About Crittenden Lakeside Villas

Crittenden Lakeside Villas are three self-contained villas set over a lake at Crittenden Estate, a family-owned winery in Dromana whose vines were first planted in 1982. Staying on the estate puts the cellar door and Crittenden Restaurant within walking distance, which is handy for guests in town for a wedding or a birthday weekend on the Peninsula. The villas are identical in size and outlook. Each has a separate king bedroom, a living room, a full kitchen with dishwasher, a laundry, a wood fire and a north-facing deck with a barbecue. Selected villas add a sofa bed for up to two children or one more adult, with a limit of three adults per villa, and a cot and highchair can be supplied. A group can book all three villas together online, which suits a family or a few couples heading to the same celebration. Each villa has a private carport with ramp entry, and they are set up for assisted wheelchair access with a roll-in shower. Direct bookings include a hamper of local breakfast produce to cook yourself and a wine tasting for two at the cellar door, and stays of two nights or more add a chilled bottle of the estate's sparkling. Check-in is by PIN from 2pm, and Dromana's town centre and beach are close by.

Yes. All three villas can be booked together through the online booking system, subject to availability, by adding another booking before checkout. Friday and Saturday stays still need a two-night minimum when all three are booked.

How many guests fit in each villa?

Each villa has a king bedroom for two. Selected villas also have a sofa bed for up to two children or one extra adult, with a maximum of three adults per villa; the sofa bed needs 48 hours' notice and extra charges apply.

Where do we park?

Each villa has its own private carport right alongside it.

What are the check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is from 2pm using a PIN code, and late arrivals are fine. Check-out is by 10.30am, and early check-in or late check-out isn't offered.

Is there somewhere to eat on site?

Yes. Crittenden Restaurant is a short walk from the villas, serving lunch from Friday through Tuesday plus Friday and Saturday dinners, and the cellar door opens daily from 10.30am to 5pm. Booking ahead is recommended.
