About this house rental

Experience the inspiration and rejuvenation of a serene 13-acre bush retreat, offering stunning views of Foster’s surrounding hills and a southern panorama stretching to Wilson’s Promontory. This unique property blends country charm with coastal living, set amidst beautifully landscaped gardens and forested surroundings, yet conveniently close to the town and the breathtaking beaches of Waratah Bay and Wilson’s Promontory, including Sandy Point, Walkerville, Squeaky Bay, Darby River, and Tidal River.

The contemporary double-storey home is designed for comfort and versatility, providing ample living and accommodation spaces for up to six guests across three generous bedrooms. The master suite features a luxurious king-size bed, an en suite bathroom, and a relaxing spa bath, while the additional bedrooms are equipped with queen-size beds.

The well-appointed kitchen is a chef’s dream, ideal for preparing meals with fresh local produce. Enjoy dining on the outdoor decks, where you can savor the sunset, listen to the chirping birds, and occasionally hear the resident koala say goodnight. For a change of scenery, explore nearby renowned local dining options such as The Fish Creek Hotel, Gurney’s Cidery, and Promontory Restaurant & Winery.

Mhara Downs offers the ultimate escape with total privacy, accessed via a private driveway through a 12-acre natural bush park with remnant eucalypt forest. Discover quiet walking trails, and keep an eye out for echidnas, wombats, wallabies, and a variety of birdlife. This tranquil journey leads to one acre of meticulously landscaped and terraced gardens, featuring lush lawns, organic vegetable beds, BBQ facilities, and a swimming pool.

The home also boasts sustainable living features, including solar hot water, a grid-connected photovoltaic system, double-glazed windows, and home composting facilities. It’s a perfect holiday retreat for those who cherish panoramic views, ample space, privacy, comfort, and a deep connection with nature, all within walking distance of Foster township and a short drive to nearby coastal resorts.

It’s like a secret hideaway. Barely a two-minute drive from Foster, you wind up a sweet little path and the house appears at the top of a hill. I was surprised by the spaciousness of the house and how gorgeous the views were. You can see rolling hills and trees from most rooms, but the best view is from the veranda where you can enjoy a coffee and listen to the quiet murmuring of many different birds. There’s a Nespresso machine, a great pool for warm days, adjacent BBQ (didn’t use it but I know a lot of ppl like to) and a big garden to explore. All rooms were clean, comfortable and well-equipped. Multiple living and dining areas! We never even made use of one of the lounges nor the formal dining area. RE the comment by another reviewer about the hot water running out quickly: this only seemed to affect the upstairs bathroom in the evenings so, if we all wanted to bathe after a busy day, we just made use of the downstairs bathroom. Wi-fi was excellent but weirdly Netflix was occasionally patchy in the evenings from the tv, so we would switch to watching Netflix from our own laptop which worked fine - never seemed to be an issue when the kids were watching cartoons in the morning. Foster is great for exploring Prom country. Visit Fish Creek if you’re a Noni the Pony fan! Atticus bookstore make a great coffee. Decent pub and bakery with friendly staff. We were lucky enough to be there when they had their craft market on. Overall a lovely experience - highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay at Mhara in Foster. The property was isolated in suburban Foster up a hill with a magical view. The facilities were excellent. The hot water became an issue if you wanted to shower after dark. We did not receive any replies to our queries during our stay which was a bit frustrating.
