Mornington Peninsula Hot Springs Health & Wellness
- Written by Ashlee Kay
From what started as a bare paddock, Peninsula Hot Springs has become a 30 million dollar facility that is celebrating their 10th anniversary.
Co-owner and CEO Charles Davidson said “We are incredibly grateful to all guests, staff past and present, suppliers, partners, industry, trade and media who have been on this journey with us and helped turn our dream into reality”.
The inspiration for Peninsula Hot Springs came from a time in 1992 when Charles Davidson was living in Japan. He hopped into a hot spring in a town called Kusastsu. It was in the middle of winter and there was snow all around. Charles said “I was in the pools and I had an epiphany. I asked myself, why don't we have this in Australia?” Five years later Charles there was hot water deep underground on the Mornington Peninsula. He then spoke to his brother Richard and asked him if he would like to join him to open a hot springs. Richard said yes, then Charles and Richard went on to purchase the 43 acre property in Fingal in 1997 on which the Peninsula Hot Springs now stands.
