Retreat

Technically speaking when one retreats it means they want to move back or withdraw – it’s safe to say many of us today; yearn for a quick break from the hub-bub of busy routines and lifestyles. This section highlights some of the very best retreats on the Mornington Peninsula where you can visit for a few hours or a few days to recharge the body and soul.

Gracie’s Lane

Set across 20 acres in Main Ridge, in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula hinterland, Gracie’s Lane Luxury Villa Accommodation offers something increasingly difficult to find: room to slow down. This is not a generic retreat. It is a working horse property, a sheep-breeding farm and a genuine piece of Peninsula countryside, surrounded by open paddocks, mature gum trees and the maritime air that moves through this part of the region.

InterContinental Sorrento

In the picturesque seaside town of Sorrento, the InterContinental Sorrento Mornington Peninsula stands as a living testament to vision, innovation, and enduring charm. Since its inception in 1875, this iconic hotel has been a symbol of hospitality and sophistication.

Butterfly Retreats

Butterfly Retreats in Red Hill is an experience for the whole family. Set on four acres of cleared grassland with mature European trees, fruit trees and an olive grove, there is something special to experience everywhere you wander throughout this picturesque property. Nestled between Lindenderry at Red Hill and Eldridge Estate, the property is flanked by vineyards providing a colourful vista ever changing with the seasons.

Jackalope

Set on the site of Willow Creek Vineyard, Jackalope is a contemporary, cutting edge hotel that is already an award winner (Gourmet Traveller recently named Jackalope as Hotel of the Year, New Hotel of the Year and Regional Hotel of the Year). Not a bad achievement considering the property only opened its doors in April this year.

Solara House, Mount Eliza

Solara House, Mount Eliza: A Nostalgic Escape to the Glamour of Yesteryears with a modern twist. Nestled in the picturesque locale of Mount Eliza, Victoria, lies a hidden gem that harks back to a bygone era of elegance and leisure – Solara. As its Latin name suggests, this sun-kissed abode is an ode to the golden days, drawing inspiration from the iconic poolside glamour captured by the legendary photographer Slim Aarons.
