Escape to the top of the bay

Nestled in amongst the trees in Arthurs Seat, Escape To The Top Of The Bay has something for everyone!!

Gaze out toward the city skyline with 360 deg water and bush views and a broad sweep of the peninsula's hinterland. Sit back on the wide entertaining deck and watch the passing parade of ships, pleasure craft and our beautiful Mornington Peninsula birdlife.

Watch the Arthur's Seat chairlift from the upper level and enjoy the same views people are queuing up to see.
