The largest wetlands restoration project in the Southern Hemisphere, the Winton Wetlands brings people, groups and communities together to renew themselves, the landscape and passion for the great outdoors. Located in north east Victoria, the site features 3,800 Ha of wetlands surrounded by over 4,950Ha of redgum and box grassy woodland and is home to a huge variety of flora and fauna, including over 180 species of birds.
It’s a bold town that claims the title “Gourmet Region,” but Milawa more than lives up to its promise (and has done for 30 years!). Stunning wineries, amazing restaurants, fresh farm gate produce, boutique shopping or a meander along the Rail Trail. The Milawa Gourmet Region is a short 10 minute drive or easy cycle from Wangaratta.
A half hour drive from Wangaratta, Rutherglen is an old gold-rush town with 160 years of winemaking history. Offering heritage buildings, highly regarded restaurants, cafes and pie shops, innovative wines and an abundance of experiences, the Rutherglen region offers our guests a perfect day out.
A picturesque 38 kilometres from Wangaratta, Beechworth is one of Victoria's most beautifully preserved heritage towns with a gold mining history and affiliation with the Ned Kelly story. Art galleries, heritage museums, wineries, restaurants, providors, bakeries, short walks in nature and cycle trails abound.
Needing no introduction as the site of Ned Kelly’s last stand (visit the recently opened interpretive centre to learn more!), Glenrowan deserves equal fame for its full-bodied reds and fortified wines. The sweeping views from the Warby Ranges State Park over Lake Mokoan also offer a rich reward for bushwalkers and birdwatchers looking to adventure outdoors.
The King Valley has a long history of Chinese and Italian migration, but more recently, it’s the vines from Italy that have earned it the moniker “a little slice of Italy”. The Prosecco, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo and Barbera styles, have earned the Valley its reputation for uniquely-flavoured, memorable wines. Also pop Lake William Hovell, Paradise Falls and Harry Power Lookout on your itinerary!
From the very beginning, (some 30 years ago!) we set out to create something truly special. Not just another motel in a pretty regional town, but a place that offered our guests something more.
A space that feels a little like a luxe inner-city hotel, yet with the warmth and familiarity of home.
A place where the staff remember your name, the service comes with a genuine smile and a note left on your clean car windscreen wishes you a lovely day.
Located in the heart of Wangaratta’s central business district, our hotel is perfectly positioned to give you easy access to everything on offer—boutique shopping, scenic walking tracks, golf courses, leafy parks, local galleries, and a thriving café and restaurant scene. And if you’re up for a leisurely ride, we have e-bikes available for hire and to explore at your own pace.
The Milawa Gourmet Region, King Valley, Glenrowan, Rutherglen and Beechworth are a short drive and Victoria’s world-class ski fields about 1.5-hours by car – depending on the time of year. An easy 2.5-hour drive from Melbourne, 45 minutes from Albury via the Hume Freeway, and an hour from Bright, the Gateway offers the ideal base for those traveling in Victoria and southern New South Wales.
