5:20 Danger saying "I love it so much when you are happy" resonated with me so hard. Exactly how I feel when my wife is happy as well.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Aww that's so nice. You must be an amazing husband too then 😊 - Stace

[@nikkilogan7726]

That spa is very beautiful! Also, Stacey's eyes pops-out when she ate the cookie. Thanks

[@DaneAndStacey]

[@michaelhall8586]

Mornington peninsula is so amazing

[@DaneAndStacey]

Yess! 😊

[@marinonugter]

Alba Hot Springs is nice, but we definitely prefer Peninsula Hot Springs just down the rd. Love your videos, keep em coming guys

[@DaneAndStacey]

Ooh interesting, why's that? We'll have to visit Peninsula Hot Springs next time! Thanks so much 😊

[@bookwormfaith]

Mornington is also a good place to try & spot southern lights if the aurora gods allow XD next time you're in mornington, I'd suggest popping down to the Cape Schank Lighthouse - the walks around there are great if you like coastal walks (unless its stormy haha). In regards to the Dandenong Ranges, there's a lovely little chocolate shop called Only Mine in Olinda, near the Dandenong Botanic Gardens (also a lovely place to take a stroll, especially in spring or autumn or in rose season)

[@DaneAndStacey]

Ooh yes that was on our list but we ran out of time! Putting the choccy shop on our list for next time, thank you 😊

[@rubyruby1847]

Thanks for showcasing the gorgeous Mornington Peninsula. I have lived on the Mornington Peninsula my whole life, it is a beautiful place to live. It has everything and the city is only an hour away when you feel like a Melbourne getaway.

[@DaneAndStacey]

We love it too! Thanks for watching!

[@berkeleybum]

This series has been so fun! It's helping me scratch the travel itch even though I'm trapped in my apartment due to a heat wave 😂

[@DaneAndStacey]

Sort of wish we could have some of your heat wave 🤣 it's so cold back in NZ! Happy to hear you've enjoyed the series 😊

[@stuartnewman2675]

Next time you are in Melbourne guys head down the other side to Ballarat and Bendgo.....lots of lovely things to see in and around the Goldfields areas.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Ooh yes, that's on our list for next time. Great recommendation thanks!

[@allan_nz00]

Yup! Gotta love Melbs ... Oh, & wine 😍

[@DaneAndStacey]

Ohhh what area do you live? Such a stunning location, we loved it

[@livertic]

Lived here for my whole 59 years. Been all over the world, still come home to Frankston.@@DaneAndStacey

[@thewaddler729]

Come back soon guys 🙏

[@DaneAndStacey]

Genuinely hope we can... not just for the cookie... but kind of for the cookie 🤣

[@sianikolaou5440]

Uh no, you missed going to Moonlit Sanctuary which is in Pearcedale, a 30 minute drive from Mornington. I recommend doing the Night Tour because you get to see most of the animals being active since they are nocturnal.

[@DaneAndStacey]

We will have to Google this!

[@mickp10]

Mornington Peninsula is a great place to visit. Next time you could catch the ferry from Sorrento across to Queenscliff and do the Bellarine Peninsula. For pizza/pasta try 400 Gradi for pasta that is mouth watering, and carbonara as good as i've had. They have been awarded world's best margherita verace pizza. Also awarded the 6th best pizza chain in the world /Brunswick best in Oceana.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Yesss, that would be awesome! Oh say no more, we will have to come back for the pizza. Thanks for the rec 😊

[@Destinavigator]

👋🏼 Small struggling Travel Channel here. I love your content, thanks for this great video! You inspire me to keep grinding my channel, maby one day I’ll grow as big as you 🥲

[@DaneAndStacey]

You will! Keep hustling 😊 you got this!

[@RoyalFroggyFriends]

Try SAL's Pizza for a new york style pizza, LOTS of flavour and cheese!

[@RenegadeRanga]

The mornington peninsula around Portsea, Rosebud, Sorrento was a place for regular people to go to the beach in summer when i was growing up in the 90's. About 20 years ago is when it started to transform. All the wealthy people from Melbourne started buying land and turning it into a millionaires coastal beach playground with multi million dollar homes. Possibly for easy access and it being cooler and less humid than queensland. Next trip the the last places to explore would be the gold rush and murray river areas. Ballarat is closest to Melbourne. It has sovereign hill. Beechworth has similar history and the mental asylum. And Phillip Island for PENGUIN PARADE. It also has a few other interesting little things to do. November would be the best time. I am still waiting for my old mates to email me one day for ideas 😀

[@DaneAndStacey]

PENGUIN PARADE!! What!! * books flights for November *

[@RenegadeRanga]

@DanegerAndStacey I did a weekend on Phillip Island in early October. The days are nice, but the penguin parade will get cool by the ocean at night. November will have warm days and nights, but it will not be peak heat. A good time to see 3000 penguins come out of the ocean. There's also the beach, a hobby farm and great venues. Cape woolamai is worth a look.

[@DaveWrealLocal]

Lock your car and try not to get robbed. Mornington next to Frankston

[@DaneAndStacey]

Why's that, is it common?

[@openbabel]

Mornington is great if there are no traffic jams,no people and no thunderstorms...used to be is not a great thing to report.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Well we didn't experience any of those, so we loved it!

[@Being_Smarter]

I’ve lived here and it’s an absolute dump, it’s only good for a summer holiday, my favourite thing to do is leave

[@DaneAndStacey]

🤣 This made us laugh! It's funny how your hometown can make you feel like that.

[@Being_Smarter]

Haha glad hear it, hope no one took my opinion too seriously 😅
