Shh…it’s a secret. Beautiful places to stay when you explore and Go Beyond Melbourne The very best holidays are made of three ingredients: the places you stay in, the people you meet and all the experiences that take your breath away every day. Big cities are great for 5-star hotel experiences, but to find that unique accommodation which suddenly becomes an amazing experience in itself, you really need to leave the cities behind. And when you Go Beyond Melbourne, there are some extraordinary places to stay within an hour or so of the city. Places where you can go ‘glamping’ in the country, immersed in native forests with a choir of glorious birdsong, and fine wineries just an easy walk away. Then there is the beautifully restored historic guesthouse, now a B&B, on an island just metres from the beach. Or another where you stay in a villa, collect your own eggs for breakfast then perhaps wander some of property’s wildlife trails. And the country retreat that’s right on the famous Yarra River, complete with a private nature reserve, hundreds of native animals and platypus playing in the river. Or 5-star country style, where grand estates are reminiscent of the best of the English countryside. So what are you waiting for? 1. Yering Gorge Cottages, Yarra Valley & Dandenong Ranges 2.
