The Location
Just over an hour from Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula is where rolling vineyards meet golden beaches. Our summer retreat will be hosted in a stunning coastal home (with a pool, and within walking distance of the beach), offering the perfect mix of relaxed luxury and laidback coastal living.
You’ll be able to spend your mornings with a book by the pool, afternoons exploring local wineries or dipping your toes in the ocean, and evenings with a glass of wine and warm company.
