About this house rental
Waratah Hills Homestead is set on 4 acres with breathtaking views of Wilsons Promontory, Waratah Bay, Shallow Inlet and Corner Inlet. An imposing bluestone home with feature leadlighting, Waratah Hills Homestead is a very special place to come and celebrate, holiday or just relax. Suitable for couples, one or two families or a group of friends. Fast and free WIFI too!
A large open living area is the centre of the home with a dining table to seat 10 and two lounging areas, one drenched in sunlight under the large central skylight and the other with unimpeded views of Shallow Inlet, Waratah Bay and Wilsons Promontory and an impressive wood fire and bluestone chimney.
The Master bedroom has a full sized ensuite with spa, striking stained glass window, walk in robe and views from both bed and bath. The third bedroom is set up for children with puzzles, games, teddies, duplo, train set and plenty of books.
Main bedroom: 1 Queen bed
Second bedroom: 1 Queen bed (additional single mattress available)
Third bedroom: 2x King single beds (additional king single mattress available)
Fourth bedroom: 2x single beds
Also available = 2 portacots, 2 toddler mattresses, 2 high chairs.
The fourth bedroom is accessed through the main bedroom making this 'wing' perfect for one family, sharing the ensuite and the other 'wing' (second and third bedroom) perfect for another family sharing the main bathroom.
The kitchen is large and well equipped with an Ilve stove and cook top, KitchenAid saucepans and frypans and Nespresso machine and coffee pods for your use. Drenched in early morning sunlight, enjoy the large breakfast table and bench seats that can hold all guests. Quality serving platters and bowls make entertaining easy. Toasted sandwich machine, hand blender, all the BBQ accessories you will need and sharp knives make this an easy kitchen to work in.
Outside you will find a huge deck with comfy couches, two large impressive umbrellas and an outdoor table that can seat ten. Look up and find our frequent visitor, a koala, in the trees around the house. There are also plenty of outdoor games on offer; skittles, boules, quoits and a giant game of pick up sticks!
The gardens, over 1 acre, are abundant with birds and native plants. With plenty of lawn for children to run and play, cows in the paddock and wildlife (hence the no dogs policy), Waratah Hills Homestead has it all for you to enjoy your stay.
Just 15 minutes to your choice of stunning beaches: Sandy Point, Waratah Bay, Walkerville or Shallow Inlet and 15 minutes to the gates of Wilsons Promontory and all it has to offer. A short drive to Fish Creek and its cafes and art establishments, Foster and its wonderful Market, cool climate wineries (Waratah Hills within 5 minute drive), Agnes Falls, Koonwarra and Stony Creek Go Karts make this a perfect destination for whatever your preferred pursuit on your next holiday.
Included in the rate is all linen and cleaning supplies, unlimited Wifi plus extras; towels, hand towels, tea towels, bath mats, sheets, pillows, pillow slips, doonas, dishwashing detergent, clothes washing detergent and lots of little things that might make your stay easier if you are entertaining (eg. Nespresso coffee pods, flour, olive oil, tomato sauce, salt and pepper grinders, milo, tea bags, sugar, cocoa powder, gravox, cous cous, pasta, rice, baking powder) and picnic baskets. Just turn up!
And finally, to keep the costs down, we just ask that you wash your dishes and put them away, take your rubbish out to the bins and leave the house tidy. We love it when you treat our house like it's your house!

Had a wonderful time at this property. The house had so much character, the fire place made it warm and cozy. Perfect place to spend a weekend with friends.

Waratah Hills was a perfect place for us to stay. We had a range of generations and the house provided us space for both family time together and quiet time to ourselves. Also when the weather wasn't conducive to beachgoing we had the space in both house and gardens to organise activities to make our stay very pleasant. The views from the house are terrific and the location excellent for those who want to visit the Prom, but have more space for going home to. Thank you to our hosts who were very helpful.

We had such a lovely time in this beautiful house. We could have stayed so much longer and explored the area. We saw a few koalas from the kitchen window and the views are absolutely spectacular!
My only complaint is that the photos do not do the place justice. It’s much nicer in person and would recommend updating them to really show the place off.

Really stunning home without being precious. View is breathtaking, when i arrived i did not want to leave the garden. Managed our adult group on 10 fairly well but suits 8 better. Lead light windows add a beautiful touch. Hosts generous in what is provided in the kitchen and family areas (a few more tea towels may be beneficial). Kitchen managed lots of food prep, fire beautiful as the cold comes in. Enjoyed the surrounding area: beaches, prom, Alison Lester gallery, Waratah hills winery made a great treat for an alfresco lunch. Hopefully i get to go back again, i feel lucky to have had an Easter with my family in such a beautiful location.

Magnificent views. Close to beaches and towns. A beautiful, artistic, craftsman home with lovely garden and outdoor spaces that suit our three generational summer retreat. A great country kitchen to turn the great local produce into memorable family meals. A week is barely enough

This property is lovely, the view is just awsome. The home is spacious, very well appointed, little extras left in the pantry and better equipped than most we have stayed in. The countryside was worth investigating, such a pretty part of Victoria. I highly recommend.

