Bonnie Doon, Mansfield and the surrounding High Country provide a host of experiences, outdoor adventures and amazing indulgences throughout the seasons. The High Country area is home to Victoria's traditional mountain cattlemen, and is a favourite destination for horse riding, bush walking and cycling action from mountain bike challenges to meandering rail trails. Try your hand at one of the many adventure sports such as snow and water sport, rock climbing or white water rafting. Perhaps you fancy something more sedate, taste regional wines at family-run cellar doors, or visit a local brewery where you can pick up a good drop to take to the slopes or pack into the boat esky for a day on the lake. Local areas to explore include:- Bonnie Doon, Lake Eildon and Lake Nillahcootie, Mt Buller and Mt Sterling, Alexandra, Eildon, Strathbogie Ranges, Mansfield and the Delatite River Valley, Sheepyard Flat and the Howqua River Valley, Jamieson, Kevington and Woods Point.

Nestled on the edge of the Strathbogie Ranges near Lake Eildon, Omaroo is a handy 2 hours drive from Melbourne, 3 kilometres from the township of Bonnie Doon, a short 15-minute drive from Mansfield and within 45 minutes of Mt Buller. Depending on your place of departure and whether you are keen to do some exploring on the way up from Melbourne, there are four potential routes to take. Three roads lead to Yea - via the Hume Highway through Broadford and Strath Creek, from Whittlesea through Kinglake and Flowerdale, or from Lilydale through Yarra Glen – all roads then heads from Yea to Molesworth, through Yarck, Merton and onto Bonnie Doon. The fourth route, and arguably the most scenic, is via the Maroondah Highway from Healesville over the Black Spur to Alexandra then across to Yarck and onto Bonnie Boon. No matter which route you choose there’s plenty to discover and experience on your journey to the High Country. There is also a direct bus service from Southern Cross Coach Terminal/Spencer St to Bonnie Doon/Mansfield/Mt Buller. Services depart twice daily, and operate every day. The journey takes approximately 3 hours from Southern Cross Station to Bonnie Doon. From Bonnie Doon there is a local Crown Cabs taxi service to escort you to Omaroo. V-Line trains do run to Euroa, Seymour and Benalla several times per day however there are no linking public transport services from any station to Bonnie Doon or Mansfield so the only option is a 1-hour taxi from the either station to Omaroo. For the adventure lovers The Great Victorian Rail Trail runs within 300 meters of Omaroo. The trail starts in Tallarook (near Seymour) and runs through Yea, past Omaroo onto Bonnie Doon before finishing in Mansfield. Once you have arrived in the High Country your easiest way to explore the region is by car, bike or through one of the many local tourism operators. The Bonnie Doon area is a horse riding mecca, we have plenty of paddock space and room to park your horse float. So why not message us about bringing your horse. Thinking of visiting the area to go boating, we are just minutes from the Lake and have ample space to park your boat.

Oct 13, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great, spacious getaway My husband and I and three dogs stayed at this property in September. As we needed to study/work, we were looking for something with good internet connection, and with 3 dogs we were looking for a spacious property so the dogs could run around. This cottage provided us with everything we needed. Upon arrival we were welcomed with some lovely refreshments - fresh milk and eggs in the fridge and home baked cookies. Keren showed us around and was very friendly, but also gave us enough privacy during the rest of our stay. The house is spacious and immaculate (has recently been renovated). Kitchen was more than complete, with everything you can wish for. Beds comfortable. Outside area with heater and freedom to explore the entire property and a good walk up the hill with our dogs. We enjoyed several picnics with our dogs in the paddock. 20 min drive to Mansfield, right next to the rail trail. Absolutely recommended! ##### Helena N.
