The Mornington Peninsula is an exceptional destination - so diverse, so untapped. Right on Melbourne's doorstep is a region crammed with attractions, festivals, events and accommodation options.

Activities abound on the Peninsula from golf, tennis and swimming to horse riding along windswept beaches, bush walking and bird watching. Take the opportunity to leave the beaten track to find some amazing local works of art. What about getting lost in a hedge maze? Or does the sound of swimming with the dolphins raise the temperature?

Hungry or thirsty? With over 50 cellar doors, 170 vineyards, u-pick fruit and vegetable farms and a myriad of restaurants there is something to suit all palettes. Feel like feasting on freshwater trout at a winery? Or trying the culinary delights of some of Victoria's top, most well renowned chefs? Does the alfresco café scene without the city pollution tempt you? These are only a handful of the food and wine experiences available on the Peninsula. For those of you who prefer to whip-up your own delights than the range of fresh and quirky local produce should tickle the imagination.

From one of Victoria's icon National Parks - Mornington Peninsula National Park Point Nepean, French Island (home of the largest, disease free Koala population in Australia) through to magnificent coastal and bush walks, woodlands, wetlands and unique coral reefs, the Peninsula is a nature lover's paradise.

For those wishing to stay longer there are accommodation options to suit everyone's tastes and budgets. From camping on the foreshore or in a caravan park, hotels and motels, guesthouses and backpacker hostels through to luxurious bed & breakfasts, resorts, self contained cottages and apartments.
