When you're in the thick of it, you're likely to think about those vacation days you have yet to spend. You're also probably imagining yourself and a significant other, taking a long weekend to unwind and remove all distractions.
Mornington Peninsula offers accommodations one typically looks for in a tranquil, romantic weekend. Between the gentle undertows of the sea and tumbling, golden hills, you'd be hard-pressed to find another place that provides such splendour.
A breathtaking landscape isn't the only staple of a weekend full of romance. Listed below are four essentials for a tender, amorous escape:
1. Candlelight
Sure, it sounds cheesy – the type of advice one would find in a Nicholas Sparks novel. Still, there's something very soothing about candlelight. It provides a sense of comfort, as if nothing in the world could go wrong.
Not to mention, you also have the opportunity to experiment with different fragrances. According to Alicia Vilas, a teacher and candle connoisseur, Jasmine delivers deep relaxation with a hint of sensuality. Rose is another scent that helps people establish a sense of balance.
2. Hot springs
If you're looking for hot springs in Victoria, look no further than Peninsula Hot Springs, Mornington Peninsula's premiere, natural spa treatment facility. This day spa centre uses natural thermal mineral waters that flow in and out of indoor and outdoor pools.
Probably one of the most sought-after attractions in the region, the hot springs make for an idyllic romantic retreat. Imagine settling into a private, open-aired pool with your partner, letting time slip slowly away. Sounds nice, doesn't it?
3. Seaside horseback riding
It's nice to get out and experience an area as beautiful as Mornington Peninsula, especially with your significant other. What better way to do it than on horseback?
Gunnamatta Trail Rides provides the chance to explore the region's seacoast under a brilliant afternoon sun or in the twilight hours. Ever watch the sunrise over the ocean? The feeling you get is akin to nostalgia.
4. Some laid-back nightlife
Just because you want to take a weekend for you and your partner doesn't mean you want to shut the two of you off from the rest of the world. Mornington Peninsula can be quite fun if you know where to go.
Brass Razu prides itself on being one of the classiest wine bars in the region, offering everything from Rieslings to Cabernet blends. If you want to meet some interesting people with your significant other, this bar is definitely the place to be.
