The Mornington Peninsula is a scenic resort region, rich in wineries, restaurants and art galleries. Wildlife abounds in its more secret corners, and birdsong greets you wherever you walk through its well-tended parks. Even the names of the towns evoke a holiday atmosphere: Dromana (a superb beach for swimming), Rosebud (a holiday mecca), Sorrento ( a grand old seagoing village) and Red Hill (famous for its monthly craft markets).
Mornington Peninsula can be favourably compared to some of the finest Peninsulas in the World. There is an abundance of great golf courses and stunning coastal views from every corner of the Mornington Peninsula.
