Rye travel guide and discussion

The Mornington Peninsula is a peninsula located south of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is surrounded by Port Phillip to the west, Western Port to the east and Bass Strait to the south, and is connected to the mainland in the north. Geographically, the peninsula begins its protrusion from the mainland in the area between Pearcedale and an area north of Frankston. The area was originally home to the Mayone-bulluk and Boonwurrung-Balluk clans and formed part of the Boonwurrung nation's territory prior to European settlement. The peninsula is primarily a local tourist region, with popular natural attractions such as the variety of beaches both sheltered and open-sea and many scenic sights and views. Other popular attractions include the various wineries, mazes and the diverse array of water sports made available by the diversity of beaches and calm waters of Port Phillip and Western Port. Most visitors to the peninsula are residents of Melbourne who camp, rent villas and share houses or stay in private beach houses.

Rye, a holiday destination near Melbourne, became even more special this Christmas holiday when we unexpectedly booked a stay at Sunny Side Up B&B Rye. We absolutely loved it! 💕 The hosts are a very friendly couple. Although the booking app mentioned 24-hour check-in, we arrived late only to realize it wasn't actually 24-hour check-in. However, the male host kindly waited for us to check in. The room was very clean and spacious, with all amenities provided except for a toothbrush. For breakfast the next day, you can pre-select your preferences upon check-in and hand it to the hosts. It's essentially a customized gourmet breakfast, and you can enjoy it in the outdoor garden seating area. The Rosebud Beach is just a short distance away, so after breakfast, you can head there to soak up the sun!

I came here just to relax a little… and ended up healing my entire soul. Location is perfect — close to the beach, close to the hot springs, and far away from all my responsibilities. Ideal. The staff were so friendly I almost asked if they wanted to adopt me. In conclusion: I arrived tired and stressed. I left well-rested, peaceful, and considering quitting my job to become a full-time vacation person. 📍Boathouse Boathouse Resort Studios & Suites

I stayed at this hotel with a friend this time and had a wonderful overall experience! The room was clean and tidy, and the space was quite spacious. It was very comfortable for two people and we didn't feel cramped. The bathroom amenities were very thoughtful, with two sets of shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner provided, so we didn't have to worry about running out. Since we checked in at night, I didn't take any special photos. The attached photos are from the morning, and the comforter is a little messy 😆. The pool is right outside the room, and the view is amazing. It's a pity that we didn't get to go in the water because it was too cold, otherwise it would have been even more enjoyable! Overall, this was a great stay, with a comfortable environment and excellent service. I'd definitely stay again if I have the chance! #HotelExperience #AccommodationShare #TravelDiary
