ARRIVE IN STYLE – Port Phillip Ferries
Our hotel harkens back to a golden age of Port Phillip Bay, when it was quite the tourist destination. Victorians would travel by paddle steamer and relax in luxury by the sea.
Now you can recapture that feeling with Port Phillip Ferries, direct from Melbourne, a journey that is quicker, but no less beautiful than that of our forebears. Travelling every day between Melbourne, Docklands and Portarlington, soak up the views and delight in the on board café. You’ll feel as though you’re on holidays the second you board the vessel.
