Jonathan and Dani Pritchard

Mount Martha residents Jonathan and Dani Pritchard love everything about ‘the Ninch’, as the Mornington Peninsula is affectionately known. Jonathan grew up here and, with school mates, co-founded Jetty Road Brewery in Dromana. He also works in real estate and is passionate about helping people find their forever home. Dani is a yoga teacher, and when she’s not teaching at her studio in Mount Martha she hosts retreats in Byron Bay or Bali. The couple consider the Peninsula a ‘slice of heaven’ and share four of their favourite destinations for relaxing and enjoying.

1. Set off on an early morning walk from Mount Martha Estuary along the boardwalk to the Briars and back. Listen to the creek and the birds, and build up an appetite for your morning breakfast at Via Battisti opposite the bay in Mount Martha.

2. Take an e-bike ride along the trails of Red Hill and pull up for a tasty bite to eat on Boundary Rd at Wombat in Dromana.

3. Sit back and enjoy an afternoon craft beer session and some live music at Jetty Road Brewery in Dromana, home of the best beer in the world!

4. Stroll along Nunns Walk and head to Mornington for some amazing food at the traditional Sakura Sushi Japanese eating house.
