If you prefer to spend your time at a cafe or restaurant, there are so many great restaurants in Mornington Peninsular to meet friends or just enjoy an intimate drink or meal.
Whoever you come with; you’re going to need a place to stay! Whether you’re looking for comfort or style, or a blend of the two, Mornington Peninsula has the ideal accommodation for you.

Mornington Peninsula glamping
Glamping (camping in style and comfort) has become increasingly popular in the last decade, and you can see why! You can get out into the wilderness and enjoy being close to nature without needing to worry about packing all your camping gear and spending sleepless nights on uncomfortable roll mats. It offers a luxurious and special touch to those not fully sold on camping, while also giving die-hard campers a healthy dose of outdoors and ‘back to basic’ living. This is a perfect option if you are looking for something a bit more unique than an Airbnb in Mornington Peninsula, and want something ‘once in a lifetime’!
If you are looking for accommodation in Mornington Peninsula and have always wanted to try glamping – you are in luck!

Family accommodation in Mornington Peninsula
When we found the Beauford Lodge accommodation we fell in love! It features a modern design with minimalistic yet tasteful décor and peaceful surroundings. The lodge is in a quiet town that has lots of nature spots as well as some tasty food options nearby, like the Epicure café and restaurant. It’s a great option if you’re looking for accommodation in Red Hill in Mornington Peninsula.

Great list! I think I would have to give the glamping option a try, looks like so much fun!
Peninsular Hot Springs sounds like the place for me! Thanks for the info 😀
Glamping near the Mornington Peninsula looks sooo fun! Iluka Retreat glamping looks great…but then staying near hot springs or wineries sounds even better! 😀
These all look AMAZING! But I think I would have to go for one of the glamping options.
Good to know there are so many options for accommodation on the Mornington Peninsula. Looking forward to experiencing the Peninsula Hot Springs!
