The lowdown on the latest in travel

DOOT DOOT DOOT

Opened since April in the year’s most exciting new hotel, Jackalope, Doot Doot Doot is pure destination dining. As moody as the rest of the noir-esque hotel on the Mornington Peninsula, the restaurant turns Victorian produce to pure elegance in the hands of executive chef Guy Stanaway. Choose from either a four- or eight-course menu and sit beneath a huge chandelier of some 10,000 glass orbs, or hop across to Rare Hare, the more casual eatery and new cellar door of Willow Creek Wines. jackalopehotels.com; rarehare.com.au
