The story
Vineyard weddings at a striking Mornington hotel
Jackalope Hotel stands on an 11-hectare property on the Mornington Peninsula, with 44 rooms and views over LL Vineyard. The hotel says its allure lies in a striking architectural contrast with the natural surrounds, and calls itself Australia's most striking luxury hotel. Rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, a private terrace and a king bed, with Zuster furniture, heated flooring and Tom Dixon amenities. Dining includes the hatted restaurant Doot Doot Doot, led by Group Executive Chef Michael Wickham, the vine-facing Rare Hare and the Flaggerdoot cocktail bar.
Ceremonies are held on the expansive outdoor terrace in front of the vineyard. Afterwards, the private event space looks over the vines at sunset and is designed for up to 60 guests seated or 100 for cocktails, while Rare Hare can be taken over exclusively for up to 80 guests. Celebrations can be as small as two guests, and a full hotel takeover covers all 44 rooms, the event spaces, the terrace and the restaurants, for up to 140 guests seated or 250 for cocktails. Menus are tailored with the Doot Doot Doot kitchen, and the events team offers private on-site inspections and winter weddings.
