Mountain Vibes Around the Peninsula

After travelling to so many places, I wasn't expecting a mountain vibe on such a short journey from Melbourne City. 'A Beautiful Cabin' is located in Mount Eliza, the perfect escape for a group of friends in need of nature's inebriation.

Our escape was in the middle of Spring time and we enjoyed perfect weather on the Peninsula. Our crew spent days and nights pairing food with local wines, enjoying the property, hiking around the cliffs of Mount Martha and getting tanned at the local beaches.

We wrapped up our weekend by enjoying ourselves around the BBQ and having a therapeutic bath. We packed our bags feeling inspired enough to plan our way back. It was everything we needed after a long week of work, we highly recommend it!

We can't go wrong with a gourmet burger while listening to the sound of the ocean. The South Beach Project Cafe has everything we needed with a beautiful view of the beach.

We enjoyed the beach playing around and getting tanned. The views from above are unique and the little beach houses of the Peninsula stand out.

We were running late for the sunset, but it was such an amazing experience to contemplate the bay area in such a warm light. We enjoyed the company of locals during deep conversations about the stars, who we are in this universe, why we are here, the bible, God and all sorts of existential meanings.
