The home of Five Star Australia, Mornington Peninsula is one of our favourite Australian regions. We can never get enough of driving the Peninsula’s sensational winding roads and exploring this gourmet loving coastal playground from back beach to front. If your visiting you really must try a bathing experience at Peninsula Hotsprings, our favourite is always breakfast and bathe. Wine and cheese platters at Independent Wine Store on a sunny afternoon are a local tradition, and lunch or dinner at the casually elegant Cakes and Ale shouldn’t be missed.
