There are foodie heaven restaurants, art for the soul and stunning scenery that will take your breath away.

Heide Museum of Modern Art

A day at Heide is a great way to make this Mother’s Day special, as this treasure that only a twenty-minute drive from the city. The museum started as the home of artists John and Sunday Reed who created a community of artist like Sidney Nolan, Albert Tucker, Joy Hester, John Perceval and Danila Vassilieff. Now it is a museum honouring innovative Australian art with unique architecture, a sculpture garden and a maker’s market that attracts Melbourne’s best creatives.
