Wangaratta & Surrounding Regions
Simply called 'Wang' by the locals this regional city offers plenty of ways to play and have fun or relax and wind down.
Make sure you give yourself time to properly enjoy the bushland and parks, walking and cycling trails, wineries, golf courses and the many other things to do around the area.
Staying at the Gardenview Lodge Holiday Villas & Apartments allows you to enjoy ‘Wang’ like the locals. Head out to the scenic townships of Rutherglen, Beechworth and Bright knowing you can then retreat back to a quieter setting each day away from the busyness of the tourist hotspots. The beautiful King Valley and foodie mecca Milawa Gourmet Region are also just a short and picturesque drive away making them a perfect day trip from this peaceful base.
