Ruby Cottage a sunny accessible unit great for a family small group getaway.

Ruby Cottage is a delightful, sun-drenched retreat that offers a comfortable stay tailored to your needs.
The cottage features two bedrooms: one with a queen-size bed and ensuite, and the other with two king single beds that can be converted into a king-size bed. Purpose-built for flexibility, Ruby Cottage is ideal for a family of four, two couples, or a person with special needs and their carer. The well-appointed gourmet kitchen flows into an open-plan living area that opens onto a sunny deck with a mains gas BBQ and alfresco dining area. Both bedrooms also have access to private decks, perfect for soaking up the sun.

For entertainment, the cottage includes a games room with a billiard table, which also doubles as a quiet space equipped with a desk and fast internet access—perfect for those who might need to work or enjoy some solitude.
Ruby Cottage is perfectly situated to explore the must-see attractions of the Bellarine Peninsula.

Take a leisurely stroll to the Point Lonsdale Village, where you’ll discover unique shops, an op shop, local eateries serving great coffee, and the Noble Rot wine bar for tapas and a tipple—all with stunning views across the Bay and The Rip. Don’t miss the Point Lonsdale Lighthouse and a walk along the pier at the entrance to Port Phillip Bay, a magical experience, especially at sunrise and sunset.

Just a 5-minute drive away, historic Queenscliffe offers rich maritime and military history, with Fort Queenscliffe and the Maritime Museum open daily. For a unique adventure, visit the Bellarine Railway, one of Australia’s oldest privately-owned heritage railways, lovingly restored by volunteers. Enjoy heritage train rides from Queenscliffe every Sunday, with additional rides during school holidays. For a truly special occasion, indulge in a five-star dining experience aboard the QTrain, where you can savor fine cuisine while rolling through the picturesque countryside.

Whilst the furniture style is a bit dated, the general fit out of the unit is really nice. The bedrooms are good sizes and the property has everything you could need on a short-stay beach holiday on the Bellarine Peninsula. Having 2 x bathrooms and an en suite for the master bedroom meant that we were very comfortable there. The kitchen is well equipped with a coffee machine and dishwasher. The property is well laid out with decent Wifi. The billiard room access is also a nice bonus too. It's probably a bit too far to walk into town if you have young kids, but if you had teenagers it would probably be fine (it's about 25mins to Point Lonsdale main shops).

Our party of 3 and one well behaved Kelpie had a terrific time at Ruby Cottage. The accommodation had everything you could want. Extremely comfortable and well appointed. The disabled facilities were fantastic - entry ramp and bathroom terrific and suited our needs with rails and curtain in the shower and rails with the toilet. Disable facilities like this are few and far between especially coupled with such a lovely space. We will return.

Lonsdale Palms is actually three separate cottages on the one property, located a short drive from Point Lonsdale and Queenscliff. We stayed at the middle child, the two bedroom, two bathroom Ruby Cottage. This thoroughly modern, well maintained property is light and airy; spacious and comfortable with all the mod cons, including dishwasher and climate control; large TV and blu ray. Importantly for us Lonsdale Palms is a pet friendly property, and each cottage is securely fenced. The pool room in this cottage is a nice touch as is the complimentary hamper of goodies when you arrive. The owner, Susanne’s, responses to queries were always prompt and helpful. Overall a lovely and relaxing place to come back to after a day at Point Lonsdale beach or dinner at one of the great restaurants in Queenscliff. Recommended
