Full Description

Peninsula Hot Springs, Fingal

Peninsula Hot Springs at Fingal on the Mornington Peninsula is Victoria's first natural geothermal hot spring destination and one of Australia's best-known wellness retreats. It sits in quiet bushland, about 90 minutes from central Melbourne, with mineral-rich water heated naturally underground and a calm, unhurried atmosphere.

Anyone searching for a Peninsula Hot Springs day trip from Melbourne will find that this option removes the stress of driving. You travel by express shuttle, arriving early in the morning when the springs are at their quietest, and enjoy three hours of bathing time before the rest of the day begins.

The Bath House and its pools

The Bath House has more than 50 bathing experiences, from cave pools and reflexology walks to hydrotherapy pools, massaging showers, saunas, steam rooms and cold plunge pools. Water temperatures vary from cool to very warm, so you can move between pools at your own pace and find the ones you like best.

The favourite for many guests is the hilltop pool, with sweeping 360-degree views across the peninsula. It is a social bathing experience suitable for couples, friends and families with older children, and the atmosphere is relaxed and quiet, especially early in the day.

Arthurs Seat and Port Phillip Bay views

After your time in the hot springs, the tour drives through the peninsula hinterland to Arthurs Seat, a hill with one of the best views of Port Phillip Bay. On a clear day you can see across the water to the Melbourne skyline in the distance.

It is a short scenic stop of about 30 minutes, ideal for photographs and a stretch of the legs after bathing. The lookout is easy to reach from the car park, and your driver-guide shares local knowledge about the peninsula's landscape, history and best beaches.

The beach boxes and practical tips

The last stop is at the peninsula's colourful beach bathing boxes, small wooden huts painted in bright colours along the sand, which make one of Victoria's classic photographs. From here the vehicle returns to central Melbourne, so you arrive back in the mid-afternoon.

Bring swimwear, a towel and a water bottle. Locker, robe and towel hire are payable at reception, and the venue is cashless. Food and drinks can be bought on site, or you can bring your own. Video recording is not permitted, and valuables and prams are best left behind.
