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.

Jenny Riddle

Artist Jenny Riddle was drawn to the Mornington Peninsula by the potential for spiritual renewal and creative inspiration; a powerful combination that she found hard to ignore. That move, and her career as an artist, had been on her mind for some time, but were acted on after life-altering events that caused her to look closely at her life.

Cameron Robbins Open Studio at Police Point

In recent years the Gatekeepers Cottage has been 'home' to over 40 artists in residence at Police Point Shire Park, Portsea. Built in the late 1800's the cottage was originally used by policemen overseeing quarantine operations in the area.  Cameron Robbins is an artist in residence during March/April 2019 and will open the studio doors for visitors.

Sculpture at Montalto

Sculpture is an integral part of life at Montalto and a highlight of any visit to the estate. Our Sculpture Trail winds its way through the property and our beautiful natural gallery provides diverse settings for our pieces. You might find monumental works sited in open spaces through to more intimate pieces amongst the wetlands and vines.
