YOUR HOME Welcome to Balcombe Escape, your perfect coastal escape in the heart of Mount Martha. Beautifully positioned just moments from everything this stunning seaside village has to offer, this spacious family-friendly retreat combines lifestyle, comfort and location with bay glimpses, multiple living zones and effortless indoor-outdoor living.
Perfect for families, couples or groups wanting space to unwind, Balcombe Escape is ideally located within walking distance of Mount Martha Village, the beautiful Balcombe Estuary Boardwalk, football and cricket ovals, the bowls club, tennis courts, and South Beach, one of the Mornington Peninsula's most-loved swimming beaches. Spend your mornings grabbing coffee in the village, afternoons at the beach and evenings relaxing with a glass of wine after exploring the Peninsula's wineries, restaurants and coastal attractions.
Designed for relaxed holiday living, this beautifully presented double-storey home offers three separate living areas, making it ideal for families or groups wanting room to spread out and enjoy their own space. Upstairs, the private parents' retreat creates the perfect sanctuary, complete with bay views, an ensuite master bedroom, a walk-in robe, and a large observation balcony where you can soak up the peaceful treetop outlook, enjoy a slow morning coffee, or unwind at sunset.
At the heart of the home, the fully equipped kitchen includes an oven, dishwasher, fridge, microwave and coffee machine, flowing seamlessly into the dining and living spaces for easy entertaining and connection. Cosy up in cooler months by the indoor fireplace, settle in for a movie night with the Smart TV, DVD player and stereo, or relax with a book while the kids enjoy their own spaces.
The home has been thoughtfully set up for families, with a high chair, travel cot, change table, and plenty of toys, books, and games to keep little ones entertained. A study desk and chair also make it easy for those needing to work remotely while away.
Step outside and embrace the relaxed coastal lifestyle with outdoor dining, an electric BBQ and a fully fenced backyard where kids can safely play while adults unwind. After a beach day, rinse off in the outdoor shower before settling in for an evening under the stars.
Additional comforts include full linen, Wi-Fi, a washing machine and dryer, extra blankets, a bathtub, a separate toilet, garage parking, and everything you need for a comfortable, carefree stay.
Whether you're planning a beachside family getaway, a long weekend with friends or a relaxing Mornington Peninsula escape, Balcombe Escape offers the perfect combination of space, comfort and an unbeatable Mount Martha location. Once you arrive, you may never want to leave.
The house is on a residential street with permanent tenants nearby, so we only rent to mature guests who will remain respectful of our neighbours. The house will be used for relaxation-style holidaying; loud parties are prohibited.
