I stayed here on a weekend away to the Mornington Peninsula and the Peninsula Hot Springs. Booking…read morevia Wotif was easy, and everything was ready and as described on arrival. We even got a free upgrade - bonus! The staff were friendly and helpful. The room had everything expected and it was clean and in good condition. The location is just off the Rye main shops and the super market is about a kilometer away. Rye beach and the pier are on the other side of the highway (a few hundred metres). The best feature had to be the outdoor heated pool and spa. It was warm enough to go straight in - even on a mild spring day. Something to watch finding it is that Napier street is closed at the Nepean Highway end (so there is no through traffic, which keeps the noise down). But if you don't know this you could drive passed it several times - like we did. You have to come in via Nelson st.

A beautiful resort set in-between a few golf courses lots of grass and greenery?!? Yes please…read more This beautiful resort is set in Fingal, not too far away from the Peninsula Hot Springs and consists of multiple buildings that create the most relaxing atmosphere you ever could ask for. The view from the balconies is absolutely gorgeous with some rooms overlooking a golf course that sees the sunset in all it's glory. There's a golfing pro-shop located in the main reception building where you can rent golf carts, clubs, an instructor, and buy whatever golfing equipment your heart desires. Not interested in golfing? There's a beautiful path you can follow to walk through the golf course as well as an Endota Spa located on the premises. There's also a lovely bar and a restaurant with amazing food located in the main reception as well. The rooms are the bare essentials with a split system heater located on the wall, a beautiful patio to be able to watch the golf course with a nice metal bench and table to place a glass of bubbly or your beer to relax with. The bathroom area is a bit low on light when it's dark outside so they could use improvement on that, I do need light to apply makeup! The smoke detector is right directly above the bed which makes it a bit annoying when you're trying to sleep with the red light on a constant another light blinking off and on, but all in all, the resort is amazing. I forgot to mention, the staff is AMAZING! Even after we checked out they went to their fullest possible extent to ensure we were taken care of. Some of the stuff aren't the sharpest tools in the shed but I suppose you need a bit of everything to make a business work! If you're in the area and need a place to stay, this resort is ghighly recommended.

The Mornington Peninsula is truly something to behold. It has vineyards, bushland, gorgeous…read morebeaches, outstanding culinary establishment and it's only a short drive from the Melbourne CBD. We visited the Mornington Peninsula on an overcast Melbourne day. The moment we walked inside Polperro winery, we were greeted by a retro inspired lounge with funky furniture and ambient lighting radiating from legit candlesticks. SWOON. I am not sure what else Polperro could offer to make it more appealing. It boasts a new cellar, villas for overnight guests and a cracking bistro with outstanding food. The only complaint was that the gnocchi wasn't great, and quite pricey. I can't wait to go back, the setting in particular makes for a great day out. It was a special day to remember.

Great food, delicious wines, brilliant service, warm and welcoming atmosphere. What's not to love…read moreabout this place? I'd heard a lot about Polperro before dining here. A local tour bus driver recommended Polperro as THE place to eat on the Peninsula. He's not far off, although there is a lot of worthy competition. Polperro is situated in a very picturesque part of Red Hill. As with many of the winery restaurants in that area, it has magnificent views, which were sadly spoiled by the terrible weather that enveloped the area on the day we visited. No matter. We were warmly welcomed and seated at a very comfortable table. Polperro offers a degustation menu only, which you can match with wines. I'd recommend that you do so, if only because it means you will get dinner and show with one of the most entertaining sommeliers you will ever have the pleasure to meet. Polperro is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. The food and wine match is perfect. Serves are generous. Trust me, you are sated at the end of lunch here (and I believe that Polperro is open only for lunch). I cannot speak highly enough of the quality of the food. It is prepared with impeccable technique in all areas of flavour and presentation. Not one dish disappointed. This is right up there with the very best the Peninsula has to offer. As I said, it's not cheap, but it offers good value for what you get. If you want a special occasion lunch, this is the place.

If you are visiting Melbourne, the Penguin Parade is a must! We booked the guided tour and had such…read morea wonderful time learning about the little penguins and getting to see them up close on the beach as they came in at sunset. You are given binoculars, a headset, a seat cushion and a beverage. There were hundreds of little penguins that came up in 5-6 groups as they headed their way up on the beach into the rocks to go back to their homes. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to take any photographs or video, but the experience of just seeing them was unbelievable. They are so cute!

It is well worth the visit...but be prepared for crowds and sitting in the cold...and definitely pay the extra for the private seating area and VIP options. Lots to do and see all around the Phillip Island. Highlight of all of it was certainly the Penguin Parade at sunset. Get there around 730pm, and be prepared to head to your seats around 8pm, although the penguins don't tend to emerge from the water until about just after 9pm. However, when they emerge, the emerge adorably and by the hundreds/thousands! In total we must have viewed close to a couple thousand penguins coming out of the water and making their slow, waddling way up the hill (climbing often for more than a mile or more). They came out of surf after feeding at sea. They are Little Penguins (smallest of all penguins, around 12 inches in height). The "Parade" then goes on for over an hour, as thousands waddle up trails to find their burrows - you can see them at very close range, no more than a couple meters away. We loved it and our kids loved it and found it to be one of the best animal viewings they ever experienced! Truly an all around fantastic evening - and great rangers who talk and provide additional details. I recommend this to everyone. Be aware that you should prepare for large crowds and be sure to come prepared with warm clothing.
