You've discovered your inner wild woman (or man!) as you trekked dramatic cliffs and rugged coastal trails - go you! Now it's time to relax, recharge, and explore what else this beautiful region has to offer... trust us, Mornington Peninsula is a real treat for the senses.
Indulge your body...
...soothe your tired muscles with a bathe in geothermal pools. Peninsula Hot Springs are an award-winning day spa offering therapeutic bathing and signature spa treatments. Sink into blissful serenity in the mineral waters to restore balance to your body and appreciate this pristine natural landscape from a different perspective - lying down!
Indulge your tastebuds...
...with wine, lovely wine and a smorgasbord of foodie delights along the peninsula. Hop in your car and follow the Wine Food Farmgate trail for a decadent discovery of fresh, seasonal produce, cellar door sensations and other culinary delights. Treat yourself to fine dining at one of the hatted restaurants such as Montalto with its beautiful vineyard backdrop, or explore local Farmers markets to sample seasonal fare straight from the paddock. The choices are endless, but one thing's for sure, you're in the ideal place to satiate that appetite you've worked up!
Indulge your inner beat...
...with live, local tunes and absolutely nothing to do but chill out to the melodies of Mornington amid great wine and beer, and fresh local food. Where better to relax than by an open fireplace, listening to live music and sipping fine beverages straight from the source at local winemaker and microbrewery, Hickinbotham of Dromana? If music is your vibe, dance the night away at the newly opened Verve Bar on Shiraz & Jazz night or get your funk on to DJ Amelia. Be sure to look up what's on in advance, as it changes each night and bookings may be required.
And if you've got some extra time, the Mornington Winter Music Festival is on 10-13 June.
Indulge your love of nature...
...with breathtaking views from the highest point of the Mornington Peninsula atop Victoria's only aerial gondola, Arthurs Seat Eagle. You've conquered Mornington's scenic terrain by foot, now head to the skies for an eagle's eye view over the spectacular sight spanning Port Phillip Bay to the Melbourne city skyline and beyond.
Indulge your mind...
...take a break from the physical and immerse yourself in the Mornington Peninsula's rich cultural and artistic history. Visit the Cape Shanck lighthouse, Victoria's second, and discover local history at the Quarantine Station at Point Nepean. Be taken back to pioneer times touring circa 1800's homesteads, ranging from modest colonial homes to grand mansions and gardens.
