Hotel Jackalope, Mornington Peninsula

With its sculptural silhouette nestled among the vineyards of the Mornington Peninsula, the Jackalope Hotel offers a contemporary interpretation of Australia. Far removed from the rustic charm typical of wine regions, the hotel adopts a bold and almost dreamlike aesthetic, inspired by the mythical figure of the jackalope, translated into architecture and experience. The interiors combine light, texture, and surprise in a sensory narrative: corridors treated as art installations, a wine cellar with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and an iconic chandelier formed by 10,000 globes, a central element of the hotel's visual identity. The suites reveal a quiet refinement, with Japanese soaking tubs, heated floors, and large windows overlooking the vineyards, creating a constant dialogue between contemporary design and the natural landscape.
