Jackalope Hotel
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia · Virtuoso · 2026 benefits
Jackalope is like nothing Australia has seen before. A new standard in luxury accommodation, Jackalope promises an experience to remember. Just one hour from Melbourne, Jackalope is set on a pristine property amid the Mornington Peninsula wine region. Here, an intoxicating vineyard acreage frames a luxury hotel unique in both destination and design. Highlights include 44 designer dens, immersive wine and culinary experiences and a striking, black 30-metre infinity pool overlooking the vines. Jackalope only welcomes guests 12 years and over. The freedom of our all-inclusive minibars means that this policy is also applicable infants and toddlers.
Unapologetically modern, Jackalope Hotel is as surreal as its namesake mythical creature. This boldly offbeat hotel invites guests to escape from reality – easily accomplished while soaking in the 100-foot, jet-black infinity pool overlooking 28 acres of rolling vines. A curated collection of modern artworks dots the estate and muted walls of 44 “designer dens,” while the original 1876 homestead has been resurrected as the clubby Flaggerdoot bar. Farm-to-fork Doot Doot Doot restaurant shines a 10,000-bulb chandelier on artisan producers from around the Mornington Peninsula.
