The town of Rosebud is wedged between the lower slopes of Arthurs Seat, the shores of Port Phillip Bay and the plains of Boneo. Rosebud is the second largest town on the Mornington Peninsula, and a very popular tourist resort with families who appreciate its sandy beaches and shallow waters. Rosebud began as a little fishing village in the 1850's and has been a popular holiday destination since the 1950's.

Rosebud is renown for caravanning and camping on the foreshore, however, it also offers a wide range of B & B's, self-contained cottages and luxury accommodation options.

Facilities include a modern cinema complex, an indoor pool complex, tennis, bowls, ten pin bowling, skating, and more.

Fabulous for the golfer. Not only does Rosebud boast 3 of it's own golf courses, including the fabulous Rosebud Country Club, it is also in very close proximity to the major resort style golf courses on the peninsula.
