Wonderful for a couple's weekend, we were there on our honeymoon and wished we could stay longer. The rooms were very clean and they leave you local wine to try in the room. I highly recommend staying here.

Ordering the pulled pork, the bun seemed at least a day old and we'll just didn't really do much other than just be a pulled pork with a slaw. We also ordered pizzas with gluten option and it wasn't terrible though I would hope they did more to make things interesting. The cups that came with the water where scuffed and plastic whilst the tables where sticky and unfortunately because they are so close to the beach seagulls cannot be avoided outside. The staff where fine. I would hope they realise the potential they have and really step it up.

Right on the Esplanade so the beach and ocean views are across the street! Comfortable bed and standard hotel amenities are included with housekeeping. There is a self service laundry in the covered car park and outside parking as well as secured under apartments parking. Front desk is wonderful and staffed between 8am-9pm and knowledgeable about the area. Very helpful. Also prime location with the Main Street A420 just a block away with all the shops and lots of restaurants to choose from. This is my place to go and I've been coming here once a year for 5 years now. Can't say enough good things about them. Till next year!

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.
