At Jackalope Hotel Mornington Peninsula, sunlight spills across sculpted vines and black‑lined terraces, where modern architecture meets quiet rebellion, and every corner feels like a story waiting to unfold.

Set within the LL Vineyard on the Mornington Peninsula, just over an hour from Melbourne, Jackalope Hotel is an architectural statement that engages with the land rather than concealing it. Its dark geometric forms rise among the vines, a striking contrast to the soft natural curves of the estate. The property carries a sense of deliberate rhythm—creative, considered, and entirely adult-focused, welcoming guests aged 12 and over. Art, design, and storytelling are embedded throughout, giving the hotel a character that is unmistakably its own.

Guest rooms frame the vineyards with floor-to-ceiling windows, and private terraces invite natural light and fresh air into interiors that are modern, tactile, and understated. King-sized beds face the vineyards, while bathrooms offer rain showers as well as deep-soak Japanese stone baths in first floor rooms.. Select suites expand onto outdoor terraces with fireplaces blending thoughtful design with subtle luxury.

Culinary experiences are intentional and site-specific. Doot Doot Doot presents multi-course tasting menus that highlight seasonal and regional ingredients under a bespoke 10,000 globe chandelier. Rare Hare delivers a more casual yet equally deliberate approach, offering wood-fired plates and a curated wine list across a terrace with vineyard views. Flaggerdoot, the hotel’s bar, experiments with cocktails that balance playfulness and precision, making it an ideal place to linger before or after dinner.

The hotel’s wellness offerings integrate seamlessly into the surroundings. A black infinity pool and heated spa sit poised above the vineyard, while an infrared sauna provides quiet reflection with light streaming across the vines. Seasonal treatments emphasize attunement to the landscape, creating moments that feel as natural as they are restorative.

Jackalope is defined by its layered experiences: vineyard tastings at Cellar Door, curated masterclasses, and intimate creative events that turn every stay into a journey through the Peninsula’s viticulture and artistry.

As twilight descends over LL Vineyard, light softening across the terraces and vines, Jackalope Hotel Mornington Peninsula’s narrative reveals itself fully: a place where design, wine, and the natural world converge, and each moment feels as deliberate and memorable as the first glimpse from the terrace.
