The boot-shaped promontory of land that curves south
of Melbourne to form the eastern shore of Port Phillip
Bay is Victoria's oldest and most popular holiday
playground, but is now enjoying renewed fame as a
major holiday destination only one hour from the State
Capital.
Surrounded
on three sides by the waters of Port Phillip and
Western Port Bays, and Bass Strait, it provides the
closest ocean beaches to Melbourne and a stunning
crescent of safe bayside beaches.
This is
Australia's newest and fastest growing boutique
wine district,
featuring over 100 vineyards and 35 cellar door
facilities, many of which include restaurants with
breathtaking views over sea and countryside.
When
combined with its reputation for fine food and
character accommodation, the Mornington Peninsula is
attracting an ever-growing reputation for 'the
good life'.
