Jackalope

Mornington Peninsula, Victoria

At A Glance

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.

Come to the Lair

Stay in one of 45 contemporary and well-appointed rooms. Overlooking the Willow Creek Vineyard, the Signature Suites boast an open floor plan, loft ceilings and an expansive terrace creating a sense of tranquillity and space. A double sided indoor/outdoor fireplace warms the room and terrace (both of which have lounging and dining areas), while the bathroom’s deep soak Japanese bath, double rain showers and double vanities create a spa-like experience. The king size bed is a treat at the end of a busy day. Snuggle up in the luxurious bedding and wish to never leave. (Upgrades available).

Paddock To Plate

Two diverse restaurants surprise with contrasting takes on farm-to-fork food. Hatted restaurant Doot Doot Doot delivers upscale dining that changes with the season: feast on Frasier Island spanner crab, Hapuka with cauliflower and candied pecans and Black Angus fillet with potato crisps, beetroot and shitake. Or, keep it casual at Rare Hare restaurant with a wood fired pizza or shared platter. Whatever takes your fancy, wash it down with a curated cocktail at Flaggerdoot lounge.

 

Reverie Room

Steer your overstimulated mind to a better place with a room service ritual. Jackalope offers a range of treatments including massages, facials, manicures and pedicures that will make you feel miles away from modern life. Why not soak in a bath of organic milk, magnesium, lavender and rose water? Or exfoliate with a salt scrub of choice: sandalwood & vanilla bean, coconut lime or coffee? The choice is yours.

A Conceptual Layer In Story Telling

The hotel’s creative narrative, alchemy, is given life through a series of commissions by world-renowned artists and designers - the seemingly magical processes of transformation, creation, or combination are evident in each installation and the hotel’s collection as a whole. The current collection comprises international works by Rick Owens, Nick van Woert, Tatsuo Miyajima and more.
