Romantic accommodation, honeymoons & holidays Victoria's High Country
Victoria's mountainous northeast is legendary and was once the haunt of the Man from Snowy River. A weekend away, honeymoon or romantic getaway to Legends Wine & High Country in winter will be especially romantic if you love fireplaces and snow - some of Victoria's most renowned ski resorts such as Mt Hotham, Mt Buller and Falls Creek call the High Country home. Ski during the day, and cuddle up to keep warm at night.
In summer, bushwalkers and mountain bikers take to the scenic trails, where they are confronted with breathtaking scenery and a sea of alpine wildflowers. For action-packed adventure, take to the water in a canoe, to the sky on a hang-glider or to the hills on horseback. Or explore the goldrush history and the legends of the early Aborigines and the tales of the bushrangers like Mad Dog Morgan and Ned Kelly.
Vineyards, in Rutherglen, Taminick, the Warby Ranges and the Ovens and King Valleys, thrive in the region. Brown Brothers, Gheric Estate and All Saints are just a few highly regarded wineries that you are able to visit. Savour fresh local produce in a wide range of restaurants and cafes, and be sure to sample the delicious cheeses.
Enjoy the luxurious and romantic accommodation options like mountain chalets and luxurious, romantic country retreats just perfect for two.
