South of Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula narrows between Port Phillip and the open waters of Bass Strait. Vineyards, orchards, beaches and low coastal hills give it a distinctly relaxed character.
Experiencing Mornington Peninsula
Taste cool-climate wines, linger over produce-led lunches, walk cliff-top trails and use hot springs or spa time to slow the pace further.
Planning your stay
The peninsula is close enough for a day trip but much better as an overnight stay, especially when combined with Melbourne or continued travel towards Phillip Island.
