Sustainable House Day 2026

Multiple Peninsula homes open to the public (Bittern, Safety Beach, Rye) plus the Eco Living Display Centre at The Briars.

Worth the drive All weather

Sustainable House Day gives the Peninsula's What's On calendar something it rarely has in mid-May: a reason to move through multiple towns with actual purpose. The open homes span Bittern, Safety Beach, and Rye, which gives the day a natural driving structure rather than the usual single-venue logic. The anchor is the Eco Living Display Centre at The Briars in Mount Martha, a permanent sustainability education site that warrants the visit on its own terms, This is not a festival or a market; it is a set of real homes opened by real owners who have made specific design decisions worth understanding. The audience is design-curious adults, not lifestyle tourists. If that is your register, this is one of the stronger mid-May Peninsula days on the calendar.

Keep planning
