Perfectly located for those making the scenic coastal drive between Sydney and Melbourne, this delightful little gem has the feeling of being completely tucked away in the wilderness, yet it is in fact only 50 kilometres from Metung and Lakes Entrance. Nestled in a quiet river valley, each of the three spacious rooms boasts a king-size bed, a large ensuite bathroom and a private balcony overlooking the flats (perfect for kangaroo spotting). Lovely bushwalks lead straight from the property and the pristine river is the perfect spot to relax with a good book or take a refreshing dip. It is well worth spending a day exploring the Gippsland Lakes, Australia’s largest inland waterway, which is sheltered from the ocean by the beautiful Ninety Mile Beach – your delightful hosts Kaye and Bob will happily recommend the best places to visit in the area. Delicious breakfasts are included, and lunch and dinner can be arranged too – served either in the candle-lit dining room, on your private balcony, on the terrace or perhaps simply a picnic by the river. The drive from Melbourne to Waterholes takes about 4 hours via Walhalla (a fascinating historic former gold mining town which holds a special place in the hearts of many Australians) – or longer if you choose to follow the coast via Wilson’s Promontory and/or Phillip Island.
