Emu Plains Market
Underneath the ancient glade of a stringybark forest, makers unite to create a craft revolution never before seen on the Mornington Peninsula.
Forward Body Wellness and Recovery
There are wellness businesses that begin with a treatment menu. Forward Body Wellness & Recovery makes more sense when you start somewhere else entirely — with the human body. The body responds to heat. Oxygen. Pressure. Light. Vibration. Magnetic fields. Electrical stimulation. Movement and rest.
South Beach, Mount Martha
South Beach, Mount Martha sits just above the shoreline, where light, space and the rhythm of the coast set the tone. With uninterrupted views across Port Phillip Bay, open indoor–outdoor seating and a calm, confident pace, it’s dining that protects how it feels to be there.
The Rye Kitchen
The Rye Kitchen fits very neatly into that picture. Tucked into the Rye community, it’s the kind of neighbourhood café you can pop into for a morning coffee, settle in for breakfast with friends, grab lunch to take away or pick up something delicious for later.
St Andrews Kitchen
There’s something about St Andrews Beach that feels different from the rest of the Peninsula. The air is saltier, the dunes rise higher, and the ocean doesn’t ask for your attention — it takes it. At the gateway to this rugged stretch of coast, you’ll find a modest 80s brick veneer, part of a tiny hamlet of local shops.
Grand Tour One
Our Grand Tour One is a meandering journey through the Mornington Peninsula that takes you through the hinterland to the rugged south west with a main break at the Peninsula Hot Springs where you will leave feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and ready to soak up some iconic roads and fresh experiences as you journey homeward.
Slow Down and Reconnect
Just over an hour from Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula feels like a world away. Here, wellness isn’t something you schedule — it’s something you naturally fall into.
Alatonero
A long-term love affair with Santorini, and a passion for Greek food, has brought a new culinary vibe to the Mornington Peninsula. Across the road from the McCrae lighthouse (at what was The Pavilion), Alatonero is giving diners the opportunity to enjoy well known and much loved Greek delicacies. With an impressive resume in the food world, and with energy and drive to burn, Jacqui Poulier found the perfect location for her new venture, where she has brought to life her love of food, cooking, people and stories. The restaurant is light, bright, open and airy with a fresh sea breeze that drifts through the open plan dining area.
