The space
Rich with history, surrounded by native land and brimming with cosy, old-world appeal. Bask in the tranquil scenery at Pip's Place.  

Originally a Hydro building, Pip's was relocated to Lisdillon in the 1960s. It has recently been freshly renovated. Imagine sipping on a coffee in the morning, admiring the views of the sea and rivulet, then at night curl up by the fire with a glass of pinot noir.

Wander to Lisdillon’s 5km private coastline of three pristine beaches with just a few minutes walk or bask in the cottage’s quaint garden.

Deck & cottage gardens
Open the door to a large deck overlooking the estate, perfect for lounging with a glass of sauvignon blanc in hand.

Private river waterfront
A short walk down the hill from your cottage you will discover your very own private waterfront spot to relax and watch the black swans float past.

Two bedrooms plus a sun room/third bedroom
Make yourself at home in these cozy rooms—one with two singles, the other with a queen bed waiting for you to jump in. The sun room/third bedroom has a day bed that converts to a single bed. 

Open-plan dining & living
Enjoy a selection of board games, books, literature on Lisdillon’s history, or simply relax next to the crackling wood fire.

Modern kitchen
Complete with an espresso machine and a selection of teas. Well equipped with a gas stove to cook up a storm with local ingredients.

Modern bathroom
Featuring a large shower, bath and toilet. 

Second toilet/laundry
There is a second bathroom consisting of a toilet and laundry sinks. Please note: There is no washing machine. 

Private beach
Lisdillon Estate is one of the few lucky places in the world that has its very own private beach. Lisdillon's property extends to low tide mark so its boundaries grow bigger and smaller every second! Even though it is private and most of the time there won't be another person in sight you will occasionally come across other guests and people who rent shacks on the farm.

Private river
Take a moment to breathe and unwind on a quick stroll to the nearby river.

Lisdillon Wine
Taste and/or buy a bottle of Lisdillon's award winning Pinot Noir and Sav Blanc. Order prior to your booking so it is waiting in your cottage when you arrive OR order when you arrive and have it delivered to your door.

A fisherman’s haven
Trot down to the seafront of the Lisdillon Estate or rivulet and enjoy all the aquatic life on offer. We ask that all fish caught in the river and estuary are on a strictly catch and release basis (unless you are going to eat them) in order to preserve the environment of the river and estuary.

The sea out the front of our property offers bay flathead, salmon, squid cod, crayfish, and so much more. In the Lisdillon Rivulet, you’ll also find bream, oysters, brown trout, native galaxia and many other creatures.

PLEASE NOTE about the tv: it has streaming channels but no regular tv channels.

PLEASE NOTE about modifying dates: You are welcome to modify the dates of your booking. However we will not accept the modification if it is within 5 days of your arrival date.

Guest access
- Private river with plenty of fish to catch (and release)
- Private beaches (while the 5km coastline is owned by the Lisdillon Estate, you may see a few other guests from time to time)
- If you have a boat you can take it out to sea in front of our property

Other things to note
Water consumption:
We switch between the river and tank water, although both are filtered and safe to drink, some people still prefer to bring their own.

You are welcome to use the kitchen and cooking supplies (we will provide a more detailed list after booking). We advise guests to do their main grocery shopping before they get here as we are located 21km from the nearest town.

Make the most of the expansive lands by walking, swimming, fishing or bringing your kayaks and exploring the river and coastline.

The award-winning restaurant Piermont is only a ten-minute drive. Other local adventures include whale watching, bike riding, quad bike touring, and more.
