Welcome to The Farm 191
A little local guide for our Hipcamp guests
Welcome! Whether you’re here for beach days, bushwalks, good food or a relaxing soak, there’s plenty to enjoy around the Mornington Peninsula. Here are a few local favourites to help you make the most of your stay.
Beaches, bushwalks and beautiful views
- Kings Falls: A lovely local bushwalk, starting from the Kings Falls car park on Waterfall Gully Road. Allow about an hour to explore the fern-lined gullies and seasonal waterfall. There are hills and steps, so bring sturdy shoes.
- McCrae Beach: Our favourite local beach—pack a picnic, enjoy the sand and take a wander past McCrae Lighthouse.
- Rosebud Beach and Pier: An easy choice for a relaxed afternoon, with a foreshore playground, picnic spots and the Bay Trail for walking or cycling.
- Arthurs Seat and Seawinds Gardens: Enjoy bay views, garden walks and a picnic, or take the Eagle gondola above the treetops.
- A little further afield: Try the Red Hill Rail Trail for a countryside walk, Millionaire’s Walk for coastal views near Sorrento, or Cape Schanck for dramatic ocean scenery.
Good food and local supplies
- The Pig & Whistle, Main Ridge: A favourite for a relaxed family pub meal and outdoor dining.
- Alatonero, McCrae: Greek food opposite the beach—an appealing way to finish a beach day.
- Pizza Luna: A local option for an easy pizza night back at camp.
- Zero95, Dromana: Another family favourite for pizza and pasta.
- Main Ridge Dairy: A lovely stop for cheese lovers.
- Merricks Store: A breakfast suggestion if you’re heading out to explore.
- Waterfall Gully Cellars & General Store and Waterfall Gully Fruit & Veg: Local stops for groceries and fresh supplies.
Unwind or make a day of it
For a relaxing outing, book a soak at Peninsula Hot Springs, whose Bath House welcomes all ages. Alba Thermal Springs & Spa and Aurora Spa & Bathhouse in Sorrento are also options for a pampering day. Check each venue’s packages and age policies before booking.
For a leisurely food and wine outing, try Foxeys Hangout, Polperro, Montalto or Pt. Leo Estate. Combine a visit to Pt. Leo Estate with its Sculpture Park, or head to St Andrews Beach Brewery for a casual brewery outing. Arrange a designated driver if you’re tasting.
Something for the adventurous
Enchanted Adventure at Arthurs Seat is a fun outing for families and active adults. Tree Surfing offers obstacles and ziplines among the trees; check age and height requirements when booking.
An easy weekend idea
Spend your first day exploring Kings Falls, followed by lunch and an afternoon at McCrae Beach. On day two, enjoy the views at Arthurs Seat, then choose a hinterland lunch or a hot springs soak before returning to camp.
Check current opening hours, bookings and park conditions before setting out, especially during holidays. Bring water, sun protection and a warm layer, and check dog restrictions for each destination. At the beach, follow local signs and swim between the flags wherever patrols are operating.
Enjoy exploring—and leave yourself some time to relax back at camp!
