Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park

Step into the heart of Australia’s natural heritage at Moonlit Sanctuary, an award-winning wildlife park nestled in native bushland. This beautifully preserved sanctuary offers an intimate encounter with iconic Australian animals in a peaceful and respectful setting. Hand-feed friendly kangaroos and wallabies as they hop up to greet you, watch vibrant lorikeets and cockatoos in flight, and come face-to-face with koalas resting in the gum trees. The sanctuary is more than just a place to see animals – it’s a living conservation project where education, protection, and connection come together. As you stroll along shaded trails, keep an eye out for endangered species like the spotted quoll or southern bettong, and learn how Moonlit is helping to preserve these unique creatures for future generations. It’s a magical way to begin your day on the Mornington Peninsula – calm, close to nature, and unforgettable.

Capture the Peninsula’s coastal charm with photo stops at these brightly painted bathing boxes – a playful and colourful part of local seaside culture.

Arthurs Seat

Perched high above the Mornington Peninsula, Arthur’s Seat is the region’s most famous lookout point. From its summit, enjoy sweeping panoramic views across Port Phillip Bay, stretching from the city skyline of Melbourne to the Bellarine Peninsula. On a clear day, you can even spot the You Yangs and Mount Macedon in the distance. Surrounded by native bushland and coastal breeze, it’s a stunning vantage point that captures the natural beauty and scale of the Peninsula.
