Sunrise on Pulpit Rock at Cape Schanck which overlooks Bass Strait at the southernmost tip of the Mornington Peninsula. It is a rocky point with limestone cliffs and a historic lighthouse built in 1859 that still operates today. It's quite special in some way in that the scenic boardwalk allows you to access the rocky beaches on the Cape along with the rock platforms around Pulpit Rock at the tip of the Cape.
A bit windy but hiking and exploring the tide pools at Cape Schank and Pulpit Rock was worth it.

Ocean view rooms were so peaceful, and had such a beautiful view. Felt overpriced considering there was no bath in the room, and use of the hammam cost extra.

The accommodation was overpriced for what was offered. The bed was on the floor i.e. the base didn't have legs, so it was very low, making it difficult to get in & out.; there was only one chair for the 2 of us. Also, there was no hot water on the morning we left.

We had a ground room with no kitchen or balcony. It was a bit noisy with people outside an stomping on the floor above. Bed was comfortable. 👍 Ps it would have been nice to have hot chocolate as an option for a hot drink but there was only tea and instant coffee.
