Romantic Getaways on the Mornington Peninsula
The Mornington Peninsula is Melbourne's most varied romantic escape: calm bay beaches, hilltop cellar doors, steaming geothermal hot springs and wild clifftop walks, all on one headland an hour from the city. A getaway proposal here pairs the question with a sunset beach, a winery or the hot springs, then a luxurious coastal stay.
What's included
What you can expect
An hour from Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula packs beaches, wineries, hot springs and dramatic coast into one region made for romance. A getaway proposal might happen on a quiet bay beach at sunset, among the vines at a cellar door, on the Cape Schanck clifftops or beside the hilltop pools at the hot springs, with a celebratory dinner and an overnight to follow. We connect you with planners and vendors who arrange the proposal styling and tie the experiences and the stay together.
