Victoria
Culture, entertainment, unpredictable weather and beautiful scenery are all synonymous with Victoria Australia. For years Melbourne has been considered the most sophisticated city in Australia, and that sentiment still rings true today. Melbourne and Victoria offer loads of attractions, coupled with friendly hospitality and amazing food. Some of Australia's most amazing scenic drives can be found along the coast.
Victoria Accommodation
Victoria accommodation starts at budget prices and finishes up with luxuriously-appointed apartments and hotels. For a Melbourne accommodation with breathtaking views, go for Southbank, for 'classic Melbourne' go to the city centre, 'bayside eclectic' go to St Kilda and 'free and easy nautical' go Dockside. Victoria enjoys a thriving wine industry and many districts such as the Yarra Valley, Mt Macedon wine district, Geelong and the Mornington Peninsula are within an easy day-trip from Melbourne. We recommend you take a few days to stay at one of the local boutique lodges or B&Bs.
