No better way to cap off a long day of exploring the Peninsula than by retreating to one of the many hotels and getaways sprinkled along the coast. Sorrento’s InterContinental is one of the most popular stays in the region bringing a bit of coastal glamour to the region. Vineyards, restaurants and plenty of stunning beaches are just a walk away from the hotel, which has been an icon of the Mornington Peninsula since 1875.
Whatever type of getaway you're looking for, the Mornington Peninsula has something on offer for everyone. Get outside with the family for a beautiful hike with an ocean view, head to a show at one of the many live music venues sprinkled along the coast, like Gods Bandroom, Sound Bar and The Royal Hotel, or lose yourself in a weekend of rest and relaxation.
