Parking will be tight right at the club, but there are lot's of nearby streets to park on for free with no time restrictions.

Arriving by Air.

The closest airport is MEL in Tullamarine. There is a Skybus service that runs very frequently to Southern Cross Station (Melbourne City) and less frequently to the Peninsula, here is the timetable https://www.skybus.com.au/timetables/ 

The public transport system is safe and generally pretty reliable. Trains run from Southern Cross to Frankston and you can catch a bus from there to the club.
