How good are Mums? They’re nurturers, best friends, protectors, advice-givers, and always happen to know where that certain thing is… Mother’s Day is the perfect reminder to shine love and thanks on all the brilliant women we’re lucky to know and cherish.
Food, food and more food
Nothing says, ‘I love you’ like food. Nothing says, ‘I really love you’ like a whole day of it. Kick-off Mother’s Day with a nourishing breakfast at The Somers General. Established in 1927, this café/ general store hybrid has become something of a community hub- a perfect place to be immersed in the shared Mother’s Day atmosphere. Walk off breakfast across the road on the water’s edge of Somers beach. Scrumptious breakfast and a beach walk with her favourite child- What could be better?
Sugar overload
For all the sweet tooth Mum’s out there, you can never go wrong with gifts of chocolate, but why not take it up a notch with something more memorable- an entire chocolate experience! Mornington Peninsula Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery at Flinders is an unmatched sweets wonderland. With an exquisite range of creative chocolate, ice-creams, brownies, and waffles- whatever your sugary heart desires, they’ve got it. Featuring workshops tailored to those who want to create or would prefer to sit back and taste, this destination has captured the hearts of chocolate lovers, young and old, and can guarantee one happy Mum.
A taste of magic
Enjoy a magical family day of fun at the Enchanted Adventure. If your family no longer consists of youngsters, don’t fret, fun and adventure are not determined by age. Be transported into a magical world as you explore the living work of art made up of creative gardens and sculpted hedges. Spend some time calling out to each other through maze walls, or simply set up a picnic and relish in the joyful atmosphere. Bond over the awesome experience of the high ropes adventure called ‘Tree Surfing’ and conquer over 50 aerial obstacles at up to 10 metres off the ground..
Produce fit for a queen
If you’d prefer to cook for your mum this Mother’s Day, why settle for anything but the best in produce. Whether it’s for a farm-fresh brekkie in bed or a DIY cheese platter picnic, you can’t go wrong with a trip to Tully’s. Priding themselves on their support for local growers, Tully’s make it easier than ever to love our community so it can continue to love us back. To witness the entire farm-to-table process and pick up some homegrown goodies, drop into Torello Farm. A picnic hamper of specialty cheeses, pickles, and meats? Guaranteed, happy Mum.
