New Experiences
When it comes to new experiences, there are plenty to shine a light on! While Enchanted Adventure: The Home Of Tree Surfing in Arthurs Seat have welcomed three new tube slides, Boneo Discovery Park in Fingal are excited to introduce their new Rock ‘n’ Rope adventure! The tadpole zip line course has participants climbing and balancing their way through trees before soaring through the sky on a flying fox! For a bite to eat, make sure to stop by TAR BARREL Brewery & Distillery in Mornington for a taste of their scrumptious new BBQ menu. And don’t forget about the summer picnics at St Andrews Beach Brewery - a real treat for all! This summertime, also make sure to check out the newly introduced Food Bowl at Peninsula Hot Springs in Fingal (with workshops and tours on offer) and Hotel Sorrento’s Shi Hui Shi restaurant - where Cantonese cuisine combines with a curated selection of cocktails.
Top Spots To Visit
So while these great spots are not new, they will be on the hotlist to visit this year! Everyone loves a delicious sweet strawberry and this summer we see the relaunch of Rocky Creek Strawberry Farm in Main Ridge (formerly known as Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm). With ownership returning to the family that started the whole experience, everything old will be new once again! Finally, Pt. Leo Estate in Merricks is welcoming the much-anticipated return of their two dining spaces - the Pt. Leo Restaurant and Laura - from early December, following a tragic fire at the Estate in May. With new seasonal menus on show, the team here is ready to indulge you in an incredible wine, dine and art experience.
