Solanders Retro Residence Calming Days by the Sea

Stroll ten minutes to Dromana Beach, local cafés and shops from this home, rich in classic 1960s character. After exploring the Mornington Peninsula's celebrated wineries, coastal attractions and Peninsula Hot Springs, return to bright interiors featuring vintage furnishings and timeless artwork. A leafy backyard with alfresco dining, a BBQ and pizza oven is ideal for long meals outdoors, while split-system heating and cooling, along with portable heaters and fans, ensure ultimate comfort.
Blending space, natural light and effortless indoor-outdoor living, this home captures the laid-back charm of the Mornington Peninsula. The living area is centred around plush sofas and oversized windows that frame leafy outlooks, filling the interiors with sunshine throughout the day. Settle in with a good book, enjoy a slow morning coffee, or watch some TV and unwind after a day of exploring the coastline and wineries.

The kitchen combines practicality with classic charm. Equipped with everything needed for holiday meals, it makes everything from quick breakfasts before the beach to relaxed family dinners feel effortless. A dedicated coffee station helps start each morning on the right note, while the nearby dining area offers a welcoming setting for group meals, board games and conversations that stretch long into the evening.

Time outdoors is just as enjoyable, with a covered patio and spacious backyard offering plenty of room to spread out and reconnect. Enjoy leisurely lunches around the alfresco table, fire up the BBQ after a day of sightseeing, or gather for homemade pizza nights under the evening sky. The expansive lawn provides space for children and pets to play freely, while the surrounding greenery creates a peaceful backdrop for quiet moments in the fresh coastal air.

There are three comfortable bedrooms, each thoughtfully fitted with portable fans and heaters for year-round comfort. Two bedrooms feature queen-sized beds, while the third offers a double bed. The bathroom retains its original character-filled finishes, blending nostalgic charm with everyday practicality. Complete with both a bathtub and shower, it offers an easy way to refresh after a day at the beach, while a separate toilet adds extra convenience for groups.

A dedicated laundry adds practicality for longer stays, while the large driveway and garage provide ample parking.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!
