About this property

Escape to the top of the bay

Nestled in amongst the trees in Arthurs Seat, Escape To The Top Of The Bay has something for everyone!!

Gaze out toward the city skyline with 360 deg water and bush views and a broad sweep of the peninsula's hinterland. Sit back on the wide entertaining deck and watch the passing parade of ships, pleasure craft and our beautiful Mornington Peninsula birdlife.

Watch the Arthur's Seat chairlift from the upper level and enjoy the same views people are queuing up to see.

Built on recycled historic bluestone mined in the 1860s and originally used in the lane ways of Brunswick, 3.5 bedrooms are set over two levels with breezy decks. Overlooking stunning Port Phillip bay and Arthur's Seat and close to beaches & shops. On the upper level are kitchen, dining & lounge area which opens onto decks & side covered balcony, large outdoor setting & gas BBQ. The kitchen has a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, cooktop/oven, microwave, dining for 8. Large screen TVs on both upper and lower living areas with Foxtel. There are 2 large bedrooms with Queen size beds, ceiling fans and reading lamps. On the lower level there is a 3rd bedroom with a double bunk bed on the bottom and single bed up top. There is also another fold out sofa on the lower living area if required. All bedrooms have lamps and built in wardrobes. Bathrooms have shower & seperate toilet on both levels. Laundry has washing machine (top load) plus another shower. There are polished floors throughout and timber vaulted ceilings which add to it's warmth and character.

Beautifully landscaped back yard complete with herb garden, fruit and citrus trees. Take a bush walk from the back fence and explore the stunning surroundings. Spot a kangaroo or two on your bushwalk.

With wineries, restaurants and cafes and enchanted maze for the kiddies just a short drive away....

Beautiful views

We had a great stay. The house had everything we needed to be able to cook and eat in, including a spectacular view! The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of pillows. The long driveway provided loads of room for multiple cars to park. Lovely gardens and surrounds.

What an amazing view!

We spent our family Christmas here and had a great time. It’s a spacious, well equipped house with an amazing view of the bay. You can seriously spend hours just sitting on the deck gazing out at the water. It’s up the hill a bit so it’s quite and peaceful but is also only a short drive to the shops. Great running and riding tracks near by. We will definitely return!
