Tips from our drivers for Flinders Hotel
- Flinders is quieter and further out than most peninsula towns, so book your return trip in advance.
- Combine a meal with a visit to the Flinders pier or a cellar door in Main Ridge.
- If guests are coming from Mornington or Frankston, consider sharing the Maxi WAT.
The Flinders Hotel is the local pub in Flinders, a small seaside village on Western Port near the south-eastern corner of the peninsula. It is a hub for locals and a regular stop for visitors exploring the coastline, the pier and the nearby wine country around Main Ridge and Red Hill.
Because Flinders is relatively remote, people often book a taxi rather than taking on the drive home after a meal and a few drinks. We bring groups from Red Hill, Shoreham, Balnarring and Rosebud, and run guests on to cellar doors or back to their accommodation. Booking ahead matters here, as cars are not waiting on every corner. Walkers finishing a section of the coastal track around Flinders sometimes call in for a meal before heading home, and we can collect them from the pub at the end of the day.
Our fleet includes sedans and two wheelchair accessible vehicles: a van with a rear ramp and a Maxi WAT with a hydraulic hoist that suits heavier power chairs. Both have four-point restraints. Drivers help door to door, and Locals with an MPTP card can use it on trips to and from the pub.

Questions about taxis to Flinders Hotel
Is it hard to get a taxi in Flinders at night?
Flinders is a small village some distance from the bigger towns, so it is best to book your trip home ahead of time rather than calling on the spot. Set a pick-up time when you book your trip in, and we will have a car committed to it. We operate 24 hours a day.
Can you take us from the Flinders Hotel to wineries in Main Ridge?
Yes. Main Ridge and Red Hill cellar doors are a short drive inland. Let us know which wineries you plan to visit and the order, and we can book each leg so you move between them smoothly and get back to Flinders or home at the end of the day.
Where will you drop me off at Flinders Hotel?
Pick-ups are outside the hotel on the main village street. Tell us if you would prefer a side entrance and we will meet you there.
Can you wait or pick me up after my appointment at Flinders Hotel?
Yes. Book a return trip with an approximate time, then call or text us when you are ready. Appointments often run late, so we keep return pick-ups flexible.
Is there step-free access at Flinders Hotel?
We drop you at the front of the hotel in the centre of Flinders village.
Can I travel in my power wheelchair or scooter?
Yes. Most manual and power wheelchairs fit, and you stay seated in your chair. Tell us the make, width and weight when you book so we send the right vehicle. Mobility scooters can travel when they can be safely restrained — please check with us first.
Can a carer or family member come too?
Yes. Carers, family and assistance animals are welcome. Include everyone in the passenger count so we send a vehicle with enough seats.
How do I pay?
Pay the driver by card or cash, use your Multi Purpose Taxi Program (MPTP) card, or choose "Account / invoice" for NDIS plan managers, aged-care providers and businesses.
