The Homestead is one of Victoria’s oldest, original existing houses, and was built on a large lease in the Port Phillip colony, Arthur’s Seat Run, comprising 33 square miles or 20,500 acres (8,296ha).
The building was designed by Georgiana McCrae who was the illegitimate daughter of the 5th Duke of Gordon, a talented artist and dedicated diarist.
The McCrae family were one of the first six pioneer families to establish properties on the Mornington Peninsula. The homestead has been restored back to its original features and includes many pieces of furniture, art and objects from the McCrae family to create the life of these Scottish migrants and demonstrate the type of lifestyle of pioneer settlers in the Port Phillip Colony.
The Visitor’s Centre, located on the property, features two galleries, one of which is dedicated to the McCrae family and particularly to Georgiana’s art and memorabilia, and the other features incredible photography, artefacts and objects from the Burrell-Twycross family who lived at McCrae Homestead from 1851 to 1926.
This place is fascinating, when you visit it you can feel what early pioneering life would really be like!

Adventure & Action
My favourite (non-wine) horse-riding tour is with Gunnamatta Trail Rides.
The horses are extremely well kept and maintained, very gentle and the scenery along the beach is breathtaking – as is the canter along the beach if you are competent enough.
One of my other favourite things to do is make sure you get to the Peninsula Hot Springs after so that you are not sore for a week! Gunnamatta have special deals going for this.

Tree-surfing … if you love adrenalin rushes it’s simple – you just HAVE to do it!
Here you have a rare opportunity to do zip-lining in Australia: an exhilarating adventure climbing course set in the beautiful woodland Sculpture Park of the Enchanted Adventure Garden.
The adventure begins from a 10-meter elevation, high in the tree canopy, and you traverse through suspended rope bridges and wire balances.
The feeling as you you surf through the trees on a thrilling zipline is out of this world!

About this Golf Course:
This links style layout is set amongst rolling sand dunes adjoining Point Nepean National Park. Portsea ranks as one of the top courses on the peninsula and consistently rates in the Top 50 courses of Australia.
A number of design improvements to bunkering, tees and greens have further enhanced the course in recent years. With superbly maintained couch fairways and well drained soils, Portsea is an enjoyable if not challenging experience all year round.
Portsea hosts state and national events, complemented by their own prestigious 72 hole Open Amateur and the iconic Portsea Pro-Am. The Pro-Am on January 2 each year attracts a quality field of professionals, amateurs and celebrities who entertain a huge crowd of golfers, families and holiday makers.
Portsea welcomes visitors Sun-Fri and our fully licensed clubhouse is open 7 days offering light meals and refreshments. “Portsea stimulates me. It is in every way a champion’s course.” - Peter Thomson

About this Golf Course:
“Where the View is Worth the Drive”. This is a truly beautiful public golf course with views that stretch from Port Phillip Bay to Bass Strait.
The course was opened in 1956 on Crown Land and has well grassed and watered fairways, challenging greens and well placed bunkers. Excellent use has been made of the hillside location with a relatively flat front 9 holes and a more demanding back 9 holes.
This is a quality golf course at a very low price – every day! Rosebud Park welcomes the casual and experienced golfer and guarantees good all-year-round playing conditions. Bookings for golf at weekends are essential. Modern and free undercover picnic facilities with electric barbecues and picnic tables have been provided for social groups and picnic parties. A short but informative and easy environmental bush walk has also been developed adjacent to the golf course and is worth a look.
