Yarra Valley & Dandenong Ranges Holidays

Lying a short drive from Melbourne, this lovely region is easily visited in a day, but if you have time is well-worth an overnight stay, or two. The Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges is a natural playground of exceptional vineyards, there are more than 80 cellar doors to explore, pretty villages and towering mountain ash forests to hike though. Hop on Australia's oldest steam railway - Puffing Billy, visit Healesville Sanctuary, a bushland haven for native wildlife, or discover the winding valleys on two wheels with a cycle tour.
