Whether you’re a local wanting to explore some of your own backyard or are visiting to escape the concrete jungle, you’ll find a bike ride that will tick all your boxes on the Mornington Peninsula. Some may be shared by horse riders, walkers and mountain bike riders but one thing’s for sure - they’re all worth doing - it’s just a case of finding the right one for you. Here’s our top 5 spectacular bike rides, starting with the easiest first.

Some places you can feel a sense of escape from the moment you arrive... and that's what happens when you venture up the winding driveway of Woodman Estate. If you look closely, there is more to this location than meets the eye. The backdrop to this fifty-acre exclusive retreat is a picturesque lake and bushland where the luxury country house retreat is well hidden away. You don't have to stay to enjoy the estate fare, or to pamper yourself at the wellness retreat, but you can if you want. 

Autumn is a wonderful time to take long walks, head to a foodie event or try something new. We have plenty of autumn ideas for you to try and this time of year it’s a perfect excuse to find your next adventure. Take the day, or take a few, and find some new favourite autumn antics on the Mornington Peninsula.

There is a whole lot of passion plus quiet determination behind the industrial façade of the Bass & Flinders Distillery, but it has always been so. This small distillery started as a project to hand craft small batches of grape-based spirits utilising premium locally sourced ingredients. To this day the distillery excels at creatively experimenting with unique Australian botanicals during the distillation process. 

Whether you prefer to be in the water or on the water, the mix of rugged ocean and calm bay on the Mornington Peninsula means that there is something to suit your style. Try something you’ve never done before, like learning to scuba dive or swimming with dolphins. We know we shouldn’t boast, but you’ll find an amazing underwater world that really does rival Australia’s northern coast for its incredible colour and marine life. Did you know that our region has 10% of Victoria’s coastline? Now that’s a lot to discover!
