Description
Discover the Mornington Peninsula on a day trip from Melbourne. Visit the iconic Brighton Bathing Boxes, enjoy panoramic views from Arthur's Seat Lookout, and explore the Ashcombe Maze & Lavender Gardens. Savor a wine-tasting experience at Pt. Leo Estate and visit the Cape Schanck Lighthouse. The Brighton Bathing Boxes are an iconic and colorful landmark along the sands of Brighton Beach. These charming, multicolored wooden structures date back to the 19th century, originally built as changing rooms for beachgoers. Today, they are a beloved photo opportunity and a symbol of Melbourne's coastal culture. The boxes are meticulously preserved in various pastel shades, offering a picturesque backdrop with views of Port Phillip Bay and the Melbourne skyline in the distance. Perfect for a leisurely stroll, a picnic, or a family outing. For panoramic views of the Mornington Peninsula, head to Arthur's Seat Lookout. Situated on the highest point of the peninsula, this lookout offers sweeping vistas of the surrounding coastline, the bay, and the distant Melbourne skyline. Visitors can reach the summit by hiking the Arthur's Seat Eagle or driving to the lookout for a quick and rewarding view. It's a popular spot for sunrise or sunset, offering an excellent vantage point for landscape photography. The area is also home to walking trails and scenic picnic spots. Ashcombe Maze & Lavender Gardens is a picturesque garden attraction offering a unique experience with its sprawling hedge maze, one of the oldest in Australia. Set within 25 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, it features stunning lavender gardens that are in full bloom during the warmer months, filling the air with a calming scent. The maze itself is fun for families, with multiple sections and hidden surprises along the way. Visitors can also explore themed gardens, enjoy afternoon tea at the onsite café, and shop for lavender products. Pt. Leo Estate is a premier winery set in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula, offering a sophisticated wine-tasting experience combined with stunning views of vineyards and the coastline. Known for its exceptional range of wines, particularly its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the estate also boasts an impressive sculpture park and gourmet dining options. The restaurant, Laura, serves fine cuisine inspired by local ingredients, and the estate’s spacious grounds are ideal for a leisurely walk or enjoying art in the open air. Cape Schanck Lighthouse is a historic landmark perched atop the rugged cliffs at the southern tip of the Mornington Peninsula. This iconic white lighthouse, built in 1859, offers stunning views of the wild Southern Ocean and dramatic coastal scenery.Includes
