01 / Country-house hotelRed Hill
Lindenderry at Red Hill
A hotel among gardens and vines, with a dining room and cellar door on the property.
Check before booking Room types differ. Check dining and cellar-door service for your dates.
Red Hill & Red Hill South
Make Red Hill your base.
Choose an estate stay or a private Red Hill base. Let lunch run long.
Red Hill and Red Hill South are the focus. Dromana, Merricks North and Fingal are different bases.
The short read
The address changes the weekend.
Red Hill is a dispersed food and wine landscape, not a walkable hotel strip. An estate stay keeps vines and dinner close. A private villa or cottage can give you your own kitchen and a quieter evening. Confirm the exact address, dining service and transport before reserving.
01 / On the estate
Let the vineyard set the pace.
These are Red Hill and Red Hill South stays where the bed is part of the estate. Dinner and cellar-door service still need their own plan.
02 / Villas among vinesRed Hill
Polperro Villas
Four couples villas on Talland Hill vineyard, each with an indoor spa and open fireplace.
Check before booking Polperro says its villas are not suitable for infants or children under 16. Villa and restaurant are separate bookings; minimum stays may apply.
03 / Architecture and suitesRed Hill South
Port Phillip Estate
Six vineyard suites at a design-led winery with an estate dining room.
Check before booking Guests must be 16 or older; under-18s need adult supervision. Choose the suite and reserve dining separately.
02 / Your own front door
Keep the evening to yourselves.
Villas and cottages suit a quieter Red Hill evening, whether you want your own kitchen, a vineyard setting or a private bath.
01 / Private villasRed Hill
Cassis Red Hill
Five adults-only villas overlooking a neighbouring vineyard, rather than rooms on a winery estate.
Check before booking Two villas have mineral plunge pools; three have outdoor baths. Select the exact villa.
02 / Vineyard cottagesRed Hill
Treetops at Red Hill
Peppercorn and Winemakers are two private-entry cottages at an artisan vineyard.
Check before booking Layouts differ. Breakfast provisions are described for Peppercorn; check inclusions.
The local logic
Let the day end where you meant it to.
Plan one serious lunch and leave space around it. Red Hill's roads and cellar doors are spread across the ridge, so a nearby bed is useful for more than a short drive. If dinner matters, check its service calendar before choosing a room.

Same trip, different base.
These Peninsula stays are outside Red Hill and Red Hill South. Choose the base that suits the trip, then plan the Red Hill part separately.

Before you reserve
Check the exact stay.
These choices are not a ranking. Room, villa, breakfast, bathing and dining details can differ within one property. The operator's current details for your dates are the final check.
Researched from published sources. Every venue listed was reviewed April 2026 or later.
Booking-age rules checked 1 October 2026: Polperro Villas, Port Phillip Estate guest terms and Cassis guest terms. Confirm the exact villa or suite for your dates.
Brewer's Cottage update, checked 1 October 2026: The operator says the cottage is closed for short stays and rented for 2026. It is not in this booking shortlist. Read the cottage notice. This does not describe the brewery's trading status.
Is Jackalope in Red Hill?
No. Jackalope is in Merricks North. It can suit a wider wine-country trip, but it is a different base from Red Hill or Red Hill South.
Is Peninsula Hot Springs accommodation in Red Hill?
No. Peninsula Hot Springs accommodation is in Fingal. Choose it for a thermal-led trip and plan the Red Hill part separately.
Are all the villas on a winery estate?
No. Polperro Villas and Port Phillip Estate suites are on their estates. Cassis is a private Red Hill villa collection overlooking a neighbouring vineyard. Check the exact address before booking.
