Destination guide

Relax with a luxury coastal holiday in Victoria resorts

Victoria is the closest Australian state to Tasmania, so there's easy access whether you're looking to travel by air or by sea. Similar to New South Wales, finding luxury accommodation in Tasmania is easy from Victoria as the sheer size of the area contains plenty of options. Given the popularity of the region for travellers, most luxurious accommodation options are less on the affordable side of the spectrum. The coastal region closest to Tasmania is particularly nice as the Great Ocean Highway alone is home to numerous attractions and geological features such as the Twelve Apostles.

Things to do

Sightseeing near Victoria holiday rentals

Cosmopolitan Melbourne, the state capital, is the heart of Victoria's thriving cultural scene, where you'll find everything from aquariums, zoos and art museums to pro football and casinos. The city's home to the country's oldest public art museum, the National Gallery of Victoria, and you can also find art, culture, film and food festivals all throughout the year. Away from the city lights, you can get back to nature with Victoria vacation rentals near Grampians National Park, a 167,000-hectare preserve with sandstone peaks and a wide array of plant and animal life.

Activities

When it comes to Victoria's activities, the only problem you'll have is choosing what to do first. Outdoorsy types will fall (not literally, we hope) for the hiking trails, campsites and epic scenery of the area's lofty mountain ranges. For a more chilled-out outdoor experience, you can head to the sandy beaches of the aptly named Surf Coast. In urban Melbourne, you'll find plenty of arts and culture, as well as posh shopping, international dining and trendy nightlife. You can also catch everything from ballet and opera to stand-up comedy and live local bands.
