Arthurs Seat, Mornington Peninsula
We can assure you, the place has way more on offer than an oversized metal chair.
If you’re looking for a day out that hits every note, then you’d be hard pushed to find a better destination than Arthurs Seat on the Mornington Peninsula.
While the Mornington Peninsula evokes images of gorgeous coastline and lonely beaches, Arthurs Seat brings something different to the table. And this something different is immediately clear as you wind your way up the steep but visually stunning road that takes you to your destination. The views of the coast from Arthurs Seat are some of the best on offer in Victoria - that’s because situated you’re up in the hills looking down on the majestic coastline.
Nestled among the hills is this amazing enclave that is a daytripper’s dream. First of all there is the famous ‘Arthurs Seat Eagle’; a modern gondala ride that offers the kind of panoramics you can only dream of. This is a must for all visitors to the area. The sightseeing is unparalelled and if you’re lucky, you may just spot a kangaroo or two below.
These super modern gondalas are operated by some of the friendliest staff you’ll ever experience.
Moving on to a family favourite, ‘Enchanted Adventure’ is only a 2 minute drive from the Arthurs Seat Eagle. And where do we start with this place. Tree surfing (think treetop challenges and ziplines), tube slides, playgrounds, mazes and the most beautiful gardens make this a top choice with friends and families alike. A real outdoor adventure gem!
One picture can’t truly do this place justice such is the variety of experiences on offer at Enchanted Adventure.
Finally, to end on a truly British note, we highly recommend that you swing by ‘The Pig & Whistle’ British pub for lunch or dinner. Again, only a couple of minutes down the road from Enchanted Adventure, The Pig & Whistle serves up British classics from its bistro menu all set in the kind of beer garden that would not look out of place in the Cotswolds.
The British beer garden vibes on offer at the Pig & Whistle seriously take some beating.
Our top tip for your visit to Arthurs Seat is to plan ahead. If possible, book your tickets for the Arthurs Seat Eagle and Enchanted Adventure ahead of time to avoid disappointment. Definitely book ahead at The Pig & Whistle if you’re planning lunch or dinner as tables are often booked-up quickly.
