If a summer getaway is a-calling, there’s a coastal oasis that will answer. Camillo House is a boutique accommodation nestled in the headland of the Mornington Peninsula that offers an idyllic retreat for those wanting a reprieve.
You’ll find the modern, three-bedroom house in the seaside town of Blairgowrie, just a short walk from the sandy dunes of the back beach, where you can take in the beauty of the Bass Strait coastline. There are four living spaces, a fully-equipped cook’s kitchen, four decks with ocean vistas, an outdoor bath and a fire pit. With sleek architecture and touches of mid-century charm bathed in warm hues, it’s a cosy spot to unwind.
Plus, there’s gorgeous art in every room, and the house essentially doubles as a private gallery. The walls are adorned with 25 original artworks, some of them by up-and-coming creatives who have used the home as an artist’s retreat during the monthly residency program.
After perusing the art-laden walls, you can venture out to one of the fifty cellar doors within thirty minutes of the accommodation to sip award-winning drops, or head for a soothing soak at Peninsula Hot Springs or Alba Thermal Springs. It all makes for a holiday that’s the epitome of relaxation. You can find out more about Camillo House by visiting the website.
