Jackalope
At A GlancePositioned on a private vineyard in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula wine region, Jackalope promises an experience to remember. With a colossal, jet-black exterior, the hotel stands in sharp contrast to the lush rolling vines, this juxtaposition a nod to the hotel’s namesake, a mythical creature – part-jackrabbit, part-antelope – that exists only in folklore. Shared spaces are lavished with inhabitable art while the hotel’s 45 rooms are a restrained statement of whites and greys. Two diverse restaurants surprise with contrasting takes on paddock-to-plate food, while a cocktail bar oozing curated cool breathes new life into the property’s old Edwardian homestead. This is a place where the ideal meets the surreal, a place where you will be treated at every turn.

Paddock To PlateTwo diverse restaurants surprise with contrasting takes on farm-to-fork food. Hatted restaurant Doot Doot Doot delivers upscale dining that changes with the season: feast on Frasier Island spanner crab, Hapuka with cauliflower and candied pecans and Black Angus fillet with potato crisps, beetroot and shitake. Or, keep it casual at Rare Hare restaurant with a wood fired pizza or shared platter. Whatever takes your fancy, wash it down with a curated cocktail at Flaggerdoot lounge.

Reverie RoomSteer your overstimulated mind to a better place with a room service ritual. Jackalope offers a range of treatments including massages, facials, manicures and pedicures that will make you feel miles away from modern life. Why not soak in a bath of organic milk, magnesium, lavender and rose water? Or exfoliate with a salt scrub of choice: sandalwood & vanilla bean, coconut lime or coffee? The choice is yours. |  |

A Conceptual Layer In Story TellingThe hotel’s creative narrative, alchemy, is given life through a series of commissions by world-renowned artists and designers - the seemingly magical processes of transformation, creation, or combination are evident in each installation and the hotel’s collection as a whole. The current collection comprises international works by Rick Owens, Nick van Woert, Tatsuo Miyajima and more.
