JACKALOPE AT WILLOW CREEK VINEYARD

AWARD-WINNING STYLE IN THE MORNINGTON PENINSULA, VICTORIA A one-of-a-kind hotel has put Merricks North, on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, on the world map. The awardwinning Jackalope has 46 lavish yet contemporary rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and outdoor terraces bringing the outdoors in without compromising privacy. The rooms are a destination in themselves with relaxation the utmost priority. Custom cutting-edge design and eye-catching art combine to create a visual spectacle that invites you in and then drops you into the lap of luxury, surrounded by an array of bespoke amenities. The 30-metre black infinity pool serves as a communal haven for guests with the pool and deck affording incredible views of the vineyards below. The deck has a heated plunge pool, spa pavilion and sunbeds.

Jackalope’s commitment to their guests’ comfort extends to wining and dining. The on-site Willow Creek Vineyard produces an excellent array of red and white wines, while for a refined dining experience based around an ever-evolving degustation menu, there’s Doot Doot Doot. The hatted restaurant uses ingredients from its own kitchen garden as well as the finest fare sourced from a select group of Mornington Peninsula producers.

Great wine, incredible food, good design; the perfect escape.
