Our drive from Werribee to Mount Martha was a smooth one and we chose to take Beach Road and then the Mornington Peninsula Fwy. The drive took about 2 hours, give or take, and the scenery was pretty standard.

When we arrived at The Vines, its just off the main road, it gave us a sense of not being too disconnected from the world but far enough away that we could relax.

The lodgings themselves are so cute and very quaint, set away from the main house and away from the road. The balcony over looks the paddocks that house some horses and sheep (best part of the accommodation for me!!). There are some grape vines set towards the back of one paddock which you can see from the balcony and during Autumn they were glowing gold in the sunset and sunrise. It was stunning to witness.

One of the sheep (Thelma) loves some bread thrown from the balcony and if that makes you want to stay here its even better when you get to witness her run over to greet you in the morning and afternoon to see if you have a treat for her.

The breakfast supplies are aplenty if its just you and another staying the weekend but if you have kids coming along you may need to head to the shops which are very close by.

Staying here was relaxing and comfortable. If you're needing to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is the place. You are still close to shops and a lot of wineries and coffee shops.

Jenny made us feel so welcome and kept in contact with us throughout our stay via text and when we arrived she came to greet us. She was so helpful with any of our needs and suggested some fantastic places to visit. She also has a folder full of different places that you can choose to visit and little notes all around the place to help you out within the accommodation.

One thing that visitors should take note of is Bruce. Bruce is Jenny's rooster who loves to have a good crow early in the morning. Make sure that if Jenny asks you if you want him moved that you answer with a yes please!! That bird can scare the heebie-jeebies out of you!!

Overall I would stay here again. The quaint dressings and comfort of this place will stay in your heart and you will leave well relaxed and happy.
