Peninsula Hot Springs is an award-winning wellbeing and spa destination located in Fingal, on the Mornington Peninsula. Our bathing and wellness experiences are nestled harmoniously within the natural landscape and feature stunning indigenous plantings from the local Ecological Vegetation Community.

The Land and Environment Team, consisting of passionate horticulturalists and conservationists, have over the last 20 years resurrected the 30-hectre site from cleared paddocks with little remnant vegetation to the spectacular gardens you can see today. Consisting of manicured and landscape gardens, lawns, kitchen gardens, open spaces, and bushland areas these spaces are managed to provide our guests with a unique relaxation experience and opportunity to connect with nature while providing valuable habitat for our native flora, fauna, and fungi.
