Rye Baby by Ready Set Stay- Main & Guest House

Welcome to Rye Baby, a newly renovated coastal dream home.

This is your true beachside holiday on the stunning Mornington Peninsula, 600m from the beach, 5 mins drive to shops and restaurants, access to the entire house and guest house. Great for families or a group of friends with WIFI

7 bedroom, 5 bathroom home (inc the guest house) abounds in spaces large enough for a large group also suitable some quiet time. Multiple living areas, sleeps 18 guests with a well equipped landscaped pool.

THE SPACE
Perched high, Rye Baby is a luxurious executive home providing lovely views. Warm, luxurious and stylish, and spanning over three levels of wonderful living with the guesthouse on the lower level separate from the main home, this is a spacious home ready to create wonderful memories.

Rye Baby allows you to immerse yourself in a beautiful location where coastal living perfectly collides with Australian charm. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing beach getaway to soak up the sun or chill out amongst the rolling hills of vineyards in the exquisite Mornington Peninsula hinterland sipping on the region’s finest Pinot Noir, there is something for everyone.

The open plan gourmet kitchen has all your cooking essentials and will have you cooking up a storm like Curtis Stone or Jamie Oliver. With ample refrigeration, there is plenty of space to store artisan food produced by locals that you can pick up at the many local markets, or along the “Wine Food Farmgate Trail” in the Mornington Peninsula hinterland. Don’t forget to pick up an award-winning bottle of Pinot Noir for which the Mornington Peninsula region is famous, or perhaps a bottle of Pinot Gris or Pinot Grigio – two of the newer varietals in the region.

Amidst tropical landscaping, enjoy your morning coffee on the private side deck, or soak up the warm morning rays of sun on one of the sun lounges on the entertainment deck - the choice is yours. Stay at Rye Baby, there's plenty of space for everyone to escape and find their little piece of paradise in the home, both inside and out.

You will feel like you are in a tropical escape while relaxing by the private swimming pool.

Amazing place

I stayed here with my family, and we enjoyed our stay. The house was great, and the location is amazing. The only thing I could pick on is that, when we arrived and inspected the house, I just thought it wasn't clean enough. The floors were very dusty and needed vacuuming and couch covers needed a wash, besides this, everything was excellent.

Simply amazing

We recently spent a nice weekend enjoying the Mornington Peninsula. Our stay at Rye Baby was very relaxing. The home was spacious with lots of natural light. There were activities to keep our large group entertained and the amenities were much appreciated by all. The home was nicely decorated with plenty of space for everyone. Location wise it is walking distance to the beach and a few mins drive to the Sorrento strip. We will definitely be back!

Exceptional!

We were on the lookout for a coastal location to celebrate my wife's 50th birthday with her extended family, and after looking at well over 100 properties online, we settled on Rye Baby. And boy oh boy, did we ever make the right choice! Plenty of space for everyone, multiple living zones, excellent kitchen, great outdoor seating on verandahs, and close to shops in both Rye and Blairgowrie. The photos here do not do this property justice - it is perfect! Cannot recommend this property highly enough to anyone who may be looking for a similar family getaway - it is brilliant!

Nice place but not as advertised

Nice big place well located. It’s in real need of some maintenance. The pool gate lock was broken putting our little kids in danger. The pool heater pump was broken so it was like ice and do unusable. The wooden decking was rotted red through and dangerous. The bbq caught fire because there was so much grease / fat left over from the previous use. The wifi wasn’t working but someone came to fix that. We made the most of it, we didn’t want a bunch of workmen coming over everyday fixing stuff. By the end of our stay we felt there were too many issues impacting our enjoyment & experience so we asked for some token discount - we sent this list of issues to the owner at checkout and was told “I cannot offer you a partial refund as we never had any opportunity to rectify the issues for you as we were not made aware of any issues…”. So beware of this, if you do stay here”
