Weekend Trip to Top of the Lake

Top of the Lake is great! This was our second time, but this time we stayed in a unit rather than camping. It was warm, cozy, and well equipped, with a full kitchen for us to cook in. Our favourite part? Just how dog friendly it is, they were happy for us to keep our fur babies inside with us, as well as leaving them in the secure courtyard if we needed to go shopping. And the secure off-lead yard was so much fun for them to run around in. 10/10 will definitely stay here again, whether camping or glamping in a unit.

3 nights at Ingenia Holidays Eden Beachfront

Great location, just outside of Eden, right on the beach. We stayed in one of the dog-friendly cabins by the creek, with two adults, two kids and the dog, and it was quite comfortable, and had everything we needed. Loved how the cabin had it's own fenced-in courtyard and private BBQ. Super friendly staff too. Would recommend!

Weekend Trip to Wonboyn Cabins & Caravan Park

The 2 bedroom cabin and amenities were very clean and well equipped. We went there in late November so it was very quiet. The location was close to Eden and peripheral towns. The lake was perfect for fishing. 4WD is recommended if you want to travel further along the river to the ocean from the lake.

A lovely environment and clean facilities. Had questionable neighbours but that’s the nature of caravan parks. It is a lovely location.

My pup and I had an amazing time at Wonboyn Cabins! We had a very comfortable stay in one of the Windsor cabins which was perfect size and was equipped with everything we needed. We even hired a boat from them and explored the estuary. Luke was very kind and understanding of our situation and helped us when we needed. I highly recommend this place!

Where to go

Croajingolong National Park

Granite cliffs, rocky headlands, and white-sand beaches stretch along the coast at Croajingolong National Park, just a short drive south of Mallacoota. Paddle around the inlets in a kayak or canoe, hike along rugged coastal trails, and look out for wildlife, including koalas, platypuses, whales, and more than 300 species of bird. The five national park campgrounds have unpowered sites with BBQs, picnic tables, and non-flush toilets.

Gabo Island

Marooned off the coast of Mallacoota and Cape Howe, Gabo Island is known for its rocky shores, diverse wildlife, and historic lighthouse. Cruise out to the island by boat or take a short seaplane flight and spot Little Penguins, dolphins, and whales around the jetty. Glampers can even stay overnight in the old lighthouse keepers’ cottage.

Coopracambra National Park

If you’re looking to escape the crowds, Coopracambra National Park is the place. This is one of Victoria’s most remote and rugged conservation areas, where you can hike along wilderness trails or explore off-road in a 4WD. Bush camping is permitted within the park, but there are no facilities, so you’ll need to bring everything you need with you.

When to go

Blessed with cool summer breezes and the warmest winter temperatures in all of Victoria, Mallacoota is a year-round destination for outdoor adventurers. Summer is the best time to hit the beach, and the small town fills up with vacationers over the Christmas and Easter holidays. To avoid the crowds, come in late spring or early autumn instead, when it’s still warm enough to swim.
