Jackalope, Mornington Peninsula

Jackalope hotel is the latest vineyard accommodation offering in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula region. 

There’s a new way to experience the Mornington Peninsula’s bounty: the soon-to-open Jackalope hotel. Each of the 46 rooms has bespoke handcrafted Zuster furniture, dark, moody interiors and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame gorgeous views of vines that are heaving with grapes at this time of the year. Taste some of the region’s best-regarded cool-climate chardonnay and pinot noir at Rare Hare, the cellar door of Willow Creek Vineyard, then make your way to the on-site restaurant, Doot Doot Doot, where executive chef Guy Stanaway turns simple seasonal and local ingredients into outstanding dishes. The drive back to Melbourne takes just an hour and a half. Book now
