Getting to and around Dromana
Dromana sits about 68km and roughly an hour from Melbourne’s CBD, at the base of Arthurs Seat — the highest point on the Mornington Peninsula and one of its most visited attractions. The town itself is a busy bayside strip with a long beach, but its real drawcard is what sits behind it: the Arthurs Seat Eagle gondola, a cluster of well-regarded wineries on the surrounding slopes, and sweeping views back across Port Phillip Bay to Melbourne on a clear day.
Because Dromana serves as the gateway to Arthurs Seat, a lot of our bookings here are combination trips — a beach stop followed by a gondola ride, or a wine tasting itinerary that starts in town and heads up into the hills.
Why book Melbourne Premium Cab Service here
Dromana’s wineries sit up winding hillside roads that aren’t always straightforward to find, and Arthurs Seat’s summit car park fills quickly on weekends. We know the local routes and can plan a combined beach-and-hills itinerary in one fixed-fare booking, rather than you working out timing between attractions yourself.
