Peninsula Hot Springs is at 140 Springs Lane, Fingal, and describes itself as just 90 minutes from Melbourne. This guide sets out what its own pages say about getting there by car, public transport, ferry and day tour, what the Bath House costs as of 9 November 2026, and what you can and cannot bring.
How long does it take to drive from Melbourne?
Peninsula Hot Springs says it will take roughly 90 minutes to reach it from Melbourne by car or chauffeured service, including taxi and Uber. Its Getting here page says it offers ample on-site parking, with accessible spaces, a separate parking area for accommodation guests, and EV chargers for electric vehicles. It gives no parking fee.
Can I get there by public transport?
Only with a taxi at the end. The Getting here page says public transport options are minimal. If travelling from Melbourne, board a Frankston line train to Frankston, then take the No. 788 bus to Rye, where you take a taxi or Uber. The FAQ gives the same route and adds that you can walk from Rye, which takes approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes, and warns that the walk is along a busy road with a high speed limit.

How much does the Bath House cost?
These are the Bath House bathing prices on Peninsula Hot Springs’ price list, which is a PDF; the figures below were read from the PDF as of 9 November 2026. Early-bird applies to arrival before 9am, with 8:30am as the last available booking time, and twilight applies to arrival after 6pm.

Towel, robe and locker are available for hire. The price list says all bathing bookings made on the same day as your visit are subject to availability and incur a 10 per cent premium, and public holidays incur a 10 per cent surcharge. The plan your visit page says the same, and adds that this applies whether the booking is made online, over the phone or at reception. The FAQ adds that the public holiday surcharge applies to bookings on Victorian public holidays, and that an experience with a weekday special price is charged at the weekend rate plus the 10 per cent.
The Spa Dreaming Centre has its own prices. The price list shows twilight bathing (arrive after 6pm), for which it lists no Friday or Saturday price, at $95 for adults from Monday to Thursday and $105 on Sunday; a reset bathing price of $125 from Monday to Friday and $135 on Saturday and Sunday; and Moonlit bathing for guests aged 18 and over at $80 on Friday and $90 on Saturday. Peninsula Hot Springs notes that all spa and dining packages include towel, robe and locker hire and access to both the Spa Dreaming Centre and the Bath House. The price list also lists a weekday getaway for two at $235 that is valid Monday to Friday outside public and school holidays.
What can I change or cancel?
Peninsula Hot Springs says it has a 24 hour cancellation and amendment policy for all bookings except accommodation, and that cancellations or changes made within 24 hours are charged the full amount. The FAQ says guests who feel unwell are encouraged to reschedule, with at least 24 hours’ notice where possible.
What should I bring and what should I leave at home?
| Bring | Leave at home |
|---|---|
| Swimwear; appropriate footwear for wet areas; a reusable drink bottle, because filtered water taps are on site and plastic bottles are no longer sold; concession or discount cards | Prams, because of the safety layout of the Bath House (leave at home or in the car); valuables or jewellery, because mineral water may tarnish jewellery; inflatable devices; pets, other than service dogs; glass bottles and glassware; BYO alcohol |
Peninsula Hot Springs offers discounts for Concession and Seniors card holders, and free entry for the support person of a Companion Card holder. Children 15 years and younger must be accompanied by an adult at all times in the Bath House. The Spa Dreaming Centre is for guests aged 16 and over, and Moonlit bathing and accommodation are for guests aged 18 and over.
Can I bathe if I am pregnant?
The FAQ says Peninsula Hot Springs does not recommend bathing in the hot spring pools during pregnancy, and offers customised spa packages for pregnant guests that include a private bath filled with a blend of hot and cold spring water. It asks pregnant guests to consult their doctor before booking, and reception will ask guests to sign a waiver on arrival. For accessibility questions, the FAQ points to the Reservations team on 03 5950 8777 and to its Accessibility page.
What is still unknown?
The pages we read do not give a parking fee, day tour prices or departure times, the bus 788 timetable, the Searoad ferry fare, or how the Fingal site connects by road to the ferry terminals. Prices were read from a PDF price list, and the weekday and weekend tables were transcribed by eye from it, so the PDF is the reference for any difference.
