About Red Hill South
Red Hill South is a semi-rural locality on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, situated approximately 75 kilometres south of Melbourne's CBD within the Mornington Peninsula Shire. With a population of 708 residents spread across 15 square kilometres, the locality is characterised by small farms, rural residential acreage, and rolling hills draped in vineyards and orchards that form part of the region's renowned cool-climate wine country. The median household income reflects its appeal to lifestyle-oriented residents, including Melbourne tree-changers drawn to the peninsula's combination of natural beauty and relative proximity to the city.
Red Hill South sits within the heart of the Mornington Peninsula wine region, surrounded by acclaimed cellar doors, farm-gate producers, and artisan food businesses that have made the area a weekend destination for Melburnians. The nearby township of Red Hill is famous for its popular Saturday morning community market, drawing visitors from across the peninsula. Port Phillip Bay beaches to the west and the ocean surf beaches to the east are both within a short drive, while Frankston and its transport links to Melbourne are accessible in under an hour, making Red Hill South a compelling choice for those seeking a rural lifestyle without fully leaving the city's orbit.
Red Hill South falls under postcode 3937 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Nepean (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
