Mornington Peninsula’s greatest strength is its
diversity. Surrounded by the Ocean and two bays, water is its central
theme. Visit the rugged Bass Strait ocean coast, the wetlands in
Westernport and the safe bathing beaches on Port Phillip Bay.
Then there are the wineries, golf courses, mazes,
gardens, art galleries…..the list of things to do goes on and on..
Historical homesteads and horse riding adventures,
restaurants, a cheese factory and even a brewery await your discovery.
Complement your visit to the Hot Springs with another
of the fabulous experiences the Peninsula has to offer.
It is a place like no other and one that will please
you with its delights time and time again with each return visit.
