Mornington

Mornington combines chic with holiday village atmosphere and offers visitors a vast array of experiences. Main Street shops include fabulous restaurants, fashionable pubs, coffee and wine bars all mixed in between boutique clothing and interesting collectables stores. You can stock up fully on any supply needs at the local Coles, Target or Woolworths. Wander down to the pier to watch the yachts or see what the local fishermen have bought in, or stroll the beachside walking paths. The famous surf beaches are just a short ride away, or just laze about on one of the many beautiful bay beaches.
