Anniversary Weekend in Vic
5yr wedding anniversary coming up in a few weeks - looking for somewhere nice to stay for a night or two somewhere not toooo far from Mellie?
Probably needs to be a cabin/villa or similar as we will have to take the 5mth old munchkin with us and wouldn't subject a hotel to her hissy fits (oh the joys of not having helpful family in the same country - hmmm anyone fancy a babysitting gig for the weekend?? (totally disregard what i said aboove about hissy fits, she is well-behaved really honestly guv)
Any suggestions folks?

Re: Anniversary Weekend in Vic
Hi
How far out do you want to go, how upmarket, where are you now? when do you want to go?
We loved Port Fairy, Apollo Bay's very popular, Philip Island (can never remember how many l's or p's). Obviously these are all beaches and that might not be what you're looking for?
I know a lovely place (blatant plug) that's near Doncaster Shoppingtown and Warrandyte but give us a bit more information and you'll find somewhere wonderful I'm sure.

Re: Anniversary Weekend in Vic
Thanks for the suggestions - in the end I just left it up to my other half to arrange and we are apparently going down to Inverloch on Thursday for two nights, will see how well he has done when we get there. Hopefully flowers will be involved...
(Im sure wherever you are plugging is lovely, Flip, but until a year ago we actually used to live right next to Doncaster shoppo so that wouldnt really have been much of a trip).

Inverloch's small but lovely and not too far - it's a shame you probably won't be there long enough to head over to Wilson's Prom while you're there.
Have a lovely anniversary.
Have a lovely anniversary.

Thanks. We 'did' Wilsons prom when we first got here - camping- beautiful place but got absolutely eaten alive by mozzies

Daylesford or Echuca ....Murray river.... Paddlesteamers and good food.
Inverloch is a good choice... I stay at a place right at the end of the road down there... Walkerville and close to the beach.
