COVID-19 Update 9 November 2020

Regional Victoria is once again open for metropolitan residents!  Yay!

The Grampians is delightful this time of year.  The sun is out, but the waterfalls are mostly running due to the good spring rains.

We are heavily booked through November but still have limited availability in December for that perfect getaway to Western Victoria.  Please check our availability calendar and send us an enquiry.

Note there are still restrictions on sharing accommodation between households.  Please check the DHHS website for details.
