Less than an hour from Melbourne and right at the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula, you?ll love strolling from our recently completed luxury 4.5 accommodation along Main St exploring the shops and cafes and then down to the harbour to watch the sail boats and people fishing from the pier.
With continental breakfast provisions to enjoy after a restful night in one of our carefully chosen and super comfortable beds with fine linen and themed accessories, you?ll be ready to hit the ground running and continue on with your journey.
From its earliest days as a sleepy fishing village to its current incarnation as a thriving, cosmopolitan holiday destination, Mornington has long held a unique place in the hearts and minds of visitors.
The breathtaking grandeur of its coastline, glimpses of wind-filled sails on the bay, distant views of the shimmering city skyline and the heritage of the district give Mornington its unique character.
And whether your perfect escape entails leisurely walks along the sand of our gentle bay beaches, exploring the myriad cafes and boutiques of Main St or more adventurous pursuits, Mornington has it all.
Main Street Mornington has retained its historic maritime flavor, offering the cosy feel of a seaside resort, yet providing all the services and facilities, including seven day shopping, expected by contemporary visitors.

To gain a sense of the history of this much-loved seaside spot, make sure you include a stop at the Schnapper Point memorial to Matthew Flinders who first landed in the area in 1802, and follow up with a visit to Arthurs Seat, a favourite destination for Melbournians since the 1920s when visitors made the journey across the bay by paddle steamer to soak up the stunning vista from the summit.
Standing sentry over the vibrant Main St is the heritage-listed Grand Hotel. Built more than 100 years ago, the hotel has been gracefully restored and continues to offer fine food, good cheer and the traditional hospitality born so long ago. Today, literally dozens of diverse eateries pepper the Main St with choices ranging from casual caf?-style to fine formal dining and the distinct flavours of the Mediterranean, Asia and Europe well represented.
The weekly Main Street Market is a traditional street market held every Wednesday, rain or shine. Nearly 30 years old, it is the longest running street market in Victoria and the perfect place to pick up unique crafts, gifts and home wares and fresh local produce.

Mothers Beach which overlooks the magnificent Mornington Harbour, with its safe beach and picnic area, is a favourite spot with both locals and tourists alike.
There is no shortage of sporting facilities. Local tennis and bowls clubs welcome visitors and golf courses at Mt Martha and Mornington offer challenging fairways with bay views. With excellent boat launching facilities at the Snapper Point jetty and boat hire, fishing is a popular past time throughout the year and highlighted with the annual Snapper competition.
Two major attractions include the outstanding Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery in Dunns Rd and The Briars, a historic homestead built in the 1840s, with its unique collection of Napoleonic memorabilia, wildlife refuges, bushwalks, restaurant and picnic grounds.
