As you drive through the front entrance gates and the magnificent pear archway of the Red Hill Peony Estate, you enter a property that has been in the current owner’s family for 136 years.

The Red Hill Peony Cottage is made from ancient bluestone blocks and is located on the grounds of the Red Hill Peony Estate The cottage itself, is situated towards the back of the 80 acre family property, so is a distance from any other residential building. It provides a peaceful, secluded and classically appointed home amongst the lush green volcanic hills of Red Hill on the Mornington Peninsula.

This old bluestone cottage has recently been renovated, paying close attention to period detailing ensuring that guests feel both relaxed and indulged. The cottage garden and the intimate outdoor living space looks beyond to the  fields of thousands of growing peonies, lilies and dahlias … a truly breath-taking view when in full flower.

Typically, peonies flower from late-October through to mid-December, lilies late-December to late-January & dahlias January to late-March. During your stay in the Peony Cottage, your vases will be filled with seasonal flowers, which you may take away with you, if you wish. The Cottage has its own private and exclusive outdoor entertainment area including a 92 jet SPA for a wonderful massage, a BBQ and a cosy sitting area surrounding an enclosed fire-pit. You can also mingle at a distance with the kangaroos & our resident echidna (if you are very quiet), on your morning stroll through the bush.
