Things to do during a weekend getaway

Weekend Getaway Victoria

Located within easy reach of the Yarra Valley, Yea is the ideal weekend getaway in Victoria, serving as a launching point for touring some of the prettiest landscape you will find within 1 ¼ hours of Melbourne. Drive through charming Flowerdale or the tall trees and ancient rainforests of Kinglake National Park and you will find the small heritage town of Yea.

Whilst staying at the Peppercorn Hotel, take an easy stroll through the Yea Wetlands which abound with native Flora & Fauna, or take a leisurely sojourn through the wineries of the nearby Yarra Valley. Visit the many local cellar doors found in Yea, Caveat & Alexandra for a more rustic wine tasting experience, where you will probably get to speak to the winemaker.

For a more energetic weekend getaway in Victoria, go bushwalking in the Kinglake National Park or visit the Murrindindi website for adventure activities like abseiling, horse riding and water sports on nearby Lake Eildon.

At night, come home to your country retreat at The Peppercorn Hotel and relax in front of the fire while you enjoy one of our local wines.
