Point Nepean played a critical defence role from the 1880s through both World Wars. Closed to the public for more than 100 years, Point Nepean was also home to an historic Quarantine Station which has recently been opened to visitors. Here you can explore the tunnels, forts and gun emplacements from which the first allied shots of World War I and first Australian shots of World War II were fired. You can hire a bike to ride around Port Nepean – and it’s a great experience to do so.

Take an amazing walk with stunning views down to Fort Nepean and visit some historical sights along the way.
Special location where you can see both the Port Phillip bay and the sea! If you are lucky, you can see the Spirit of Tasmania cruises across the mouth of the bay. Wonderful experience and only 30 minutes drive from the property!
It’s a must to visit! The quarantine station is so interesting, maybe more so now we are living through CoVid19 times, Cheviot Beach (where Prime Minister Harold Holt disappeared), Fort Nepean and the wonderful hills, fauna, flora, bird life, ocean and bay. Spend the day, well worth visiting. Plenty of parking. Shuttle bus is available if the walk is too much, this comes with a fee.
