I was traveling on business to Australia and decided to take a few extra days to explore. I had…read moreread about the Jackalope in a magazine as it opened in April 2017. The newly opened Jackalope which is on The Mornington Peninsula, about an hour's drive south of Melbourne, is a $40 million luxury hotel on the Willow Creek winery with restaurants Rare Hare and Doot Doot Doot. My favorite dining option was the Rare Hare, a casual drop-in eatery, food store and and wine tasting barn offering smoked artichokes with burrata and venison carpaccio with views of the vines. I loved breakfast which included the likes of spiced lamb and fried eggs or crisp chive-flecked waffles with smoked salmon with a well made strong coffee to get your day started. I stayed in the vineyard room which had a great view over the infinity pool and vineyard. The room was spacious and luxurious with sleek black furnishings. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom had underfloor heating, the double rain shower was amazing and the little nook outside the bathroom was convenient for relaxing. At checkout the amazing service continued as I was offered several water bottles for my hour long journey back to the city and given awesome black bag luggage tags as a parting gift. FIVE STARS as I highly recommend Jackalope for its luxury, its special touches, its awesome attentive staff, and its beautiful location.

For performers there's big backstage area. The cafeteria also sells wine, beer, cider, coffee and if you are hungry they have pre packed food like sandwiches, sushi, cakes and soup. The stage is a big one and there's also seatings upstairs if there's a big crowd. Easy to find and quite convenient if you live on this side of town. There's also restaurants about 6 minute walks if needed

Just a couple of hours after arriving I'd wished we had booked more than two nights. Peaceful and fully equipped with everything from breakfast supplies (bacon! eggs! bread! muesli!) to a giant bathroom (candles! spa bath! smelly bath products!) and a bookshelf filled with goodies (scrabble! daggy but entertaining DVDs and CDs! books!) this was my idea of a good time. We unpacked our food supplies, opened the complimentary bottle of sparkling wine and then proceeded to get in to full sloth mode. With the Crittenden cellar door and Stillwater restaurant a mere 100m away, we didn't leave the property until we had to check out after our two night stay. Pro tip: Don't attempt the 1000 piece puzzle of the Louvre if you're only staying 2 nights. We did, and failed dismally.

My husband and I had our wedding reception here, and we were happy with the overall service. There were a few small hitches, such as the guests not allowed in until half an hour after after they were supposed to, and the mains being slightly different to what we had in the tasting, but overall our experience was great. The owner is lovely, and he seems genuinely interested in making sure your night is perfect. I would recommend Benito's for a meal.

We visited the Mornington Peninsula on an overcast Melbourne day. The moment we walked inside Polperro winery, we were greeted by a retro inspired lounge with funky furniture and ambient lighting radiating from legit candlesticks. SWOON. I am not sure what else Polperro could offer to make it more appealing. It boasts a new cellar, villas for overnight guests and a cracking bistro with outstanding food. The only complaint was that the gnocchi wasn't great, and quite pricey. I can't wait to go back, the setting in particular makes for a great day out. It was a special day to remember.

A local tour bus driver recommended Polperro as THE place to eat on the Peninsula. He's not far off, although there is a lot of worthy competition. Polperro is situated in a very picturesque part of Red Hill. As with many of the winery restaurants in that area, it has magnificent views, which were sadly spoiled by the terrible weather that enveloped the area on the day we visited. No matter. We were warmly welcomed and seated at a very comfortable table. Polperro offers a degustation menu only, which you can match with wines. I'd recommend that you do so, if only because it means you will get dinner and show with one of the most entertaining sommeliers you will ever have the pleasure to meet. Polperro is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. The food and wine match is perfect. Serves are generous. Trust me, you are sated at the end of lunch here (and I believe that Polperro is open only for lunch). I cannot speak highly enough of the quality of the food. It is prepared with impeccable technique in all areas of flavour and presentation. Not one dish disappointed. This is right up there with the very best the Peninsula has to offer. As I said, it's not cheap, but it offers good value for what you get. If you want a special occasion lunch, this is the place.
