Melba Lodge

Tucked into Yarra Glen in the Yarra Valley—think rolling vines and cellar doors. Close to local wineries like Sticks Winery and Train Trak Wines, and within reach of Yarra Valley Chocolaterie, Yarrawood Winery and Melbourne attractions such as Melbourne Museum, the MCG and Melbourne Zoo.

A small, boutique bed & breakfast with under 10 ensuited rooms, cozy common spaces and a playful local vibe. Expect air-conditioned rooms with thoughtful toiletries, hair dryers and ceiling fans, plus three guest lounges, a billiard room and a dedicated six-person spa room.

Stand-out perks include the bar and billiard room, the six-person spa room, garden views and barbecue grills. Complimentary wireless internet and free self-parking keep things easy, and the team can arrange winery tours, hot-air ballooning and golf at The Heritage—wake up to valley mornings and pour a glass.

A compact business centre, complimentary wireless internet and free onsite parking make short stays seamless; the property is also accessible via an elevator/lift.

An on-site restaurant and bar serve meals and drinks, with a complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast each morning. With so many nearby cellar doors, it’s easy to pair your meal with local Yarra Valley wines.
