Want a beach-side holiday with access to the finest wineries and golf
course?
Then book some Flinders accommodation and
come have fun on the Mornington Peninsula!
With a population of just over 700 souls, Flinders is a small town 86
kilometers south of Melbourne at a place
where the Bass Strait meets the Western
Port.
Despite its small size, Flinders is a popular tourist destination due
to the presence of its unique golf course operated by the Flinders
Golf Club.
How unique?
It is located atop a cliff on Bass Street!
Other attractions include a recreation reserve and a pier where fishing
and sailing happens year-round.
Or you can always hop to the surrounding wineries, surf beaches,
markets and restaurants!
Flinders Accommodation #1:
Flinders Cove Motel
Admittedly, the Flinders Cove Motel is
modest in all aspects. However, you will not feel shortchanged with its
facilities and amenities simply because the quiet atmosphere and the
relaxed ambience more than make up for the modesty.
You will enjoy the fact that the rooms are adequately equipped with
queen-size beds, refrigerator and beverage facility, hairdryers and
television with video player, a phone and, best of all, a private
courtyard. Plus, everything is clean, comfortable and charming! What
more can you ask for in a reasonably priced motel in a small town like
Flinders?
If you are planning to hold business conferences in Flinders, the
Flinders Cove Motel offers satisfactory accommodations for large
groups. Your group can have full use of the indoor heated pool, the spa
and the sauna, in addition to the conference and business facilities.
Think of it as combining business and pleasure!
Yet another hotel that surprises in the small town is the Flinders
Hotel. The accommodations are expectedly on the
moderately luxurious side although the other facilities are its main
attractions.
Since Flinders is surrounded by farms and wineries, you can expect to
be treated to sumptuous food and fine wine at all hours of the day. And
if you have kids, don�t worry about their boisterousness ruining a
fine meal as the Flinders Hotel has a kids� playground where they can
be served their own food.
Also, do not pass up on the bar and bottle shop for the best wines from
the region. Flinders might be small but its wine and spirit selections
are anything but small!
For an atmosphere closer to small-town living, the Papillon
B&B might just do the trick for you. It has two
self-contained apartments with separate entrances and parking areas.
And when they say self-contained, they mean it because both units are
furnished with kitchen appliances and furniture to make them a home
away from home.
And because the owners live within the premises, you are assured of
assistance virtually anytime of the day you stay at Papillon
B&B. Now, if that isn�t small-town hospitality, then we
don�t know what else is there! And did we mention that a sumptuous
basket breakfast is provided every morning of your stay? Definitely
heaven on Flinders!
