Highlights
Outing Highlights
Ashcombe Maze & Lavender
A cultivated stretch of lavender and a classic labyrinth provide the aromatic, rural counterpoint to the peninsula’s coastline — a calm, photographic stop early in the day that’s included on common routes.
Peninsula Hot Springs
A multi‑hour visit to the peninsula’s well‑known thermal pools is a central stop on the itinerary, giving travelers an extended window for relaxation and thermal bathing.
Brighton Beach Bathing Boxes
Brighton’s rainbow bathing boxes provide a graphic seaside finish to the circuit and a short, scenic visit before the return run to Melbourne.
