Jackalope Hotel

Located on the Mornington Peninsula’s famed Willow Creek Vineyard, Jackalope is a design-driven boutique hotel offering a bold, sensory retreat surrounded by cool-climate vines. With just 44 rooms and suites, the property balances avant-garde aesthetics with serene, vineyard-side luxury. Floor-to-ceiling windows, private terraces, sculptural furnishings, and moody, curated lighting set a cinematic tone, while select suites feature spa tubs, premium amenities, and expansive views. The signature suite, The Lair, offers an elevated private experience with a deep-soak tub, personal bar, and wraparound vineyard panoramas. Willow Creek Vineyard anchors the hotel’s identity, producing small-batch wines that reflect Mornington’s maritime terroir. Guests can explore estate varietals such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Sauvignon Blanc through curated tastings, vineyard tours, and wine-focused dining experiences. Limited-release and on-site-only vintages deepen the sense of place. Dining at Jackalope showcases regional produce through contrasting culinary experiences. Doot Doot Doot delivers innovative tasting menus beneath its dramatic ceiling installation of 10,000 lights, while Rare Hare offers a relaxed, vineyard-view setting featuring wood-fired dishes and a standout wine list. Private chef’s dinners and pairing menus provide more immersive gastronomic moments. The hotel’s atmosphere blends art, nature, and wellness, with a black-tiled infinity pool overlooking the vines, spa treatments, fitness sessions, and bespoke excursions ranging from coastal hikes and winery tours to hot-air ballooning and horseback riding. Jackalope is also a striking venue for contemporary vineyard weddings and events, offering outdoor ceremony spaces, refined reception venues, and tailored planning with elevated culinary programs. Exclusive buyouts allow for intimate celebrations and fully private stays. Beyond the estate, guests can explore the Mornington Peninsula’s cellar doors, beaches, clifftop walks, marine reserves, galleries, and farm-to-table markets. Jackalope is a destination designed for travelers seeking bold design, exceptional wine, and a deeper connection to the region’s coastal landscape.
