Marysville HoneymoonSurrounded by beautiful sub-alpine mountain country, Marysville is the perfect romantic honeymoon getaway. Nestled in the valley beside Melbourne’s closest ski fields, Marysville is surrounded by waterfalls and forests of mountain ash. As a village of four seasons, Marysville is identified by signature russet colours in autumn, glistening snow in winter, vibrant wildflower blooms in spring and cool forest scents in summer. The surrounding countryside is a haven for bushwalkers, horse riders and scenic attractions and is home to many old-fashioned timber guesthouses, many of which are finely furnished to reflect the decor and charm of their original elegance. Things to do and seeStroll down the main street beneath century-old oak trees and past gardens alive with blossoms of dogwood, azaleas and rhododendrons. Browse the art and crafts shops for locally made products or sample traditional sweets at the old-style Lolly Shop. Drive along Lady Talbot Drive through a eucalyptus forest and, after a picnic lunch, take a forest trail to see waterfalls and panoramic views. Indulge in a candle-lit gourmet dinner in front of an open fire for that perfect romantic moment. For another romantic highlight try a moonlight walk to see the magnificent Stevenson Falls – at 82m, these falls are one of the highest in Victoria; dramatic by day, the cascade is spectacular by night when the falls are floodlit. AccommodationMix luxury with romance and pamper yourselves with accommodation that includes luxuriously appointed spa suites with fabulous views of the mountains in Victoria’s Great Dividing Range.
