What’s on
There is no shortage of things to do at The Mornington.
The centrally located and recently renovated Clubhouse overlooks our beautiful lake and gardens and includes a Lounge, The Seabird Restaurant, Clubhouse Barista Café, Activities Room, Billiard Room, Library and Kiosk.
Our Residents Committee is very active, organising monthly dinners and events, as well as a weekly Happy Hour for residents.
Whether you are a keen craftsperson, lawn bowler, movie buff, billiard player, footy tipper or yoga guru, you are sure to find some likeminded friends in one of our interest groups.
There are also plenty of opportunities to get out and about on one of our regular shopping trips or bus outings to explore the beautiful Mornington Peninsula.
