Barely an hour and a half’s drive from Melbourne’s CBD, Clifftop is situated on more than three acres of sought-after Phillip Island property. It is blessed with 180-degree panoramic ocean views and private access to beautiful Smith’s Beach.

Discreetly undergoing a meticulous renovation, its ongoing evolution continues to delight returning guests who find something new and wonderful each time they visit. The house’s character is endearing and welcoming, and we love that our guests feel as though it’s their home away from home whilst here.

Summer holidays, winter escapes, weekend getaways, romantic interludes … Clifftop is your idyllic destination.

Whatever the season or occasion, you will find comfort and tranquillity here, far from the madding crowd. And when you do want to venture out to explore vibrant Phillip Island and its fascinating landmarks and attractions, you have the perfect base from which to do so.
