tracks.

The stunning coastal bush home was built only 8 years ago from stone, recycled timber, and cedar. From the front door, step into an... informal living space comprising gourmet kitchen flowing to meals area with rustic wood heater. The chef's kitchen boasts a large stainless steel fridge, coffee machine for that perfect latte, 900 mm stove and oven and microwave. There’s a comfy couch in the family room and a flat screen TV to entertain those who aren’t cooking whilst dinner is being prepared.

You walk into the living room with its stunning cathedral ceilings held up by two recycled telegraph poles which form the centre piece of this impressive home. Spacious and charming, the room boasts a second large combustion wood heater, 50" Plasma TV and Home Theatre. Versatile and plush, the modular couches accommodate the whole gang comfortably.

The living room opens out via dual bi-fold cedar doors to patio decking and both sun-drenched serenity and shade cloth options. Enjoy the casual Aussie eating courtesy of a large BBQ with a cold beer or glass of wine. Soak in the hot tub in gorgeous surrounds with Balinese aura while you watch the sunset and wind down for the night.

The sleep set up is flexible and luxurious. Accommodation options are endless. The 3 large bedrooms can sleep up to 8 in total comfort. Upstairs, atop an exquisite timber clad staircase made of old railway sleepers, is an enormous parents retreat or romantic couple escape with lavish ensuite and generous walk-in robes. The space is appointed with sumptuous linen on a queen bed, large screen TV and a great view with ocean glimpses.

Downstairs you have the choice of two double bedrooms both with built in robes. Bedroom Two has four bunks and Bedroom Three overlooking the picturesque front garden has two single beds which can be pushed together to make a luxury king bed.

The fully enclosed native landscaped gardens provide relaxed ambiance and the sounds of bird life that greet you in the morning are the perfect touch to the natural bush setting.

The house is ideally suited to couples wanting a romantic luxury getaway or families (one or two) with children who will enjoy the beautiful landscaped gardens, outdoor spa and back patio. The property is fully enclosed on a quiet street so parents can relax without a worry in the world.

Outdoors includes a large powered work shop, table tennis, double car port and can accommodate parking for caravan or boat.

Only 15 minutes' walk and 2 mins by car to pristine white sandy beaches is the best of all worlds. Stay in and enjoy sumptuous luxury and complete relaxation or spend hours at the beach, chill at cafés or explore wineries, play a round of golf at one of several award winning golf courses a short drive away or pamper yourself at Peninsula Springs.

The McCrae Tree House retreat works equally well as a summer beach holiday destination or cosy winter retreat. This beautiful property as a holiday destination on the Mornington Peninsula has it all!Read more
