Ruby Cottage at Lonsdale Palms

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.
