Mornington Peninsula Hot Springs

## Overview Mornington Peninsula Hot Springs is a premium geothermal bathing destination located in Fingal, Victoria, Australia — about 90 minutes south of Melbourne on the scenic Mornington Peninsula. Officially known as Peninsula Hot Springs, this privately operated facility draws naturally heated, mineral-rich thermal water from deep underground aquifers. The hot spring water is reported to contain a variety of beneficial minerals, and the site has become one of Australia's most popular thermal bathing experiences since it first opened to the public in 2005. The facility sits on a 30-hectare property and features a wide range of geothermal pools at varying temperatures, set among rolling hillside terrain with views toward the surrounding countryside. Visitors can choose from over 50 globally inspired bathing experiences, including hilltop pools, cave pools, Turkish hammam-style baths, and reflexology walks. Beyond bathing, the site offers spa treatments, dining options, an on-site shop, and accommodation packages. Please note: the spring is sometimes referred to as "Mornington Hot Springs" in informal listings, but its official name is Peninsula Hot Springs. The water has been described by visitors as soothing and restorative, and the facility promotes the mineral content of its geothermal water as part of the wellness experience. However, no specific medical claims should be taken as guaranteed. ## Directions The full address is **140 Springs Lane, Fingal VIC 3939, Australia**.
