About this property

Loved 4BR Family Haven on 3/4 Acre - Scenic Boardwalk walk to Beach

  • Welcome! My name is Tim, and it’s my pleasure to open my family home to you.

    This isn't a cold, commercial rental property — it is a genuine home and family sanctuary that I personally live in and love whenever guests aren't staying. Because it’s a real home, it has a warm, lived-in soul, comfortable spaces, and everything you need for a relaxing, authentic getaway with family, friends, and your pet.

    A Truly Private 3/4-Acre Oasis

    Unlike standard quarter-acre suburban blocks lined with close neighbors, our home sits on a sprawling ¾-acre property backing directly onto the 65-acre Citation Reserve. You’ll feel the quiet calm as soon as you walk in and look out across the lush green reserve from the kitchen.

    - Native Birdlife: The wrap-around balcony, shaded by James Stirling and Silver Birch trees, is an incredible spot to hear native birds over morning coffee or watch kookaburras up close in the afternoon.

    - Scenic Boardwalk to Beach: A peaceful 20-minute stroll along the Balcombe Creek estuary boardwalk takes you straight into Mt Martha village and down to the beach.

    It’s the perfect way to start the day, enjoy some quiet solitude, or walk the dog away from busy roads.

    Comfortable Family Accommodation

    Designed for group catch-ups and multi-generational stays, the house comfortably sleeps adults and kids alike:

    - Spacious Master Bedroom: Generous private retreat.
    - 3 Queen Beds: All with new or near-new mattresses for a restful sleep.
    - Kids' Setup: Bunk room (sleeping 2) plus an extra single mattress for friends.
    - Outdoor Living: The expansive wrap-around deck has hosted many unforgettable summer evening dinners surrounded by trees and quiet reserve views.

    Pets & Welcoming Spirit

    - Pets Welcome: We love pets, and with prior permission, your furry family member is very welcome to join you!
    - 12+ Years of Happy Guests: Over more than a decade of hosting, the feedback we hear most often is how deeply peaceful, grounding, and restoring a stay here feels.

    Feel free to reach out if you'd like to ask any questions or request a visit to inspect before booking. We’d love to share our retreat with you!

    (Please note: Minimum 3-night stay post-Christmas/January. Registration no: STRA0172/18)

Really amazing property, we had a wonderful stay with our family. I think our dog Banjo enjoyed the trip the most, big back yard to play in and wonderful walking trails along the creek and beaches. Lovely house with lots of room. Kitchen / laundry facilities all really good. Great communication from the hosts. Highly recommend.

Property was well presented and clean. Beds were comfortable. Upstairs had good A/C which was needed on a 40 degree day! Lovely outlook amongst the trees. Excellent location.Downstairs bathroom has a shower over bath with a considerable step down and temperature of shower hard to regulate due to low pressure, this is not suitable for elderly visitors however upstairs bathroom excellent and suitable.

The property was really well presented, very clean and lots of space with lovely views over an expansive garden, and a wraparound verandah, which everyone enjoyed. Lots of games for entertainment, a generous kitchen and lounge area, and a large yard, which backed onto a reserve. Surrounded by bushland and only a 20-minute walk into the welcoming village of Mount Martha and its crystal-clear beaches.The property is in a quiet location and there is plenty of space for people and dogs. The large yard is fenced, but it may not be secure for dogs, so it's worth considering bringing a gate for the front entrance.Great holiday location!

Sweeping greenery views

We loved our weekend at this spacious beach house! Tim was a thoughtful and attentive host. The setting is divine, with green views as far as the eye could see. We had breakfast and drinks/dinner on the large, wraparound verandah each day, marvelling at the quiet and birdsong. Access to the boardwalk/trail was a highlight for daily exercise and the short drive to the beach was ideal

A Retreat in Nature

The location is amazing adjacent to the Balcombe santuary and if you have dogs, this is a great place to be as there are many walks for them. The house however needs updating with the aircon not being available in the master bedroom upstairs making it diffcult to sleep on warm nights despite having fans.The host was well responsive to messages and this was reassuring that our needs would be catered to even before we arrived.

Private Oasis

A cosy home surrounded by an amazing treed vista. Walking tracks literally at your finger tips for both family and furry friends to enjoy. A very spacious home for everyone to find a place to relax and chill out. The kitchen was very well equipped for any dish that we wanted to cook up. The kids loved the boogie boards provided. It certainly made our days at the beach full of fun, so a big thanks.

A Very Welcoming Getaway

The property was exactly what we were anticipating & more with access to Balcombe Reserve & the boardwalk running along Balcombe Creek to the beach. The balcony deck around the house was excellent & a great place to relax as the teens played badminton on the large lawn area below - we even dusted off the frisbee. The property was well maintained for its age & very comfortable. Tim was an exceptional host & responsive to a couple of our minor enquiries. The only drawback was our stay was too short at this awesome location. We will book again & can recommend all aspects of Tim's "Family Beachside Holiday House". Appreciated, Greg & crew

Christmas stay at Mt. Martha

During the year if Covid with on again , off again holidays it was great to finally get away. Great communication with the owner helped remove anxiety about the hire of the house. It was in a fantastic position where we could walk along the boardwalk every morning to the beach for coffee. Xmas was fabulous and even our ‘care’ dog loved it.

Great dog friendly house

We recently spent 6 nights here with our 2 golden retrievers. The property is in a beautiful, peaceful part of Mount Martha and very secuely fenced. The house was comfortable and warm. Tim was fantasic to deal with. We are looking to move to the area and it was a perfect place to explore from. If you are a dog owner there are lead free beaches and a very large bushy area that is part of the Briars that is also off lead.
