Set over a peaceful vineyard lake in Dromana, our fully self-contained villas offer a unique opportunity to stay on a working winery, with a restaurant and cellar door just a short walk away.
Each of our three private villas is designed for comfort and space, featuring open-plan living, a full kitchen, wood fireplace and a private deck overlooking the water. Whether you are visiting for a weekend escape or a longer stay, the villas provide a relaxed and self-contained base to experience the region.
Crittenden is one of the few places on the Mornington Peninsula where you can stay on a winery with an on-site restaurant and cellar door. Enjoy a long lunch, wine tasting or a quiet evening in your villa, all within the one property.
Located just minutes from the Peninsula’s beaches, wineries and farm gates, the villas combine a sense of privacy with easy access to the region’s best experiences.
The king bed may be split into two singles upon request. We can also provide a queen sofa bed upon request suitable for 2 children (surcharge applies).
All 3 villas are identical in aspect, size and configuration. If you would like to book 2 villas or all 3 villas, this can be done by “adding another booking” during the online booking process under “rates and availability”.
Single night stays may be available on weekends- subject to availability and an extra surcharge.

Wow, Crittenden Lakeside Villas is the place to be! From the beautiful scenery, onsite vineyard and watching the ducks and ibis in the lake, it was the most romantic getaway, so tranquil. All the amenities in the beautiful villa was enough to keep you entertained, not the mention the beautiful bath. My only advice, stay for more than one night!! I feel as though we didn't have enough time to properly explore the grounds, we were practically crying when it was time to check out." Caitlin, March 2026
"Absolutely loved our stay at Lakeside Villas. I was convinced the online photos were heavily edited but it really is that picturesque. The grounds are impeccable and the accommodation was fantastic. On-site restaurant was amazing and so many great places to visit close by. Looking forward to our next stay!"- Mike, April 2026
"The villa was even more impressive in real life than in the pictures! We were blown away. It was true luxury, the bathroom was amazing and the bedroom was huge. All very clean, beautiful products and provisions, and we loved the fire and the wine tasting. Great location to explore the peninsula. I would highly recommend!"- Nina, Jul 2026
