Summary:

Cooinda, an Aboriginal word meaning “a happy place” perfectly captures the spirit of this inviting retreat. Nestled in a peaceful pocket of Red Hill South, it is an idyllic getaway for families.

Relax and reconnect with nature in this charming, well-appointed hideaway, just moments from the Red Hill Village and only a short drive to boutique wineries and beaches, it is the perfect base to enjoy the best of the Mornington Peninsula!



The Space:

Cooinda is a serene Red Hill South Retreat surrounded by gardens.



HOUSE FEATURES:



The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, where large windows at either end fill the space with natural light and create a seamless connection to the outdoors. Enjoy the ambience of a cosy wood fire in the cooler months, or open the doors to let in the soft country breeze.



Framed by beautiful gardens, the home offers multiple alfresco spaces perfect for long lunches, sunset drinks or simply relaxing in nature. Families will feel right at home with nearby walking trails, plus a selection of toys, games and books to enjoy.



There are three comfortable bedrooms (two with split-system heating and cooling). The master includes a walk-in robe, ensuite and a desk for those needing a dedicated workspace. The second bedroom opens onto a sunny garden deck with serene views—an ideal spot for morning coffee or an afternoon glass of wine.
