Stanicks Estate Guesthouse sits within the property's 25 acres. It's off-grid luxury at its best. Enjoy the stunning views of the sunrise over the vineyard and the lake beyond. There are wallabies, kookaburras, wedge tail eagles and an array of other bird and wildlife to watch.

The Red Hill and Merricks North walking trails are just outside the gate, (the Epicurean Red Hill and Merricks General Store await you at the end of each for a coffee and cake or a more substantial meal). Options abound on the Peninsula and at the end of your day you'll return to the luxury of the Guesthouse to enjoy nights that are silent, feeling a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life. (well, there will be frogs and crickets serenading you as you drift off to sleep).
