Just 300m from the Yarra River and sitting among a canopy of tree ferns, Gingers on the Hill is the perfect large group getaway spot. You’re a riverside stroll to the Victorian township of Warburton and yet you’re wrapped up in rugged nature here.

Expect a four bedroom, two bathroom home that’s split into two wings, with a dining, lounge and kitchen space in the middle. Crank up the indoor fireplace and take your pick from the huge board game, puzzle and movie selection, or head out to your huge outdoor balcony and get the Weber barbecue sizzling. There’s hammock swing chairs for whiling away an hour or two and day beds for a quick post-meal snooze. 

The whole fam will dig the complimentary breakfast hamper filled with local goodies. You get a welcome gift too, plus there’s yoga mats and ten toboggans (yep, really) for you to use, in case it snows.

If you’re part of a crew who loves fine food, open fires and heart-pumping walks with epic views, look no further than this four-bedroom Victorian retreat. It’s a seriously charming spot, with the added convenience of speedy wifi so you can bring the laptop and clear the inbox.

The legends who own this place supply you with your first breakfast free of charge—expect Gippsland Jersey milk and butter, local sourdough bread, homemade jam, honey from the on-site hives, eggs, veggies, and herbs when available. They supply a picnic rug and basket too, so you can enjoy it on the go if your group prefers.

When you’re not out adventuring, curl up by the indoor fireplace, play one of the board games provided, or pop out to the fire pit and get toasting your complimentary marshmallows. There’s hot chocolate in the cupboard too. Woo!

You’re close to wineries, micro-breweries and restaurants here so there’s heaps to do. But come late arvo, we expect you’ll be back at base taking a dip in the 25-metre lap pool, or firing up the barbecue, with a glass of the good stuff at the ready.

Ditch the main wineries and play host at your own pace with stunning outdoor space perfect for a long lunch. Smaller groups are able to reserve one or two of the buildings (choose between the lodge, cottage or laundry) if needed, or kick back in one of the best Airbnbs for large groups. 

How often can you and 11 of your closest pals secure your own private lake? Well, this Phillip Island stay will give you just that.

The Wensley is a ten-guest stay that helps you appreciate the simplicity of minimal design. This house has been so carefully curated that each square of it feels like an exhibition, but it still maintains a comfy and homely feel.

Laden with recycled wood and concrete, Wensley’s biggest drawcard is the secluded and elegant space. Pile around the fireplace and look out across the fields or sit down together at the open dining table and kitchen space. The bedrooms feel fairy tale-esque tucked underneath wooden beams with views of the property and light beaming through.

The beautiful three-storey Otways Loft is a mix of tree-house, vintage train, and raw and recycled materials, in the middle of a forest-like garden. Dark wood panels and low sloping roofs make up this unique property, with the interior combining local timber and train remnants.

Be it a milestone birthday, family celebration, or just an elevated weekend getaway in Victoria, what better way to do that than a Versailles-style mansion planted squarely on the Bellarine Peninsula. The Campbell Point House is situated just a stone's throw from Lake Connewarre and the sprawling abode is a true spectacle in itself—set on a cascading grass property that leads right down to the water.

Loaded with plenty of rooms and open spaces with vistas of the gentle lake, great dining halls, freestanding bathtubs, pools, ponds and more, the accommodation is split into different areas, so you can book a room in the Mansion, or the Cottage, Lake or Stables suites.
