mount martha
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.
Mount Martha’s neat shopping pocket includes some lovely cafes like Via Battisti, as well as vintage stores in small arcades, a good supermarket and a quaint, old-school post office. Away from the water, you’ll find lush lunches at vineyards and places like The Briars. Being a family-friendly area means access to a number of schools, as well as a decent network of buses going in either direction.
