With its vineyards and collection of quirky little cafes, Mornington is a bright shining star in Australia’s culinary industry. Assaggini Wine and Tapas Bar is one such star, with share platters full of little nibbles like olives, locally made bread and cold meats. Choose a wine from their menu, and since it’s a wine bar, you know that the list they offer will be good. A lot of the menu is designed for sharing, so ordering a few dishes allows for you to sample everything that you’ve ordered. There’s also a vegan menu for those who can’t eat certain items, so that everyone can enjoy what the bar has to offer. Locals boast that the coffee from The Boyz 4 Breakie is the best in the city. With their breakfast and lunch menu, they also don’t disappoint when it comes to food. From toasted sandwiches to wagyu beef sliders to chorizo omelettes, you can go to the Boyz and they’ll feed you well so that you won’t want or need to snack before dinner. Influenced by Italian and Meditteranean cuisine, Manhattan in Mornington is one of the places you can go to for a good time and great food. There are different variations of pasta and risotto, pork belly and, of course, pizza. Share a platter from the menu, from sausages to homemade meatballs.

Because it’s a seaside town, Mornington is a popular place for city dwellers to just relax and take a break from the daily grind. There are commercial storage units and rooms for you to use, listed by National Storage. Additionally to these units, residential garage spaces and yards are listed, so if you’ve got a larger vehicle, such as a van, caravan or boat, it will be able to fit nice and neatly into the space.

Tyabb Road goes straight through the suburb, and other main roads intersect it so that you can come from any direction. The Mornington Peninsula Freeway leads you from Melbourne into Mornington, which makes it easy for people living in the city to travel back and forth for short periods of time.
