7 Hidden gems at Yarra Valley
There’s never a dearth of places in Victoria to appreciate and explore and Yarra valley is one of them. From stunning snow-capped mountains to breathtaking valleys offering panoramic lookouts and views.
From aboriginal architecture to beautiful cherry blossoms, this region offers you all.
If you ask me about my favourite road trip destinations in Victoria, then I have to tell you how many times I have visited the Yarra Valley.
Running out of road trip ideas? Then this blog would give you a glimpse of those hidden places in and around Yarra Valley.
#Alfred Nicolas Memorial Garden
Autumn colours are best seen at the Alfred Nicolas Memorial Garden, and this pretty little boathouse is my insta- favourite.
Perfect getway place for a weekend picnic or a mini trail walk in nature.
My favourite place is relaxing by the boathouse amidst nature, needless to say, their trail walks are equally amazing. Park your car and take any walk depending upon your energy levels.
#Alowyns Gardens
You don’t need to visit Japan to encounter the beautiful Cherry blossoms, you can enjoy these spring blossoms right here in Victoria.
A Yarra valley nursery, which sells plants, ideal to visit during springs to enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms.
It’s a ticketed place but worth the weekend visit during spring.
#Where to eat?
There isn’t any dearth of cafes in this region, however, one of my favourite cafes is the Canadian Pancakes.
Perched outside the William Rickett Sanctuary, this place is warm and cosy during peak winters. Needless to say, even being a non-foodie I relished their pancakes.
The other cafe that needs a mention is the Kalorama Park Cafe, situated right over the lookout point, cosy and scenic place to hang around during warmer days.
#Kolorama Lookout point
Situated along the Mount Dandenong tourist road, this is the perfect place to view the Dandenong ranges and its surroundings.
#Sherbrook Forest Park & Olinda Falls
The Dandenong tourist road leads you to numerable trial walks, an being an adventure seeker you’re bound to love the variety it offers.
One of the trails leads you to the Olinda falls, there’s a small walking trail down the falls and an observatory platform to view the falls. Ideal to visit during the wet season to enjoy the falls.
Get up and close with the Australian native birds, don’t forget to buy a bowl of grain for a close encounter with them.
# Emerald Lake & Park
Other than being kids-friendly the puffing billy and the emerald lake is just the perfect location for a weekend day out.
Take the Puffing billy from Lillydayle station or drive straight to emerald, parking is not free at the lake so make sure you always check the parking signs before you drive in.
There’s a cafe up the lake and serves a fair amount of light lunches and breakfast.
Boating is a popular option at the lake, both kids and adults love it, especially during the warmer weather.
#Warbuton Valley
The stunning Warburton valley is a hidden gem in the Yarra Valley, the famous Yarra river offers stunning valley views, the La La falls and the adventurous walking trails.
Mont DeLancey Historical Homestead is the perfect place to relax in the valley. Not forget to check out Monty’s tea room, they offer amazingly fresh scones with the home-made strawberry jam.
No matter which season, it is victoria, you won’t be disappointed to catch the beautiful Lavender fields at the Warratina Lavander farm.
The tea room over there offers some amazing soups and freshly made scones too.
