  • We stayed in Blairgowrie for Coastrek and really loved the beautifully renovated, stylish space - it’s a gorgeous home and a lovely place to relax after a big day. We had a couple of small hiccups (like no working batteries for the split system and a few limited kitchen utensils) that we solved ourselves. Communication from the managers was very thorough, sometimes a bit more than we needed. Overall, a beautiful home in a great spot, and with a few tiny tweaks it would be even better.

  • This is the most beautiful property, elegantly furnished with all amenities top of the range. It’s in a lovely, peaceful location surrounded by nature and within a 15-20 minute walk to spectacular beaches. It truly is one of the nicest properties we have ever stayed in, and it was extra special to have Kirsten’s artwork on the walls. 5 Star.

  • Relaxing and vibrant. Loved our stay at this fine house in Blairgowrie. Everything worked for us. The location was peaceful, the living room and festoon lighting to outside deck had a great feel. Showers had great pressure and the whole house was clean and inviting. Location was central to everything we wanted, nice coffee and breakfast at St Paul’s, great Italian at Rosebud and shopping at Sorrento. The beaches nearby are all standouts. In all a lovely comfortable stay and would love to return. Great host support also! In all five stars for our visit.

  • Loved staying in this property. Very different - very pink! All the paintings on the wall were for sale (with QR codes and write-ups) if that is your thing. Not really ours. Pretty, newly built/renovated - everything was pristine. Bring your own corkscrew and sharp knives. We borrowed from the very friendly meighbour. Would go again. Very friendly and peaceful aura.

  • We loved our girls weekend at The Art House in Blairgowrie. The house is comfy and gorgeous, with beautiful interiors. the location is perfect for exploring the Mornington Peninsular, close to the stunning Koonya beach and the coastal walk, within easy reach of cafes, and just a ten minute drive from the hot springs. Would definitely recommend!

  • The Art House is a uniquely designed, colourful property with beautiful original artwork throughout. It is in a great location, a quiet neighbourhood in walking distance to Blairgowrie shops and the beach. The property was spotlessly clean and well presented with everything you need. Communication was top notch with a lot of additional information provided. Would definitely recommend and would happily stay again!

  • The Art House is a beautifully presented holiday home perfect for a long or short getaway. The house itself has everything you could possible need for a comfortable stay. The spaces have been very carefully curated to included stunning designer furniture and finishes throughout to give a chilled beach vibe. Perfect for anyone with a keen eye or appreciation for design and style. The light and bright rooms with the sunny aspect and large decks, along with the pastel colour pallet and gorgeous artwork thought out make you feel immediately relaxed and puts a smile on your face. Our group of ladies are already planning to return again in the future to enjoy it all over again. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

  • The Art House is a luxe stay in a great part of Blairgowrie- peaceful, private and with an easy walk to the cute shopping strip and front beach. We enjoyed eating brunch on the deck and cooking dinner in the well-designed kitchen. The house was immaculate and had plenty of space, a five star experience!

  • Light-filled and luxurious. What a stay! Beautifully designed and felt like a real treat going back there after a big day exploring the peninsula. We opted for nights in just to spend more time there. The stunning artworks bring the home to life.
