Why we’d goThe only Peninsula villa where the water is directly underneath you, three private chalets built over a five-acre lake, closer to the English country-house tradition than anything else in the region.
Woodman Estate is the Peninsula's most distinctly pastoral villa option, and it is not trying to be a vineyard stay. The three standalone chalets are built directly over a private five-acre lake, 4-poster mahogany beds, marble bathrooms, double spa baths with lake views, gas open fires, private balconies. Daily housekeeping and breakfast delivery are included, which is unusual in the self-contained villa format.
The 50-acre English country estate has formal gardens, natural bushland, a rowboat, tennis court, and billiards room. No vines, no cellar door, the argument is pastoral rather than wine-country, closer to the English country-house tradition than anything else on the Peninsula.
Managed by Property Mums. Restaurant status on-estate should be confirmed directly before booking.
