Unique destination accommodation
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at this lovely new accommodation on the Mornington Peninsula. Not only was our accommodation very comfortable with disability access features (for an injured family member), the picturesque property was a destination in itself. The highlight of our weekend was our welcoming host Miriam, giving us an interesting farm tour of the property, which included meeting some of the rescue horses. We also enjoyed the heated pool and toasting marshmallows one evening. We look forward to returning Miriam. Thanks so much for accommodating us!

Brand new farm escape
Wilindi Estate is a beautiful farm with a number of almost new residences. It almost felt like we were the first to stay, it was all that clean and new. The residences have great internal facilities for a regional foodie visit and well equipped kitchen facilities with all you need to enjoy the areas produce. The bedrooms are comfortable and warm with heating and cooling provided throughout. Our host Miriam, was super friendly and helpful on arrival to help us settle in and get comfortable. We even got to spend sometime with the horses on the farm which was a lovely experience for my daughter. Would happily go back in staying in the area again!

Luxury haven with horses
Miss teenager and I had a relaxing escape at this lovely farm stay. Beautifully appointed cottages with large private garden and good attention to detail. Miriam's commitment to caring for and restoring trust in the horses she has rescued is very inspiring. Aside from admiring these beautiful creatures, we enjoyed a swim in the heated pool, a BBQ on the deck and lounging by the firepit at night. Perfect mix of related hospitality and attentiveness.

Fantastic
We had an amazing long weekend. The cottage is spotless and has everything you could ever want. What you really need to know though is, that this isn’t just your normal holiday cottage. The Farm is a labour of love for Miriam which shines through in all the extra touches. The rental income helps her to rescue and continue to care for horses. This trip was a real experience. We loved having use of the outdoor pool, and Miriam has even more grand plans in the shared spaces. The farm tour that Miriam offers allowed us to get to know the stories of the rescue horses and understand her rehabilitation ethos. My 6 year old has left captivated and I know made some great memories of her new ‘friendships’ with the horses. We look forward to returning, hopefully with friends so we can take all 3 cottages and share this wonderful place.

Amazing 🤩
We had such a wonderful time at this beautiful property. Miriam was a wonderful, friendly and helpful host. She made us feel welcome and respected our privacy. Showing us her beautiful animals, it is clear that she is an amazing, selfless individual. The cottage we stayed in was squeaky clean, very comfortable and fully fenced which meant a lot to us as we had a toddler with us. It was fully equipped with everything we needed. There were activities for the older kids, something for everyone. Thank you so much for making us feel welcome, allowing us to see your beautiful property and involving us in looking after your beautiful animals. We will definitely be back ☺️

We had the most incredible getaway at this property! We were fortunate to be one of the first guests to stay in this newly built and beautifully styled cottage. The surrounding gardens, pool and activities (especially the farm tour, horse grooming and quad bike) were great - our kids had the best time! Miriam is a fantastic host and has put so much thought and care into so many details across the property. We feel completely relaxed after our short stay and would definitely love to visit again.

Family friendly farm getaway!
Our family of 4 were honoured to be the first guests to stay at Wilindi estate in the 'Poplar" cottage. The cottage is absolutely gorgeous, well appointed and is disability friendly. The large terrace was wonderful for the kids and provides a private outdoor space for chilling. The whole property has an English Manor vibe with beautiful hedges, well established trees and lavender/rose gardens. The heated pool is wonderful with lots of chairs and shade/umbrellas for guests. The host Miriam and her family went above and beyond to show us their farm which is home to friendly rescued horses and free range chickens. We were invited to assist with grooming and tending to the horses which we all loved!! The proximity to Mornington makes this property very unique as it has a rural feel but you can be at the beach within 15 minutes. We didn't want to leave and would have extended our stay if it wasn't already booked! We will be back!
