With its extraordinary rolling hills, lush woodlands and unique townships, the Mornington Peninsula is considered a gem of Victoria’s extended coastline.

The Mornington Peninsula is located just over an hour from Melbourne and is a coveted destination abundant with engaging hideaways and eclectic eateries, promoting an electric atmosphere which attracts an annual intake of over 8 million domestic and international visitors.
