Solara House

Solara House, Mount Eliza: A Nostalgic Escape to the Glamour of Yesteryears with a modern twist. Nestled in the picturesque locale of Mount Eliza, Victoria, lies a hidden gem that harks back to a bygone era of elegance and leisure – Solara. As its Latin name suggests, this sun-kissed abode is an ode to the golden days, drawing inspiration from the iconic poolside glamour captured by the legendary photographer Slim Aarons.

Vulcano Gelato

At Love the Pen, we have a confessed weakness for good gelato, a preference that easily trumps ice cream. The silky-smooth texture, the intensity of flavours, and the lower fat content make gelato a superior indulgence. Unlike its ice cream counterpart, gelato is churned at a slower rate, incorporating less air and resulting in a denser, more flavourful experience. It's served at a slightly warmer temperature, allowing the true essence of the ingredients to shine through. And let's not forget, it's an Italian masterpiece that has captured hearts globally.

South Beach Project

Going out for a brunch of avocado on toast and a perfectly brewed flat white is a weekend ritual for many down Mt Martha way but the eclectic menu also includes dishes such as Fried Noodle Omelette, Mexican Grain Salad, Cauliflower Cous Cous & Korean Fried Chicken Burgers. As a region, we are spoiled for choice when it comes to exceptional cafes and South Beach Project fits neatly into this bracket.

Volpino

With a strong emphasis on fresh and local produce, Volpino offers an array of Mediterranean inspired seasonal dishes to compliment the classic wood fired pizzas that are a mainstay of this vibrant, beachside venue. The deck is super sized and a perfect place to soak up the winters sun, unwind and dine alfresco with friends, family or as a couple. Add a unique, hand selected wine list and you have the perfect ingredients for a memorable day or night out. To borrow a famous Australian phrase, it’s all about the vibe and it’s this attitude that inspires us to follow the boys from Volpino.

Balnarring Beach

Here's an extremely rare opportunity to secure a sensational 1440m2 home site that offers sweeping water views around the coves to Somers and beyond. This unique enclave formed from the original Palmer's Hill Estate which is now enjoyed by just a few has a protected position sheltered away from the south westly winds and expansive / elevated water views.
