Though it feels like a world away from Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula’s rugged wilderness, coastal vistas and lush hinterland gardens are only an easy hour’s drive away.

Travelling by car from Melbourne

Follow the coastline from Melbourne via Frankston to access Port Phillip bayside towns (Mt Eliza, Mornington, Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento, Portsea). To access villages alongside Westernport Bay (Tyabb, Hastings, Flinders), take the M1 linked with the Western Port Highway.

For a faster journey (60 minutes) take the M1 and join the Eastlink tollway, paying special attention to the eclectic mix of roadside artwork, including the giant bird of Emily Floyd’s Public art strategy and Callum Morton’s high-rise hotel. Take the Mornington Peninsula Freeway and then Moorooduc Freeway to quickly reach the Mornington Peninsula.

Please note, there are no toll booths on the M1 or Eastlink. Passes must be pre-purchased from citylink.com.au for the M1 or breeze.com.au for Eastlink.
