Mount Martha is a good-looking and varied little pocket of the Peninsula. Its small batch of shops has a warm, village feel, with decent cafes and pretty gift stores, while the local landscape swings from houses on bush-lined streets inland down to bird-filled wetlands and colourful beach boxes by the sea.

Mount Martha is a small, relaxed and family-friendly place to call home, full of natural beauty, both green and blue. More and more familes looking for a seachange and time to slow down are choosing Mount Martha as their new home.

In fact, nothing seems more natural than to settle into a cosy home on a tree-lined street or a luxury pad with a sparkling sea view. And with nearby towns perfect for a weekend drive, you’ll feel like you’re on permanent vacation.

Mount Martha’s cosy beachside location provides a lovely backdrop to this family-friendly area. You’ll find many loyal local families who have raised their kids in the area, as well as more mature couples enjoying a stress-free lifestyle filled with both beach walks and bush walks.

Mount Martha does get the summer tourists but its compact size means that it sees fewer than neighbouring towns, leaving it to get on with its laidback lifestyle of a refreshing swim in the morning or a bracing walk along the Balcombe Creek boardwalk.

Particularly on the Esplanade, you’ll find thrilling works of modernist architecture designed for luxurious living and making the most of the nearby bay views.
