About Somerville
Somerville is a semi-rural township on the Mornington Peninsula, 50 kilometres southeast of Melbourne's CBD. The suburb straddles the urban-rural divide, with residential estates alongside orchards and farms. Proximity to Hastings and access to Peninsula Link makes commuting manageable.
Life here offers Peninsula lifestyle at accessible prices—space for families, access to beaches, and a genuine country town atmosphere. The community maintains rural characteristics while enjoying suburban conveniences. Somerville attracts families seeking Peninsula living, often with horses or hobby farms, at more affordable prices than coastal areas.
Somerville falls under postcode 3912 and is governed by Mornington Peninsula Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Hastings (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
