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.

Point Leo Retreat

City people are always rushing about from this to that and connecting more with electronics than each other, but even coastal life can sweep you up in the busy-ness of modern daily business. To retreat, rejuvenate, rebalance and reconnect to the essence of being present is the fuel stop we often need.

The Acorn, Balnarring

The Acorn is a soaring vision from the moment you enter the double glazed doors with vaulted ceilings and a state-of-the-art fireplace at its core. There's a ground-floor bedroom and open plan living zone that's peppered with beautiful furnishings; a second bedroom is up on a mezzanine level.

Merricks Cottage

If the love of adventure is in your blood then seek out Merricks Cottage for your next holiday on the Mornington Peninsula. This chic, contemporary two-bedroom cottage, will transform your vibe from the moment you enter its gate and gardens. Situated between Red Hill and Merricks Beach you’ll be within walking distance to some of the most iconic experiences in the region.

Harts Farm, Shoreham

Before visiting the Peninsula you should be aware that you may never want to leave. Just ask Penny and Graeme Hart, for whom a weekend in Red Hill at Lindenberry inspired the decision – or perhaps, realisation – that they wanted to establish a rural Bed and Breakfast of their own in the region.
