We got back today. The trip was alright overall but everyone was a bit sick in different ways. The room was tiny, so I’ll have to be not so cheap next time I decide to go somewhere.
It would have been alright but my girlfriend felt like she was going to throw up most of yesterday so we didn’t have dinner out, which means the boys spent all evening wrestling each other in a tiny hotel room.
Otherwise, we did the dinosaur park, the mornington tourist steam train, and got a great tour of the flight training airport next to the hotel. It was a good trip but a little exhausting at times dealing with the kids.
There are things to do down that way if we went there again, but I don’t think I’m going to rush down for another trip straight away

I lived and worked on the peninsula for many years. I even helped build the Mornington pier!
So I can tell you it’s definitely better in the summer (beaches, markets, carnivals , festivals etc) yes a bit more crowded but a bit more action so book early.

We might do it again at some point. There was no point going to beaches or piers because of the weather so that could be on the cards for next time
