The Best Mornington Peninsula Airbnbs For A Super Summer Trip

If location, location, location is your thing, then Dimmicks Beach Shack should be on your getaway list. This two-bedroom stay is a mere five-minute meander from the beach and general store, and it’s got an outdoor space so fabulous that there should be no surprise that it’s booked up til 2027 already.

You’re minutes from Blairgowrie Village here, with wineries and coastal strolls on your doorstep, and your pad has a handy outdoor shower which is also accessible from the master bedroom in case an alfresco rinse-off calls.

Our fave bit? The indoor/outdoor living options. There are two dining zones to choose from, with one on a big outdoor deck that comes with a barbecue and drinks fridge so that topping up those holiday vinos won’t be a chore. Oh, and there’s an actual outdoor wood-fired hot tub for sunset soaks, plus a fire pit for gathering around at dusk.

Vaulted ceilings, a mega wraparound deck and even a ping pong table on which you can challenge the crew to a match: say hello to a charming bush retreat within easy reach of everything the Mornington Peninsula has to offer.

If you’re two couples who feel right at home in nature, then this spot is worth a squiz. It’s a peaceful family stay where those in the master bedroom can step right on to the deck and into the gorgeous bushland outside. It also has big windows and doors that you can open up to let the outside in, and there’s a barbecue on the deck so alfresco summer dinners are in order.

Ten minutes’ walk will take you to one of any number of beaches and if you’re after more of an explore, you’ve got hot springs, golf, breweries, wineries, markets and art galleries within a short drive.

Embrace serene country living, and say hello to a pet Jersey cow called Maisy at the same time at this beautiful Mornington Peninsula stay set on a 50-acre country estate (and, yes, you can help out your hosts at feed-time if you fancy).

Wake here and you can enjoy a good feed yourself, thanks to the  gorgeous brekky of locally-sourced produce your hosts supply. Later, you can walk around the farm (with a detour through the veggie patch if you need some fresh stuff for that afternoon lunch).

Your Airbnb may be peaceful but you won’t be short of things to do, as Cottonwood Farm is within three minutes’ drive of Flinders village, the beaches, pier and cliff walks, and you’ve got the 18-hole golf course to play at and wineries to sip at too. Phew!

Tucked up on a serene Mornington Peninsula road, with vibrant art on the walls, lush greenery in the rooms and a whole heap of happy vibes, The Good Place is good—very good—and it absolutely deserves a spot on your getaway wishlist.

This Airbnb has charm galore, and a location that just adds to its epic appeal, being just five minutes from Balnarring village where you can enjoy everything from great coffee and tasty cocktails to a spot of brewery fun and shopping.

Prefer to rest the credit card and enjoy a little beach-time instead? That’s no issue either as you’re just a three-minute drive from Balnarring Beach. Back at base after all the fun is done, you can just pop on the Sonos sound system while you start on dinner in the handcrafted kitchen.

Couples, prepare yourselves for something rather spesh. Ida’s Back Beach Studio is a surprisingly spacious Mornington Peninsula stay that will have you right by the ocean within a 500m toddle.

Wake in your king-size bed and get ready to enjoy that first cuppa of the day with a view of the sand dunes. There’s an outdoor bath to laze in later, as well as a hot tub where you can hang with your fave one and a drop of something tasty.

Those who love a feeling of seclusion will be charmed by this place, and yet you’re close enough to Rye town centre to get everything you need, plus of course you have firm faves like St Andrews Brewery and Peninsula Hot Springs super close at hand.

The charming Straw Bale House farm stay is ideal for couples or solo travellers looking for a peaceful time away from the big smoke and don’t want to break the bank in the process.

The Blue Room within the property features a private ensuite along with access to the lounge and barbeque area for a lazy weekend away from the city. And best of all? It comes in at around a modest cost per night. 

Fancy treating your other half to a luxury romantic stay on the Mornington Peninsula? Lock in Oakstone Estate Guesthouse and you’ll be in the good books for the foreseeable. Located on a rural three-acre property an hour’s drive from Melbourne, this charming spot has views of Balcombe Creek and is close to wineries, national parks and more. 

Your accommodation is in a private and separate building to the main residence and is full of character, with polished concrete floors, a cathedral ceiling and a log fireplace. Step through your bifold doors on to the terrace and you’ll be in for a big surprise.

Tussie Mussie brings French-inspired design to a property a short drive away from the centre of the Mornington Peninsula's wine region. 

This sprawling estate covers three buildings that you can stay in, with sculpture and cottage gardens, a tennis court and even a seven-acre vineyard. 

Ditch the main wineries and play host at your own pace with stunning outdoor space perfect for a long lunch. Smaller groups are able to reserve one or two of the buildings (choose between the lodge, cottage or laundry) if needed, or kick back in one of the best Airbnbs for large groups. 

If you’re two couples with four kids looking for an Airbnb pool stay that’s also just a stone's throw away from the beach, look no further than The Bach. At this pointy-roofed pad, you can spend your days lazing around the heated swimming pool or pottering down to St Andrews or Rye beach for an ocean dive. 

The home comes complete with a sun-soaked alfresco deck featuring poolside chairs, a hammock amongst the trees, a built-in barbecue and an outdoor fireplace, making it the ultimate summer getaway. 

A tiny house and a tiny drive considering the bush surroundings. This quaint little stay is hidden amongst the bush with the farm-style surroundings of Red Hill set to help you feel like you're really getting off the grid. 

With one of Victoria's premier food and wine regions at your doorstep, this Mornington Peninsula Airbnb is worth its weight in gold; a homely refuge after several wine tastings and sitting through a degustation at any of the premium cellar doors in the area.

You are literal minutes away from some of Victoria’s most celebrated cellar doors and restaurants here (including the award-winning Ten Minutes By Tractor), and a stroll from the charming village of Red Hill itself so you are in the right spot. 

Your luxury four-bedroom Airbnb is light and airy and has a whole load of features the whole family will enjoy. Kids young and old will appreciate the pool table, trampoline, swings and cinema zone that comes complete with projector for popcorn-fuelled movie nights. But there’s a separate living area too, with another TV, a striking black fireplace, plus mega sliding doors that open up to the outdoor dining space. 

Sit there with a glass of the good stuff and admire the towering gum trees in your own backyard. Later, you might want to head to the circular seating set around the fire pit (firewood for one evening is supplied free of charge).

Views of the coast, tick. Under five minutes to restaurants, tick. This vista-filled apartment in the central hub of Dromana offers convenience in spades. 

Located far away enough from the main drag near the bordering bushland but with beach access across the road, this Airbnb is a top choice for small families looking for a hassle-free Mornington Peninsula stay.
