Bayside accommodation must be the most sought after of all with its wonderful seascape views and cool breezes. Add to that the convenience of being close to the bay for fishing and boating pursuits and you will see why accommodation rates are often at a premium. So if you can find affordable mentone accommodation then you will be sure to snap it up. Such accommodation is available at the Mentone Hotel - very close to the water - while there is sure to be a mentone motel only a hop, skip and jump away.
Mordialloc accommodation is right on the water front and you can easily find such necessities as bait shops; fishing shops and boat hire places close by. This will allow you to get all your fishing needs attended to quickly so that you can spend more time out on the water after that big catch. And if you are holidaying with the children, it is only a step or two to sand and water, the two things that most kids like best.
Cheltenham Accommodation is also available and that is quite close to the bay too, with only about three blocks to traverse before getting to that Beach Road. Besides that, when you stay at Cheltenham you are within comfortable driving distance to many Mornington Peninsula vineyards and famous beach resorts. There are also famous golf courses at Cheltenham with Patterson Lakes and River in the near vicinity. So if you dont feel like going fishing or boating you can play a round of golf instead, or check out those vineyards - many of which have a cellar door.
And for those who are into art and culture, wandering around Bayside City will bring you into view of some of those marvellous seascapes and other beach scenes painted by many famous artists including Henry Burns and John Percival. In fact you can get a brochure that shows you exactly where many of these scenes are.
