This charming cottage, set on an acre of delightful country gardens complete with a pristine pool, achieves the perfect blend of original character mixed with modern sophistication, offering the perfect getaway for couples and families looking to experience the best of the Mornington Peninsula. Nestled in an idyllic setting of beautiful gardens and sprawling lawns, Balnarring Botanical Cottage seamlessly blends the much-loved country and coastal elements of the Mornington Peninsula region to create a warm and inviting space that exudes peaceful relaxation and charm. Whether you want a place to curl up and be cosy or somewhere to spread out and enjoy each other’s company, the home has plenty of room for both. A family room has space to stretch out for a movie or a good book while the second living area, featuring a gas fireplace, is where you’ll want to spend a chilly night surrounded by your loved ones. Soaring ceilings in the open plan kitchen, living and dining area add a sense of grandeur while it’s the attention to the detail that gives this space a welcoming ambience and makes it feel like a home away from home. A highlight will be picking fresh fruit or vegetables from the bountiful gardens to create delicious meals in the wonderfully designed kitchen that features a long island bench and high end oven. An impressive dining table with plenty of seating creates a sense of connectedness and ensures mealtimes will be time spent together. Evaporative cooling for the warmer months and ducted heating for when the nights get cool adds to the level of comfort felt throughout this home. Combining classic character with modern touches, all the essentials you need for a memorable stay are provided, like the deep bathtub in the main bathroom which is the perfect spot to soak in quiet moments of peace while enjoying views of the gardens. Opulent bedding continues the sense of luxury in each of the three bedrooms, two of which boast king size beds, while the ensuite in the main bedroom is a place of beauty, bathed in natural sunlight and spacious enough for a large shower that overlooks the garden. Outside, a covered patio with barbecue extends the entertaining space which has sweeping views of the stunning gardens that includes a sparkling inground pool, access to the prolific fruits and vegetable gardens, fruit trees, chook run and children’s play equipment.
