Getting to and around Mount Martha
Mount Martha sits about 64km and roughly 55 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD, between Mornington and Dromana on the Peninsula’s bay coastline. It’s a leafy, more residential town than its busier neighbours, known for two distinct beaches — Mount Martha North and South — separated by wooded cliffs, along with The Briars, a heritage homestead and wetlands reserve that draws walkers and history visitors alike.
The town’s quieter character means it sees less day-tripper traffic than Mornington or Rosebud, with more of its bookings coming from residents, weekenders with holiday houses, and guests attending the area’s private functions and weddings.
Why book Melbourne Premium Cab Service here
Mount Martha’s beaches sit down steep cliff paths with limited nearby parking, and its residential streets can be tricky to navigate for a driver unfamiliar with the area. We know the local layout, and for wedding or function bookings at the area’s private venues, we confirm the driver and vehicle in advance rather than leaving it to app availability.
