Jackalope Hotel
Design hotel in a Merricks North vineyard.
The stay guide · for two
A weekend for two, your way.
Start with the mood of the trip. A vineyard table, time at the springs, a Sorrento evening or somewhere smaller each leads to a different stay.
The first decision
Choose your setting.
01 / Vineyard
Make dinner part of the stay.
Choose this setting when wine, a long meal and a slower Red Hill morning are the point of the trip.
Polperro Villas
Estate villas for two in Red Hill.
Crittenden Estate Villas
Villas on the Crittenden estate.
Lindenderry at Red Hill
Hotel in a Red Hill vineyard setting.
Before booking
Ask whether dining or a tasting needs its own reservation.
02 / Thermal
Put bathing at the centre.
Alba and Peninsula Hot Springs are separate operators in Fingal. Choose the bathing venue first, then compare its accommodation.
The Sanctuary at Alba
Five standalone villas or two rooms. The operator lists daily bathing and one private-pool upgrade with the stay.
Peninsula Hot Springs Glamping
Tented stays on the Peninsula Hot Springs grounds. Check the chosen package; private bathing is not a standard inclusion across all offers.
Before booking
Check the exact room, bathing package and any separate treatments before booking.
03 / Coast
Let Sorrento set the pace.
A village base suits a weekend built around dining, the bay and an ocean-side walk.
InterContinental Sorrento
Hotel in central Sorrento.
Hotel Sorrento
Hotel beside Sorrento village.
Before booking
Check your preferred room and dining availability with the hotel.
04 / A different pace
Compare a smaller stay.
These are further places to investigate when you would rather choose the room and location before planning the rest of the weekend.
Cassis Red Hill
Read the stay notes and current operator details.
Before booking
Compare the actual room and amenities for your dates; a name or photograph does not establish private bathing.
Before you commit
A few details change the weekend.
Room types and inclusions can change. Check the operator’s live booking page for your exact dates.
Does every Alba Sanctuary villa have a private pool?
No. Alba lists five standalone villas and two rooms, with bathing on each day of the stay and one private-pool upgrade. Its villas have different features. Compare the exact unit and booking inclusions before reserving.
Is private bathing included with Peninsula Hot Springs glamping?
No blanket inclusion. When checked on 1 October 2026, the operator listed private bathing as an optional add-on for its time-limited The Block offer. Check your chosen package and reserve extras separately.
Where should we start if we have not chosen a property?
Choose the setting first: vineyard dining, on-site thermal bathing, a Sorrento coast base or a smaller stay. Then compare the specific room, dates and any separate dining or spa reservations.
Thermal accommodation details checked on 1 October 2026 against Alba’s Sanctuary guide, Alba’s villa details, Peninsula Hot Springs glamping and The Block package. Other stay links are discovery paths, not a live room inventory. Confirm current rooms, inclusions and availability with each operator.
