Love the idea of staying a some of Australia’s best homes with 24-7 concierge service? Want  a 5-star hotel experience in the comfort of a private home? I’m in if it means a family getaway to this 5 bedroom property on the beautiful coastal country of Victoria’s south-eastern Mornington Peninsula. The relaxed outdoor lifestyle features a luxurious pool, pizza oven, courtyard and manicured lawns. Inside it’s all about the free flowing open plan. Close to beaches, wineries and bushland we could definitely make a weekend of it. Stokes via LUXICO, the home hotel.

I thought, at first, that it was the light filled living areas. Perhaps it was the cheery bathing facilities. It wasn’t long though before I had to own the truth. It was that colourful kitchen that had me green with envy. Woodley Terrace by Montgomery, Alabama interior designer Ashley Gilbreath.

Still chasing the real estate dream but this time I’m in the inner Sydney suburb of Woollahra eying off a small but stylish Victorian cottage full of charm, light and art work. Historical details and modern creature comforts make it a perfect city pad. Link here while it lasts.
