Just when you thought a stay at Jackalope couldn’t get any more enticing, the stunning luxury hotel in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula’s wine region has announced the return of its pop-up outdoor cinema that will screen blockbuster flicks, cult classics and romcoms all through March.
Created in collaboration with Lexus Australia, season two of Jackalope Cinema will open on Sunday, March 1, with a viewing of the Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie smash-hit, The Wolf of Wall Street. Other excellent movies on the month-long line-up include La La Land, Silver Linings Playbook, Black Swan, Lost in Translation and The French Dispatch.
This fully immersive experience a film buff’s dream, and will begin with the opportunity to enjoy a pre-movie bite at Doot Doot Doot (Jackalope’s renowned on-site restaurant) – think a menu loaded with delicious dishes showcasing the region’s local produce. Guests can then either head to their room to catch the flick from their vineyard-facing private terrace or get cosy on the infinity pool deck under the twinkling night sky. Bluetooth headphones will be provided to ensure top sound quality, and there will be plenty of snacks on offer, including unlimited popcorn (yes, really!), ice cream and other nostalgic treats.

“Having studied film before pivoting to designing spaces and experiences, the pillar of storytelling will be brought to life at Jackalope,” said founder Louis Li, who curated the film program. “One of my favourite moments of staying at Jackalope is holding a box of popcorn and watching a movie in the comfort of the rooms. Jackalope Cinema, presented by Lexus, is an elevated experience of this and I look forward to guests enjoying some of my favourite films.”
Sounds heavenly, right? Jackalope Cinema kicks off at approximately 8.15pm and will be available to all guests of the hotel through the month of March. To find out more and make a booking, head to the website.
