ABOUT US

Formerly known as Merricks Lodge, Peninsula Outdoors has evolved into a leading coastal destination for group experiences on the Mornington Peninsula.

​

Located just 90 minutes from Melbourne, we specialise in delivering premium outdoor education programs for schools, while also hosting retreats, sports groups, and private gatherings seeking a unique and well-managed coastal setting.

​

Our approach is built around creating experiences that are both engaging and seamless. For school groups, this means structured programs designed to develop confidence, leadership, and real-world resilience through ocean-based learning and outdoor challenges. For other groups, it means a flexible, well-equipped venue supported by experienced staff and a thoughtfully designed environment.

​

Set across 17 acres of open coastal landscape, the property offers a balance of space, functionality, and natural beauty. Accommodation is designed to comfortably host large groups, while maintaining a clear separation between student and staff or group leaders, ensuring both comfort and practicality.

​

What sets Peninsula Outdoors apart is not just the location, but the way each experience is delivered. With integrated transport, access to our in-house surf school, and a team experienced in managing group logistics, we take care of the details so that every group can focus on getting the most out of their time on site.

​

Whether it’s a school camp, leadership program, team retreat, or group getaway, Peninsula Outdoors provides a setting where people can connect, challenge themselves, and create lasting memories.
