Lindenderry at Red Hill
A stalwart of 30 years on the peninsula, this boutique hotel channels a stylish country house, with generously sized rooms, each with doors leading out to Mediterranean-style terraces or gardens overlooking a landscape of Australian bushland and manicured vines. Room highlights include the vast balcony rooms, with French doors that open to private verandas. The 30-acre estate produces its own wines exclusive to the small hotel group; nonguests can drop in to taste at its cellar door on weekends only. For a casual bite, grab a pizza hot from the oven in the gardens. Otherwise, order ahead a picnic hamper with a bottle of Lindenderry wine to enjoy on the grounds, by the billabong perhaps, or set aside a few hours for lunch or dinner in the excellent in-house restaurant, featuring local organic produce presented with a European twist. Kick-start with a glass of Lindenderry Estate's hard-to-find Blanc de Blanc.
