Just one hour from Melbourne, this super modern 46-room boutique hotel concept brings the trifecta - peace, tranquility, and good wine.
Nestled in the stunning Mornington Peninsula, you'll find a women-run winery, restaurant, and hotel all in one place.
Jackalope Hotel, which opened its doors in 2017, is renowned for its whimsical nature and creative branding inspired by a mythical creature called jackalope. This creative concept in combination with natural surroundings, vineyards, beaches, golf courses, and gastronomic institutions makes this entire stay from arrival to departure feel somewhat magical.
Upon arrival, this designer build is quite the contrary to its lush green surrounds. It is this severe contrast that adds to the sense of place this hotel demands.
With avant-garde artist installations and furnishings, including a towering seven-metre tall sculpture made from aluminium, it it this level of activation you will quickly become a custom too. This particular masterpiece of art and engineering found to greet guests within the lobby, was expertly crafted by Emily Floyd, one of Melbourne's most famous artists. Once a historic 18th century Federation cottage facade, this area of the hotel has been expertly transformed - creating a sleek, modern, and sexy space that leaves an unforgettable and lasting impression.
With the smallest room starting at 38 square meters, the “Terrace Room” and “Vineyard” provide stunning outdoor views, while the “Lair” suites measuring up to 85 square meters offer a kitchenette and dining area. Each “Lair” features the Nest Chair designed by the Autobahn design studio, Prometheus III crystal light by Christopher Boots, and Marcel Wander’s design for MOOOI in the form of a container table and Magis Cyborg chairs.
The metal accents reflect the hotel’s black and grey colour scheme, creating an elegant yet modern representation of living. Heavy, black Japanese stone bathtubs found in each room bring out a luxurious quality proving that ever detail here as been very considered.
Whether you're a wine lover, a foodie, a design enthusiast or just looking to escape the city, Jackalope Hotel is worth, dare we say it, jumping down the rabbit hole for.
