SLOW STAYS

Rewind the clock and pause the frenetic pace of modern life in this pet-friendly beach shack on the Mornington Peninsula. Set between the ocean and the bay, Kirkwood Coastal is one of the original shacks found here, dating back to the 1940s, but its humble bones have been given new life, setting the scene for slow sojourns, flooded with natural light. Take a short five-minute stroll to the back beach, rinse off afterwards under the outdoor shower, and spend the rest of your time reading, playing games and enjoying nourishing meals at the outdoor table by the firepit. Sprinkle some bath salts into the wooden Japanese soaking tub and enjoy the Olie body products, made on the Mornington Peninsula, in the pastel-hued bathroom. This three-bedroom shack is made for family getaways with plenty of low-fi entertainment supplied (and all your favourite streaming services for back-up).
