Hearts will soar this weekend at Arthurs Seat Eagle
Arthurs Seat Eagle is taking love to new heights with its ‘Cupid Cabins’ for Valentine’s Day.
Lovers, pal-entines and gal-entines will be able to indulge in a special twilight experience for two aboard a private gondola over the Mornington Peninsula.
Waiting onboard, guests will discover two glasses of T’Gallant sparkling (or alternate beverage), a gourmet grazing platter, a sweet treat from Mornington Peninsula Chocolaterie and a single red rose by local florist, Artful Blooms.
This is the first time guests can enjoy a glass of sparkling for Valentine’s day while gliding in one of the Eagle’s aerial gondolas, taking in the views of Port Phillip Bay and the surrounding state park.
