Description

Begin your day with an intimate encounter with Australia's native animals at the Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park. Hand-feed kangaroos, spot koalas in the treetops, and meet rare species like the southern bettong and quoll. For those interested in dramatic coastal scenery and history, swap Moonlit for Point Nepean National Park. Walk among historic military forts, the Quarantine Station, and clifftop lookouts where the waters of Port Phillip Bay meet Bass Strait. Alternatively, instead of Moonlit or Point Nepean, soar over the treetops aboard a modern gondola, taking in panoramic views of the Peninsula, Port Phillip Bay, and beyond to the Melbourne skyline. Stop for iconic photos at the brightly painted beach boxes that line the shores, adding color and charm to the Peninsula's coastal landscape. Indulge in a wine tasting of premium cool-climate varietals at Point Leo Estate’s elegant cellar door, followed by a seasonal lunch crafted from locally sourced produce. Enjoy sweeping views over the vineyards and sea, then wander through the 16-acre sculpture park featuring over 70 large-scale works by renowned artists from around the world. Spend a blissful afternoon soaking in naturally heated, mineral-rich pools at Victoria’s premier geothermal spa. Set in tranquil bushland, the springs offer over 70 bathing experiences, from cave pools and hydrotherapy baths to the hilltop pool with 360° views. End the day with a peaceful stop in nature. Depending on the season and conditions, enjoy sweeping sunset views from Seawinds Lookout or look for wild kangaroos grazing freely at Highfield.
