Sleep at the springs, add a hotel treatment, or stay elsewhere with bathing in Fingal. Alba’s thermal estate in Fingal. The image shows bathing, not a Sanctuary room. Courtesy of Visit Victoria. 01 / On-site bathing ## Sleep where you bathe. Peninsula Hot Springs and Alba are different operators in Fingal. Choose the springs first, then compare the accommodation format and inclusions for your dates. Canvas stay · Peninsula Hot Springs ### [Peninsula Hot Springs Glamping]() Garden View, Lake View and Secluded Pavilion glamping settings keep the springs on the same grounds. **Check before booking.** Check the exact tent package, bathing access, guest age rules and arrival times. Reserve treatments or dining separately unless included. [Read stay notes]()[See glamping packages]() Lodge room · Peninsula Hot Springs ### [Peninsula Hot Springs Eco Lodges]() Individual rooms in the Eco Lodges offer a different stay from glamping. Private bathing features vary by room type. **Check before booking.** Compare the Springs Room and Peninsula Suite, then read the current package inclusions. A private bath is not a spa treatment booking. [Read stay notes]()[See Eco Lodge rooms]() Villa or room · Alba ### [The Sanctuary at Alba]() The Sanctuary has five standalone villas and two premium rooms above Alba’s thermal springs. **Check before booking.** Alba currently lists daily bathing, Thyme breakfast and one private-pool upgrade for both formats. Reserve spa treatments separately. [Read stay notes]()[See Alba accommodation]() Pictured: an Eco Lodge room at Peninsula Hot Springs An Eco Lodge room at Peninsula Hot Springs.

Its spa is at the hotel; it is not one of the Fingal thermal-springs operators. Hotel spa · Merricks North ### [Jackalope Hotel]() Stay at the design hotel and build in a treatment, dining or time by the guest-only pool. **Check before booking.** Check whether your room package includes a treatment. Otherwise reserve the spa separately. Pool and hot-and-cold facilities are for hotel guests.

Peter Foster, courtesy of Visit Victoria. 03 / Optional off-site packages ## Stay elsewhere. Bathe in Fingal. These hotels are outside the springs precincts. Each operator lists a package pairing accommodation with bathing at a Fingal venue. A room-only booking does not imply bathing entry. Flinders hotel · Peninsula Hot Springs package ### [Quarters at Flinders Hotel]() The Stay and Bathe package pairs Quarters at Flinders Hotel with Peninsula Hot Springs Bath House bathing in Fingal. **Check before booking.** Check package availability, blackout dates and bathing entry. Arrange your own journey between Flinders and Fingal. [Read stay notes]()[See Flinders package]() Red Hill hotel · Alba package ### [Lindenderry at Red Hill]() Lindenderry lists an Alba Thermal Springs & Spa package with its Red Hill accommodation and bathing at Alba in Fingal. **Check before booking.** Select the Alba package if you want bathing included, then confirm its terms and transport. A standard room booking is a separate choice. [Read stay notes]()[See Lindenderry package]() Pictured: Lindenderry at Red Hill Lindenderry at Red Hill, one of two off-site hotel bases. Flinders Hotel is a separate property. Peter Foster, courtesy of Visit Victoria. Before you reserve ## Book the parts that matter. - **Choose the place.** Peninsula Hot Springs and Alba are separate Fingal operators. Jackalope is in Merricks North. Package hotels are in Flinders and Red Hill. - **Read the inclusions.** Bathing, breakfast, treatments and private bathing differ by room and package. Reserve anything outside your booking separately. - **Plan the journey.** An off-site package links a hotel stay with a springs visit; it does not put pools at the hotel. Confirm transport and times before paying. ## The practical questions. Looking for a visit without accommodation? Use the [day-spa guide](). ### Can I stay at Peninsula Hot Springs or Alba? Yes. Peninsula Hot Springs has glamping and Eco Lodges; Alba has The Sanctuary’s villas and rooms. They are separate operators in Fingal. Check your room and bathing inclusions. ### Do the Flinders and Red Hill packages include the same springs? No. The Quarters at Flinders Hotel package is linked to Peninsula Hot Springs. Lindenderry at Red Hill lists a package linked to Alba. Both involve travel to Fingal. Check availability and inclusions with the operator. ### Does a Jackalope room include a spa treatment? Do not assume it does. Jackalope has an on-site treatment spa and offers different room packages. Check your package and reserve a treatment separately when it is not included. ### Is a day-spa visit the same as a wellness retreat stay? No. A day-spa visit does not include accommodation. An overnight stay includes a room; a facilitated retreat also needs a confirmed program and dates. Check what your booking includes. ### Can I plan a wellness stay without a car? Plan transport before booking. Staying at the springs reduces travel between room and bathing, but you still need to reach Fingal. For a Flinders or Red Hill package, arrange the journey to the separate springs venue. ## Build the rest of the break. Compare the two springs, use a weekend plan, or return to the wider stay shortlist.
