On the northern banks of the Yarra River, the city of Melbourne is a conurbation of distinct districts that spreads around the shores of Port Phillip Bay, each with their own charm and flavour to afford a variety of fascinating experiences during your stay.
Just an hour drive south from the city, the Mornington Peninsula is peppered with tranquil seaside villages offering excellent eateries, pretty fishing harbours and spellbinding panoramas. There are just as many rich pickings inland with an abundance of vineyards and orchards hidden away behind the rolling hills.
Travelling west out of Melbourne, the meandering Great Ocean Road brings superb seascapes, surf beaches, rainforests and dramatic rock formations, interspersed with laidback coastal towns such as Apollo Bay and Port Fairy.
Heading inland, Victoria’s interior has just as much to offer as the coast, with Australia’s Spa Country around Daylesford and the fine restaurants and romantic retreats of the Yarra Valley awaiting your discovery.
