Positioned on a private vineyard in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula wine region, Jackalope promises an experience to remember. With a colossal, jet-black exterior, the hotel stands in sharp contrast to the lush rolling vines, this juxtaposition a nod to the hotel’s namesake, a mythical creature – part-jackrabbit, part-antelope – that exists only in folklore. Shared spaces are lavished with inhabitable art while the hotel’s 45 rooms are a restrained statement of whites and greys. Two diverse restaurants surprise with contrasting takes on paddock-to-plate food, while a cocktail bar oozing curated cool breathes new life into the property’s old Edwardian homestead. This is a place where the ideal meets the surreal, a place where you will be treated at every turn.
