Rippingale Holiday Rental

Rippingale is the perfect rural retreat located in a beautiful pocket of natural beauty.

Rippingale is the perfect rural retreat, located in Moorooduc - a beautiful pocket of natural beauty often overlooked within the heart of the Mornington Peninsula and within easy access of the City. Relax and unwind in our comfortable one bedroom cottage, recently renovated to retain its cosy rustic character and charm, set amongst nine acres of native vegetation and wonderful bird life.
Rippingale is a self-contained one-bedroom cottage with separate bathroom, living, dining, and kitchen. A wood fired coonara and split system air conditioning/heating provide comfort in all conditions. A flat screen TV, DVD and stereo provide entertainment throughout the day, and the espresso coffee machine will get you off to a good start. The Bedroom features a king sized bed and a child size single bed with spectacular views across the valley. An infant cot is also available. Enjoy the outdoor balcony overlooking rural hinterland with BBQ facilities. Internet access is available on request.

DINING

Milk, tea and coffee and eggs (if our chooks are laying!) will be provided. Guests will however need to cater for themselves. We have a fully equipped kitchen which includes an electric oven, microwave and espresso coffee machine. A BBQ is located on the balcony outside. Alternatively, you may choose to dine out at Ciao Bella pizzeria in Balnarring or a host of award winning local wineries. For an unbeatable breakfast option, drop into Lilo Cafe by Fisherman's Beach in Mornington and say hello to our friends Maryke and Mark. Moorooduc Estate vineyard is across the road and provides gourmet sandwiches between 12 pm and 3 pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

ACTIVITIES

Take a walk in the idyllic countryside or play a few holes on the Devilbend golf course located nearby, before heading off to the bustling sea-side town of Mornington for an evening meal or winding down and watching the sun set with a bottle of wine on Mills beach. We are 15-20 minutes from Red Hill, Balnarring Village and Mornington Peninsula's best beaches. Take a stroll at dusk through the woods at the end of Woodlands Road only 2 kms away. You may be lucky enough to spot a kangaroo or two. Visit Red Hill Community Market, or one of the 23 other markets that the Mornington Peninsula has to offer. There are many antique stores and vintage sheds nearby where you're sure to find something you just have to buy - Tyabb Packing House Antiques and The Vintage Shed are a good local start. And finally, what better way to spend an afternoon than pampering yourself at the Peninsula Hot Springs. Entering the bathing area is like stepping into another world, a sanctuary where the mind and body are calmed by the steam, the sound of running water and the casual banter of bathers. It's a place where time is forgotten.

HOW TO GET THERE

Travelling from Melbourne along the Frankston freeway continue straight along to Frankston Flinders Road then Moorooduc Hwy until you come to a roundabout at the intersection of Eramosa Road. Turn left into Eramosa Road then take the first right into Derril Road. Cross Bungower Road and Mornington Tyabb Road then continue along the dirt section of Derril Road, past Moorooduc Estate Vineyard and Rippingale is a further 100m on the left with a wooden letter box and an electronic gate. When you enter the driveway, Rippingale is directly in front of you.
