Dolphin
Summary:
Dolphin is a place to slow down, switch off and settle into the easy pleasures of a Mornington Peninsula getaway.
The Space:
This stylishly restored 1970s home has a relaxed modernist spirit, surrounded by a lush garden and an inviting aquamarine pool. It’s the kind of place where mornings drift from coffee in the sunshine to a swim, afternoons are spent on the deck and evenings gather around the fire pit beneath the stars.
The bay beach is an easy 900m walk away, while Blairgowrie village is just 1.8km down the road, with its cafes, shops and relaxed seaside atmosphere. You can leave the car behind and enjoy the best of the area at an unhurried pace.
Inside, Dolphin is light-filled, calm and welcoming, with floor-to-ceiling windows bringing the garden into almost every part of the house. The interiors combine the character of the original 1970s home with furniture from much-loved Australian designers, vintage prints and thoughtful touches that make it feel personal rather than polished.
Outside is where holiday life really happens. The fully fenced garden is a private sun trap, with a generous deck wrapping around the pool, an outdoor shower, long lunches at the dining table and a Weber BBQ for easy summer dinners. Come winter, the wood stove and fire pit create a cosy setting for slow evenings, good food and a glass of something by the fire.
Whether you're heading to the beach, exploring the Peninsula or simply staying put for the day, Dolphin is designed for relaxed, uncomplicated holidays with family and friends.

exelent facilitie and wonderful place to stay but checking in is too late and check out is to early
This house was a great stay for me and my large family. The kids enjoyed the pool and sharing a room. The house was well equipped and had about anything we needed. Outside was very nice and entertaining to stay around. The location of the stay was close to the nearby town while still quite and calm.
I really enjoyed it and would recommend .
