▲ Ashcombe Maze

On the Mornington Peninsula, south of Melbourne, you'll find the largest maze in the Southern Hemisphere, the IELTS Maze and Lavender Garden. Originally part of a farm, many of the trees and plants are over a century old. In 1970, the maze gardens were transformed into a café, and in 1988, the rose maze was transformed. Annual additions and maintenance are carried out, covering approximately 15 hectares, with lavender planted in the summer and roses in the autumn and winter. The park boasts 20 uniquely themed maze gardens, each featuring trees taller than a person. Be careful not to get lost in the 3-meter-tall, intricate mazes! Admire the diverse flowers, listen to the ebb and flow of water from the fountains, and completely relax as you immerse yourself in the idyllic Australian countryside. Note: The hedge maze and rose maze are currently too narrow for wheelchairs or strollers.

▲ Mornington Peninsula Hot Springs

No matter how relaxing your day, you're bound to be tired after a busy day! Soak in the warm, ancient hot springs, a popular local hot spring—book in advance!—to completely unwind. The mineral-rich water is drawn from 637 meters underground. Each bath has a temperature ranging from 12 to 43 degrees Celsius, moisturizing the skin, relaxing muscles, and stimulating blood circulation, all while leaving you feeling refreshed and relaxed. The outdoor hot spring is a mixed pool for men and women, so please bring your own swimsuit.
