Escape to this whimsical cottage on the Mornington Peninsula. Enter through the tiny French doors into this gorgeous, slate roofed, board and batten cottage for two and you'll find a sweet cast iron spiral staircase winding up to a romantic sleeping loft with antique queen size bed smothered in luxury linens and pressed tin ceilings above, softly lit by candlelight chandeliers. Enjoy views over the tea trees from the arched window.
Downstairs is the living area where you can share a wine or two on the Rococo sofa or french cafe setting while you soak up the ambience of the antiqued walls, timber floors and high pitched ceilings with quirky bookcase and silvered tin ceilings. A kitchenette with microwave and small fridge has all the utensils you'll need. Enjoy the luxe bathroom with large shower, limestone mosaic tiles, chandelier, Dorf fittings, leadlight and nickle-plated features and ultra soft towels and robes. Pamper yourself with the Gilchrist & Soames luxury amenities range.
It's only 1500m to the nearest bay beach for a wander along the sand, or the fun of boating and snorkelling activities. For those who prefer the surf it's a quick drive to spectacular ocean beaches with sandy dunes and rocky cliffs. Fabulous local wineries are within 15 minutes drive through picturesque surrounds. The renowned Peninsula Hot Springs is just a few minutes away where you can soak to your heart's content in the healing mineral springs, or indulge in a therapeutic massage. A 'Pure Indulgence' package is available, with Hot Springs Bathhouse priority passes.

Valentine's Day 2015 - What can I say, you have truly captured 'Romance'. You set the scene for a very special Valentine's Day weekend. Brian and I have been married for 15 years and have travelled to far away places but never realised we only needed to go a 'short distance from home to feel like we are 'a world away.' We feel very blessed we had the opportunity to stay in your 'Silverleaf Cottage.'

What exquisite taste you have! I was charmed by this gorgeous cottage as soon as we started walking up the path. Thank you for all your thoughtfulness that has gone into providing such a beautiful place for us romantics to rest in as we meander.

On one of the coldest nights of the year Silverleaf Cottage was cosy and warm and romantic. The attention to detail was superb and every whim was catered for. We awoke to bird calls and sunshine through our window and feel as if we can return to the hustle and bustle with a song in our hearts! The dappled light through the window was divine...loved the garden!

Magical stay in the heart of Rye! Location, decor, garden and surrounds was artfully curated and magical. It was like staying in a cottage straight out of a fairytale. Landscaping was beautifully maintained and loved every little detail.
