Flinders Pier
Discovered by Alice
We enjoyed a nice stroll down Flinders pier before heading off to explore Cape Schanck.
Two Bays Walking Track
Discovered by Alice
This walk takes around an hour return (we took our time) with great views and we even got to watch some surfers in action.
Georgie Bass Cafe Cookery
Discovered by Alice
Feeling a bit peckish we hit the cute little town of Flinders for brunch at Georgie Bass Café & Cookery which also offers cooking classes if you're inclined
Stand Up Paddle
Learn to stand up paddle in the beautiful Port Phillip Bay. Book a lesson with Peninsula Stand up Paddle who are located on the Sorrento foreshore during summer. The calm waters make for perfect learning conditions. There are also options to hire a board and head out on your own SUP adventure.
Coastal Walks
With nearly 100 walking tracks on the Peninsula means you’re spoilt for choice. Choose from easy coastal walks including beaches, piers, clifftops, historic sites and villages for a lazy coffee. Head inland for beautiful bush walks, bird-filled wetlands, pretty creeks and ocean views.
Fishing At Flinders Pier
The Flinders Pier is a large pier made from wood. At the end of the pier the water is about 6m deep with sand and seaweed patches surrounding the area. It is the weed that provides shelter for calamari, while whiting feed in the sand patches. Soft plastic anglers can also fish from this pier as the water is usually crystal clear and the tide doesn’t run too hard in this area.
Cape Schanck Lighthouse
Cape Schanck Lighthouse Reserve offers short walks, lookouts and picnic facilities in a unique 19th century light station setting. This can also be the starting point to walk to Bushrangers Bay, a stunning secluded beach surrounded by bush.
Swimming Snorkelling
Westernport Bay is a stunning location for swimming and snorkelling. Explore the crystal clear waters around the piers and take in the magical underwater sea creatures. During low tide it is also possible to snorkel the rock pools at the back beaches.
Exploring The Local Area
Flinders is uniquely positioned at the western tip of Western Port Bay, so it's the heel of the Mornington Peninsula's boot. So you can experience both the wind-protected and mellow bay beaches and the wild ocean shores in the same walk.
Flinders ocean beach features the protected Mushroom Reef, which offers an underwater paradise to ocean lovers and a myriad of breaks for surfers. Inside the bay, the jetty is ideal for scuba divers and snorkellers to discover weedy seadragons, colourful sponges, giant rays and octopus. The pier is also popular with anglers and jetty jumpers.
The bay is also a great place for kayaking and stand up paddling, with some gentle, long waves rolling on the points.
There's a load of great walking options, around the village, beaches or just down the road at the beautiful bushrangers Bay. For those more adventurous, the Two Bays Trail lets you explore the peninsula's green wedge which is rich in biodiversity.

Hi, we are Annie, Jamie & Dot.
We are mad about all things retro, mid-century, quirky and fun.
We spend every spare minute op shopping, garage sale-ing and treasure hunting to add more and more 'dust collectors' to our two lovely pads.
A bit about us... Annie loves to sew and craft; Jamie loves to surf and paddle board. Dot loves to read and get creative. Between us we have three green thumbs; we like eating out and we love to travel. Our idea of a great holiday is feeling at home, even when we're hundreds of miles away. We've never been lovers of clinical rooms with all white sheets & towels and the bare minimum of crockery and decor. We love the busy, the colourful, the eclectic and the things that make you smile.
We really hope our seaside pad 'The Nuthouse’ makes you smile as much as it does us :)

My girlfriend booked the nuthouse for a three day getaway and we were blown away by it! The house itself is this time warp back to the 70s and we had such a blast relaxing by the fire and exploring flinders. Hands down a 10/10.

What a beautiful relaxing and stylish house in such a peaceful place. We sat by the fire reading and enjoying records and watched the stars and the rain from inside, was bliss!
An older style house very well styled and with everything you need for a weekender.

We had a fabulous time at the Nuthouse! It's such a gorgeous and cosy retro getaway. The house is beautifully styled and is filled with lots of quirky trinkets. We would highly recommend staying at the Nuthouse.
