Two decades ago, a man named Peter Kennett was first drawn to the serene beauty of the Mornington Peninsula. Today, he is not just an appreciative admirer but an integral part of this vibrant community.

As a Licensed Estate Agent & Auctioneer with Peninsula Property Advice, Peter's passion for the area is as palpable as the sea breeze wafting from the nearby coastline.

Peter’s fascination with the Peninsula mirrors my own journey, which led me to purchase a property on the outskirts of the charming town of Flinders in 2015. Ever since, I've had the privilege of wholly immersing myself in the unique lifestyle the Peninsula offers.
