Windmühlenhäuschen für Paare auf der Suche nach Erholung auf der Mornington Peninsula

Escape to the country without leaving the Mornington Peninsula.

Tucked away on a beautiful 20-acre farm in Moorooduc, Windmill Cottage is a private retreat created just for two – a place to slow down, switch off and enjoy a little slice of country life, while having the best of the Mornington Peninsula right on your doorstep.

Just five minutes from Mornington, around 20 minutes from Red Hill and less than an hour from Melbourne, the cottage is perfectly positioned for a weekend of wineries, restaurants, beaches, farm gates and exploring – or for doing very little at all.

Your own little cottage in the country

Inspired by the charm of a traditional miner's cottage, Windmill Cottage sits separately from the main farmhouse with its own gated entrance, parking and private garden.

Inside, the cottage has been thoughtfully designed as a couples' retreat. At the heart of the space is a luxurious king-size bed, complemented by a bespoke ensuite, kitchenette and comfortable living space.

Step outside and you'll find an undercover BBQ and entertaining area overlooking the surrounding paddocks. Depending on who's feeling sociable, your neighbours might include the farm's sheep, horses or alpacas.

It's peaceful, private and unmistakably rural – yet Mornington's cafés, restaurants, shops and beaches are only minutes away.

Stay in or head out

Windmill Cottage makes an ideal base for discovering the Mornington Peninsula.

Spend the morning wandering Mornington's Main Street or walking along the beach, head into Red Hill for a long winery lunch, visit local farm gates and producers, explore the Peninsula's spectacular coastline or make a day of the region's gardens, galleries and cellar doors.

Then come home to the quiet of the farm.

Pour a glass of local wine, put something on the record player, fire up the BBQ and watch the paddocks change in the evening light.

And if the weather turns? That's almost better. Stay in, get cosy and enjoy having nowhere you need to be.

A farm stay – Peninsula style

Windmill Cottage is set on our working 20-acre property, complete with animals, vegetable gardens and orchard. We love sharing a little of farm life with our guests while giving you the privacy to enjoy the property as your own retreat.

The cottage has its own private entrance and garden, so you can be as independent as you like.

Perfect for two

Windmill Cottage is particularly suited to:

* Romantic weekends away
* Anniversaries and special occasions

Couples wanting a quiet country break close to Melbourne

Self check-in also means there's no need to rush – simply arrive, settle in and start unwinding.

Country outside. Peninsula at your doorstep. Just the two of you.
