About Dromana (and nearby Rosebud and Rye)
An hour from Melbourne, the coastal resort of Dromana is renowned for their safe
bay beaches, ocean surf beaches, and great golf courses.
Travelling to Dromana, on the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula, is a
tradition for many Melbourne families each summer. With their carnival
atmosphere and safe bay swimming, they provide the perfect opportunity to relax
by the sea.
Sandbars extending up to 200 metres from the shore create ideal conditions for
safe bathing, making Dromana a great place to bring the whole family. The
beautiful bayside beach offers clear calm water perfect for exploring. The more
adventurous can hire a charter boat or a catamaran and set out into the depths
of the bay. If you need to get your surfing fix, head straight to Gunnamatta
Ocean Beach (Rye) for some of the best waves in Victoria. For a great community
experience make your way to the Rosebud Family Festival, which is held on the
last weekend in November.
Point Nepean Road has a plentiful array of shops, including a large shopping
mall, providing everything you'll need for your stay. There are some great wine
bars and cafes that reflect the growing vibrant, cosmopolitan vibe in Dromana.
This area is also close to some of the region's best golf courses, with major
resort-style courses such as Moonah Links, home of the Australian Open
tournament, on the Dunes Golf course only minutes away.
Gardening enthusiasts will find the area has much to offer. Stroll around the
magnificent grounds of Heronswood at Dromana with its sweeping views of Port Phillip Bay.
The Heronswood Garden Festival is held in March and November. You could also
tour McCrae Homestead, one of Victoria’s oldest country homes.
Dromana is approximately one hour from Melbourne via the Nepean Highway and then
