3 Best Day Trips from Melbourne to Mornington Peninsula, Daylesford, and the Yarra Valley | Condé Nast Traveler

"There’s nothing that makes a beachside break more authentic than watching boats coming and going, and people fishing on a jetty. You can either dress up in linens or come straight from the beach—brush the sand off first—but just be sure to book a table on the deck if you want to make sure you get a primo position. Best for lunch, although The Rocks Mornington is also open for simple breakfast, as well as dinner—just get there in time for the sunset. Begin a meal with the nigiri of blow-torched king salmon and sambal from the raw bar, before moving on to Mornington mussels steamed with white wine, garlic, and parsley butter, or a locally caught fish—there’s a selection, ranging from garfish to flounder—grilled whole and served with a salad of mushroom, bean shoots, and chili dressing." - Carrie Hutchinson

We were invited by our daughter and her husband to this amazing place, and wow—it was such a great experience. We didn’t even look at the menu or the prices; my daughter ordered a mix of starters and mains for us to share. Every single dish was delicious—each had its own flavor, delicate yet full of taste. It was truly a pleasure for the palate. I was honestly surprised to find such a gem of a restaurant in such a small spot on the peninsula. Totally recommended—even the dessert was outstanding: delicate, flavorful, and just excellent. An incredible experience overall. If you get the chance, go and treat yourself—you won’t regret it!

We live about 45-50 minutes away but make the trip out here for special occasions. Usually a birthday or our anniversary. We almost always go for the chefs special and get little tasters of everything. The other night we were served fresh oysters with an outstanding mignonette - highlight. Ceviche - bit bland, not our thing. (The crudo was sooo much better). Scallops - to die for. Prawns - making my mouth water just thinking about it (wish the portion was bigger.) Calamari - absolute favourite of the night with some sort of capsicum dip that was just an all out flavour bomb. Mussels - in the red sauce (better than the creamy/leek)- one of my favourites and usually our go to (also served with GF bread which was a kind substitute by staff.) Fish - cooked to perfection. Salad - super refreshing. Chips - tasty and crunchy Sorbetto for dessert. All said and done, we were there for about 3 hours. While the atmosphere and the view is gorgeous, the chairs are a nightmare to sit on for that long. We both ended up with sore backs. Next time I think we will just stick to ordering our own selections. The staff are nice enough and attentive with drinks, allergies, clearing plates and cleanliness etc. they’re just not the super chatty/smiley/sociable type. So we tend to just keep the chat to a thanks and move on. I did also notice different treatment of guests on the night that I think struck a chord with a few people. It was a Thursday night, relatively quiet and I assume everyone was there for a special occasion of some sort. One guest was openly sung happy birthday as their dessert was dropped off. But then another guest was not - he made a comment about it and was quickly told happy birthday but a waitress but nothing further. Another table also made a comment about it being a guests birthday, and he was then brought out dessert and sung happy birthday. Upon our booking we made mention of it being a birthday and left a note, but nothing special was done for our table. I know it seems silly but I think - if done for some, then do for all - especially if you’re asking upon the booking if it’s a special occasion. Just made people a bit uncomfortable I think.

During our journey through the Mornington Peninsula, my friend and I stumbled upon a hidden gem of a restaurant that truly surprised us. Nestled in a serene setting, the place is surrounded by the freshness of nature, with soft sunlight streaming through the windows and a gentle sea breeze drifting in — a sense of calm washes over you the moment you step inside. The food was fresh and abundant, each dish carrying the essence of nature combined with the chef’s artistry, slowly awakening the palate with layers of flavor. The service was warm and attentive, with every detail showing care, and the unhurried pace allowed us to let go of the day’s fatigue. That dinner was more than just a feast for the senses — it felt like a moment of peace for the soul. With laughter, fine food, and beautiful scenery intertwined, it became one of the warmest and most cherished memories of our trip. I’ll definitely be coming back!

🧔🏻‍♀️🫶🏻🌸Nestled on the edge of the coastline with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the endless ocean, it is nothing short of spectacular. The service is flawless—attentive yet unobtrusive, with staff who anticipate every need and pair each course with impeccable wine recommendations from a cellar that reads like a love letter to both old-world classics and bold Australian drops. Perfect for everything from lively celebrations to intimate date nights, the spacious yet cozy layout, soft golden lighting, and rhythmic whisper of waves create an ambiance that feels both grand and deeply romantic. Every visit ends with the same thought: this is what world-class dining should feel like.Chinese lady loved🌺🤌🏼

Had another absolutely beautiful meal here on Friday night. The staff were super attentive and the food was excellent. Despite being rather cold outside the open fireplace had the entire restaurant feeling warm and cozy.