We hosted a special birthday weekend here as a base for hiking Wilson's Prom. What a delightful and enchanting property with everything you need for a great stay. We absolutely loved the stained glass, vintage decor and fireplace during what was the coldest weekend for 3 years! Despite the wet weather, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and it gave us plenty of time for boardgames by the fire. The rooms are clean, comfy and warm. Kitchen is well-equipped. Plenty of room for lovely dining at home experiences and although we didn't use the outdoor seating area due to the rain, it was still lovely to walk around and enjoy the garden with the magnificent views. Kate is excellent to communicate with. We absolutely enjoyed our stay! Thank you for having us.

Waratah Hills Homestead is such a lovely house, spacious, comfortable, very well equipped kitchen, beautiful garden and fantastic views. Our extended family of elderly parents and teen had a very enjoyable stay. It was close enough to Wilson's Prom to make several day trips when the weather was good and stay in and enjoy the cosy fire when it rained. The extra blankets and heaters for the bedrooms also kept us toasty warm on cooler nights.

This place was absolutely gorgeous! The photos in the listing did not capture the real beauty of the place because it was more beautiful in real life. We truly had such an amazing and relaxing holiday in this serene house and we couldn't be grateful enough to Kate and Scott who accommodated us very well. They were literally one message away for any questions we had in mind. They accommodated us to check in early despite late notice and that was the best part as we were able to make the most out of their stunning place. The view was also divine and waking up to a beautiful sunrise was a bonus. I would highly recommend Kate and Scott's place and we will definitely be back. Thank you Kate and Scott.

Very well kept, wonderful view, and everything needed was present and good quality and in good condition. Particularly liked that a fire was set up with enough wood, and that everything provided (even the coffee pods) was generous. Awesome property.

Our stay at Kate and Scott's place was perfect. Such a beautiful home (we loved the high ceilings, stonework and Alison Lester art!). So peaceful waking up to the sun rising across the Prom, such a magical place. Comfortable, well stocked with everything you need and great supply of children's books and toys.
Will definitely be booking again next time we are in the area!

Found the property perfect for our family. The various extras from books to board games and milo was much appreciated. A lovely setting in beautiful condition. We enjoyed interacting with echidnas and possums. Was a great base to explore the region. Highly recommended.

We (two families with young children) had an incredible stay at this beautiful homestead. Not only was the property itself so well equipped - for adults and children alike - but the views are spectacular and the hosts were so responsive and helpful. Even when our two younger kids left two beloved toys behind, they were quick to pop them in the post so they were returned asap. Generous hosts, incredible property. Highly recommend!

A unique property and location. Fabulous views overlooking Waratah Bay. Experienced severe storms during our stay that led to the loss of electricity to part of the home. Communication with owners during this period was both cordial and constructive. Every effort was made to rectify the problem.
Had an enjoyable stay.

Waratah Hills Homestead offers spectacular views towards Shallow Inlet and Wilson’s Promontory. The house is charming, spacious, well appointed and very comfortable. Our grandchildren enjoyed jumping on the trampoline, exploring the garden and playing the board games provided, while adults relaxed in the tranquil surroundings. Waratah Bay, Sandy Point, Foster and Fish Creek are all easily accessible from the homestead.
We had a wonderful family holiday and have already booked for next year.

Our extended family of six adults and three children ranging in age from under two to early 70's had a wonderful time at Waratah Hills. The stunning views, peaceful setting, beautiful leadlight spaces dotted with lovely artwork, stacks of toys, books and outdoor activities, great kitchen and proximity to beaches ticked all our boxes. A blissfull retreat.

Spacious craftsman built home with lots of beds in beautiful rolling hills countryside. The property was perfectly presented and had everything we needed. Huge dining table; great for the jigsaw at one end. Plenty of books, puzzles etc for both adults and children. 2 king single beds and no bunks make it suitable for adult groups. We loved it.

Thank you very much for a lovely stay in this beautiful unique house. Our family group of 8 was easily accommodated and we enjoyed the weekend very much. Had lots of space, everything we needed and we particularly liked the well-equipped kitchen and sitting in front of the great fireplace. Wonderful views of Wilson’s prom from the beautiful hilltop location.

The house is amazing with all the amenities you could need. The fireplace was prepared and all we needed to do was light it and add the supplied logs. Loved the view. Kitchen had everything you would need to prepare a variety of meals. Loved the bathrooms snd stain glass windows snd doors. Would love to return for a longer stay.

Photos do not do this property justice. The home is beautiful and cosy with everything you may need and the gardens and views are breathtakingly beautiful.

Spectacular!
The home, setting and views at Waratah Hills Homestead are absolutely spectacular, and beyond our hopes when we booked. The fire kept the house warm during wintery nights, the house is equipped with everything you need for the stay, and all the details make for a beautiful homely stay.
The views over the hills to the inlets and ocean are breathtaking.

We would love to stay again.
