From Australia's #1-ranked wildlife sanctuary to geothermal hot springs drawn from 637 metres underground, here's what's genuinely worth your time — including what's open, what's shut, and what's free.

Australia's first MICHELIN Two Keys hotel, a former Victorian institution turned IHG five-star, and a geothermal glamping village in Fingal. Here's what's actually on the Peninsula, how to choose between them, and how to tell two famous Sorrento properties apart.

The Peninsula's most satisfying day combination — Bushrangers Bay in the morning, lunch on the drive north, and a long afternoon at Peninsula Hot Springs. The structure that earns the second half.
Peninsula Insider approach to wellness
Not every spa on the Peninsula is equally useful to a visitor. This guide tells you which bathhouse session is worth building a weekend around, which resort spa adds to a stay, and which day-spa rooms fit around lunch rather than defining the trip.
Prices change. Session timing changes everything. We do not publish session prices without live verification, check direct before booking, and choose midweek where your calendar allows.
The spas
Hot springs, resort spas, and day spas, each with an editorial take.
The Peninsula's second-generation thermal springs complex, cleaner architecture, smaller crowds, better pacing than the original.
The Mornington town-centre day spa, reliable treatments, sensible pricing, and the sixty-minute option that fits before lunch on Main Street.
The Peninsula's best resort-style day spa, proper scale, serious treatment menu, and a cliff-edge location that nobody else on the Peninsula can match.
The original Peninsula thermal springs, still the biggest, still the most complete wellness circuit for people who want the full ritual.
The Peninsula's most design-led boutique spa, small, precise, and the natural pairing with a Jackalope stay or a Doot Doot Doot dinner.
