Number 16 Beach & The General Store
One of the Peninsula’s best-kept secrets. Number 16 is a wild, unspoilt ocean beach — dramatic rock formations, the famous Dragon Head Rock, coastal walks through national park and almost no one else around. Grab a coffee and something local from the organic General Store opposite before heading down the dunes. Possibly the best coffee […]
Alba Thermal Springs & Spa
Just 11 minutes from Aquabelle, Alba is one of the Peninsula’s most extraordinary experiences. Set in native bushland in Fingal, 31 contemporary geothermal pools — botanical, forest, rain and private rooftop — await. There’s a day spa and restaurant Thyme, where chef Karen Martini’s seasonal menu is the perfect way to end a long, restorative […]
Stop at Tully’s

Clay Ridge with my lady friends
I had the pleasure of sampling Peninsula Hot Spring’s Clay Ridge on the second last day of summer. The appointment time was 6pm and the light over the surrounding untouched landscape was divine as we walked up from the Bath House. This newly created space flowed seamlessly from the baths below and aptly named Clay Ridge. Six large flat bowls […]
