Welcome to Big Blue Backyard!

Big Blue Backyard is your secret, coastal hideaway on the Mornington Peninsula. Designed for romancing, for reconnecting, for relaxing, for relishing time together. At Big Blue Backyard, find the romance, luxury, and rest, you've been looking for!

Big blue Backyard was conceptualised by Paul and Lisa Dempse, way back in the late ’90s. We knew that with our combined hospitality skillset, Paul is an excellent, thoroughly experienced, and chef! With our natural creative abilities and a boot full of inspiration from of working in one of the top safari lodges in south Africa we knew without a doubt we could create our dream of our own sustainable lifestyle business
here we are 20 years later. Big blue Backyard has taken on a life of its own. In deep our heart, we feel it was always meant to be, and deeper still we are very grateful to be custodians of this magical space and place - tied with the tangle of ti-tree and coastal bush to the magnificent bass strait coastline of the Mornington Peninsula on the south-eastern coastline of Australia
