Is Blairgowrie a good place to stay on the Mornington Peninsula?
Is Blairgowrie a good place to stay on the Mornington Peninsula?
Yes, for a beach holiday. Blairgowrie sits on the southern tip of the peninsula between Sorrento and Rye, with calm Port Phillip Bay beaches on one side and the Bass Strait back beaches on the other. It's a 5-minute drive to Sorrento, so you're close to its cafes and ferry but staying somewhere quieter.
Which Blairgowrie beaches are patrolled?
Lifeguards patrol the back beaches in summer, not the bay beaches. The bay side at Blairgowrie Front Beach is calm water, but it isn't patrolled.
How far is Blairgowrie from Sorrento?
About a 5-minute drive.
Where can a group of 8 stay in Blairgowrie?
One example is Casa al Mare at 30 Godfrey Street: a new 4-bedroom house that sleeps 8, with a pool heated by a heat pump to about 25°C and a tennis court right next door, through a private gate, yours to use any time during your stay. It's a 5-minute walk to the beach and the shops, and about a 10-minute walk to the back beach.
What else is close by?
Blairgowrie is quieter than Sorrento, with Sorrento’s cafes, shops and ferry a 5-minute drive away.
