Tucked beside the vineyard lake, Crittenden Lakeside Villas winery accommodation on the Mornington Peninsula offers something increasingly rare on the Mornington Peninsula, a place where everything you need for a memorable stay is right here.
From your villa, it is just a short stroll to both the Cellar Door and Crittenden Restaurant, creating a seamless experience of wine, food and accommodation in one setting.
Crittenden Restaurant
At the heart of the property, Crittenden Restaurant offers a relaxed yet refined dining experience that reflects the season and the region.
The menu is shaped by local produce and guided by a wood-fire kitchen, bringing depth and character to each dish. It is thoughtful without being formal, making it just as suited to a long lunch as it is to a more intimate evening meal.
Guests can choose to dine indoors by the fireplace, on the deck overlooking the lake, or out on the landscaped terrace when the weather allows. Each space has its own rhythm, but all share the same connection to the vineyard surrounds.
For villa guests, the ease is part of the experience. There is no need to drive or plan, simply wander across, settle in, and enjoy.

Many villa stays include a complimentary tasting, making it an easy and enjoyable way to settle into your time on the property.

Everything in One Place
What makes a stay at Crittenden Lakeside Villas unique is the ability to enjoy it all without leaving the property.
Start your day slowly in your villa, take in the vineyard views, wander to the Cellar Door for a tasting, and finish with a long lunch or dinner at the restaurant. In between, there is space to relax, explore the surrounding region, or simply do nothing at all.
It is this balance of comfort, quality and convenience that defines the experience. A true all-in-one retreat on the Mornington Peninsula, where great wine, thoughtful food and lakeside accommodation come together effortlessly.
