Our park is a true community hub, providing a fantastic and safe environment for families, couples, and groups to relax and explore. We are perfectly positioned just a short walk from the calm, sandy shores of Dromana Beach and the town’s vibrant strip of cafes and shops. This ideal location makes us the perfect base for discovering all the treasures of the peninsula, from the world-class wineries of Red Hill to the exhilarating adventures atop Arthurs Seat.The park is brimming with facilities designed for fun and relaxation. Enjoy a swim whatever the weather in our solar-heated indoor pool, complete with a toddler wading area. Gather with friends and family on the village green for a classic Aussie barbeque, or spend an afternoon in the games room. We offer a range of accommodation to suit every need, from modern, fully self-contained cabins to spacious powered sites with concrete slabs for caravans and motorhomes. From here, your peninsula adventure awaits. Take a scenic gondola ride on the Arthurs Seat Eagle, get lost in the Ashcombe Maze, unwind at the Peninsula Hot Springs, or simply enjoy a relaxing day of fishing and swimming at the nearby beach. For a holiday that combines a friendly community vibe with endless local attractions, Peninsula Holiday Park is your perfect home away from home.
