Peninsula Hot Springs offers over 50 global bathing experiences within its Bath House—an ideal way to refresh your mind, body, and soul. Victoria's first natural hot springs and spa, it’s easily accessible from Melbourne yet off the beaten track, making it the perfect escape. In partnership with Peninsula Hot Springs, we’ve launched an exclusive shuttle service to remove any added stress, allowing you to sit back and fully enjoy your day trip getaway.

With skip-the-queue, exclusive entry, you’ll have plenty of time to indulge yourself at the world-class Peninsula Hot Springs. Relax in the tranquil setting, reconnect with nature, and rejuvenate in the mineral-rich waters. The springs strive to create experiences that allow visitors to deeply unwind and connect with themselves.

As you soak in the naturally healing thermal waters, let your worries melt away. The experience is designed for all ages, with wellness options suitable for both young and old. Cafes and kiosks offering healthy snacks are available for purchase to keep you refreshed. After three hours of blissful relaxation, we continue our journey.

After your rejuvenating time at Peninsula Hot Springs, we’ll head toward Arthurs Seat, a perfect stop to further elevate your experience. The drive from the springs takes you through the picturesque hinterland, passing vineyards and scenic countryside, before we ascend to the top of Arthurs Seat. This route ensures a safer, smoother journey, as we descend the hill with the best vantage point on the Peninsula. From here, you’ll be treated to breathtaking panoramic views of the Peninsula, and on clear days, you may even spot the Melbourne city skyline across the bay.

Next, we’ll visit the iconic colourful beach boxes along the coastline, a fantastic photo opportunity to capture the vibrant essence of the area before making our way back to Melbourne.
