Why we’d goOne of the most commanding positions on the entire Peninsula, a hilltop perch with unbroken Bass Strait views that works best when the whole property is yours.
The Cape Retreat sits on a Cape Schanck hilltop with panoramic views across Bass Strait and the RACV golf course. Twelve luxury suites, primarily operated as an exclusive-hire venue for group stays, wellness retreats, and weddings. Individual suite bookings may be available on enquiry, but this is not a standard hotel-style booking.
If the appeal is the architectural statement rather than group hire, the nearby RAIA award-winning Cape Schanck House (featured in Gourmet Traveller's best Mornington Peninsula Airbnbs) is a separately bookable property sleeping four to six guests, and the more accessible option for couples or small groups.
Confirm the operating model, exclusive hire vs individual suite booking, directly before planning around this property.

If you only do one thing
Confirm individual suite availability directly before building a trip around this property, the exclusive-hire model means standard booking windows don't apply.
