Open Air Cinema at Lindenderry
We're excited to announce our first ever Summer Open Air Cinema event at Lindenderry.
20/20 A Sense of Place
From the tropical forests of Far North Queensland, to Aboriginal in-depth representations of Country, the lands of the Centre to the green hues and coastal views of the Mornington Peninsula, this year's summer exhibition at Whistlewood comprises the work of more than 40 leading landscape artists whose work explores a distinctive connection to place.

Zac and Jacqui Poulier, established Stillwater at Crittenden in 2004. Both have extensive culinary experience in Melbourne, and around the world. After working and travelling the world together, they returned to the Pen and the rest as they say is history.
Harvested by hand in Red Hill
The Red Hill Lavender Farm & Distillery produces a small variety of exceptional & effective products containing only pure essential oils – it’ a dream come true for Kylie and Brad Crump and their daughters. Inspired by the beauty of Provence, they hand-planted fields of lavender.
Looking for inspiration
Spring is in the air and whilst we may encounter many sunny and warm days on the Pen the late afternoon and evenings are still cool. The Italians would say ‘primavera non ti scoprire’, meaning in Spring, don’t get undressed, yet, as you may still encounter cool days and if you’re looking for a beautiful cashmere wrap or light merino jumper to keep your warmth then head to Red Hill House (RHH).
Want to stay somewhere different?
The sun is out, and spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s party’. When we think of a casual good day out ‘on the hill’ we think of the Red Hill Brewery. In the heart of Red Hill, they are open every Friday to Sunday plus public holidays and even more in summer.
Two Bays Trail Run
Run 28km across the Mornington Peninsula from Dromana to Cape Schanck. (Or Cape Schanck-Dromana-Cape Schanck for the Ultra-Runners.)
Two Bays Trail Run is planned to be held on Sunday 15th January 2017 at 7am for 28km runners and 7:10am for 56km runners. (Fallback date of Sun 22nd Jan in case of Code Red fire warning)
Little Rebel
For Little Rebel, it’s all about the coffee. Husband and wife team Peter and Trish started in the café business in 2010 and soon discovered that the coffee available for them to offer their customers simply wasn’t good enough. If you’re going to serve coffee, why not serve the best right?
Suri & Huacaya
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Alpaca – they’re very intelligent, inquisitive animals that relate well to people so can make excellent pets. There are two types of alpaca in Australia - Suri & Huacaya and Pitchingga Ridge has both – mainly blacks, greys & whites, also some browns. Alpacas are shorn once a year, usually in October.
Peninsula Hot Springs
There is a place on the Mornington Peninsula where its waters have been likened to a healing centre, a place of calm and contemplation, where the difficulties of living can be alleviated or resolved and the associated ailments of the body can be provided with relief. It’s safe to say that its one of our favourite spots and know to many others as the Peninsula Hot Springs.
Your best move
When we tell you that Blane Paton from Paton Estate Agents in Balnarring is the epitome of your Peninsula farmer, it’s the truth. If seeking advice on what to look out for in this neck of the woods we value his opinion and experience greatly.
Sleek new look at Paringa
At Paringa, they have just been awarded their fourth consecutive Chef’s Hat in the Age Good Food Guide 2017. Whilst they were once known for the rustic architectural charm of their restaurant, the building now has a sleek new look.
