Building in Mount Martha.

Mount Martha is a stunning escarpment suburb on the Mornington Peninsula, where dramatic clifftop blocks offer panoramic views across Port Phillip Bay to the Melbourne skyline.

About the Suburb

Mount Martha at a glance

Mount Martha is the Mornington Peninsula's quieter and more residential counterpart to Mornington, a suburb of steeply sloping coastal blocks, pandanus-lined beaches, and a community that prioritises relaxed Peninsula living over the social intensity of the inner suburbs. Blocks often run 700–2,000 m² and many sites deliver extraordinary Port Phillip Bay views from elevated positions. For Varcon, Mount Martha projects are some of the most topographically demanding and visually rewarding: homes built for outlook, for privacy, and for the natural environment they inhabit.
