Hotels in Mornington Peninsula, Australia

Mornington Peninsula is a coastal region just an hour south of Melbourne, famous for its hot springs, rugged surf beaches, and cool-climate vineyards. Summers (70-80°F / 21-27°C) are perfect for swimming at the calm bay beaches of Sorrento or surfing the wild swells of Gunnamatta Beach on the Bass Strait side, while winters (45-55°F / 7-13°C) invite you to soak in the Peninsula Hot Springs then explore the historic 1850s lime kilns at Point Nepean National Park. The peninsula splits into two vibes: the quiet eastern side with family-friendly towns like Rye, and the lively western side with charming Portsea and its iconic ferry to Queenscliff.
