About this property

Sunbather - Merricks Beach

  • Sunbather is a relaxed family getaway in beautiful Merricks Beach, just 200 metres from the foreshore. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two separate living areas, there’s plenty of space for families to come together, enjoy a beachside break and make the most of time away on the Mornington Peninsula.

    Designed for year-round stays, Sunbather features split system heating and cooling, along with an indoor fireplace for cosy evenings after a day by the water. Outside, the firepit is perfect for gathering under the stars, while the BBQ makes family meals easy. With space to relax both indoors and out, Sunbather is a wonderful base for beach days, exploring nearby wineries and discovering the Peninsula’s walking trails and coastal villages.

    Bedding Configuration
    Master Bedroom: King bed with ensuite
    Bedroom 2: Queen bed
    Bedroom 3: Two sets of single bunks, sleeping four

    The main bathroom is complemented by a separate powder room, and off-street parking is available for up to three cars.

    Set in the laid-back surrounds of Merricks Beach, Sunbather is ideally placed for enjoying the best of the Mornington Peninsula. Spend your days swimming, walking along the foreshore, visiting local wineries or exploring the region’s charming villages, before returning to the warmth of the fireplace or gathering around the outdoor firepit. Whether it’s a family beach holiday or a weekend away together, Sunbather offers a welcoming base to slow down and enjoy the coast.
