Jackalope Is Now Offering Winter Day Passes for Luxe Wellness Days Without the Sleepover
No room? No problem. Jackalope's new day pass for two is all about the pool, the robe and the vibes — no check-in required.
Set among the rolling vineyards of Merricks North, Jackalope has been one of the Mornington Peninsula's most sought-after stays for the better part of a decade. With its bold design, impressive art collection and first-rate amenities, the boutique hotel brings a slice of thoughtful modern luxury to the stillness of the Peninsula's wine country. And this winter, you can experience some of that signature luxury — no check-in required.
Available Sundays through Thursdays until Tuesday, September 30, the new Winter Day Access package invites two guests to spend the day enjoying the hotel's private pool deck and wellness facilities for $100. It's a rare opportunity to explore one of Australia's most awarded luxury hotels, without an overnight stay.
For $50 each, you and a mate or date will have full-day access (from 9am–5pm) to Jackalope's 30-metre heated infinity pool, private pool deck, outdoor spa and infrared sauna, which all overlook the property's verdant, undulating vineyards. Tea on arrival and Jackalope's signature plush terry-waffle robes complete the experience — and you'll get a pair of slippers to take home, too.
The new wellness-focused day pass taps into Melbourne's growing love affair with both day spas and hot-and-cold therapy, which is having its own moment right now. Jackalope's sleek architectural surrounds bring a contemporary edge to the ritual, which has been shown to improve circulation, muscle recovery and mental clarity. If you're really looking to switch off, you can book a treatment from Jackalope's extensive spa menu, though this isn't included in the day pass.
Of course, a day spent between a picturesque infinity pool and a restorative sauna is bound to build up an appetite — thankfully, you won't have to go far to refuel. Make a day of it with a seasonal long lunch at Rare Hare, Jackalope's hatted restaurant and cellar door, where local produce and estate-made wines take centre stage. Or simply relax by the fire with a drink in hand at Flaggerdoot, the hotel's moody cocktail bar known for its high-concept interiors and inventive drinks with a seasonal edge.
Whether you're escaping the hustle and bustle of city life for the day or looking for day-date with serious wow factor, Jackalope's new offer makes a strong case for giving yourself some time out — and experiencing one of Melbourne's go-to summer destinations in a whole new winter light.
Jackalope's Winter Day Access package is available Sundays through Thursdays until Tuesday, September 30. For more information and to make a reservation, visit the hotel's website.
