About this space

Whimsical yet opulent, playful yet meticulously crafted—The Peninsula Dollhouse is a one-of-a-kind photoshoot location on the Mornington Peninsula that merges design fantasy with true luxury execution. Created in collaboration with Kate Walker Design and brought to life by Cahill Building Group, this grand residence is a visual feast from every angle, offering endless variety and styled moments across its expansive footprint.

From the moment you enter the breathtaking foyer, you’re immersed in a world of fine detail and high design. The home features six distinct bedrooms—each styled with its own personality—alongside four fully tiled bathrooms, a moody whisky room, and two separate living zones. The main living area is vast and inviting, with an open fireplace flanked by two oversized marble island benches that anchor the space with sculptural elegance.

Natural light pours through the home, bouncing off soft tones and high-end materials, making every corner camera-ready. A lift lined with Gucci wallpaper, a mudroom with individual lockers, and a spacious butler’s pantry are just a few of the design flourishes that elevate both form and function. Every detail feels intentional, yet deeply creative—designed not just to impress, but to inspire.

Step outside, and the home’s charm only deepens. The pool and spa area conjure a tropical escape, framed by a generous alfresco zone with suspended couches perfect for lifestyle content or brand shoots with a relaxed, elevated feel. Two large lawn areas, lush garden backdrops, and a playful kids’ zone create even more versatility for campaign work, especially for family-focused brands or editorial storytelling.

And then, of course, there’s the façade—the “dollhouse” magic. Think double-stacked porches, soft pink shutters, a classic cupola, weathervane, and sweeping bay views that layer the scene with romance and nostalgia. It’s a home that evokes memory while sparking new imagination—just as suitable for fashion editorials and promotional film work as it is for aspirational brand campaigns.

Located on the Mornington Peninsula, this location brings together scale, light, character, and high-end styling in one unforgettable setting. With an 8-hour minimum, it’s made for serious production teams who need space to create and the visual payoff to match.
