A favourite curated event every winter, this is the perfect excuse to bathe in the natural geothermal mineral waters with friends or a loved one while watching your favourite film.

The experience is complimentary with Bath House bathing, so grab your bathers, connect with your friends and family, and head to Peninsula Hot Springs on a Thursday evening, screenings commence at 6.30pm in the Amphitheatre.

An ideal location for Melburnians, it’s actually easier to get to the Springs if you’re coming from Geelong via the ferry. Definitely, the most scenic way to get across Port Phillip Bay from Queenscliff to Sorrento, it’s also pretty efficient, taking around 40 minutes to get you across the large stretch of coastline. From there, it’s about an 18-minute drive (or Uber) to the hot springs.

While the movies are great alone, the springs are estimated to be over ten thousand years old, with water rising 637 metres from below the earth’s surface and heated naturally by the earth’s core. The springs are high in magnesium, boron, potassium, and sodium, all naturally occurring in the geothermal waters. Definitely worth getting a little pruny for this one!
