Alpine Retreat Hotel, WARBURTON, VIC

The Alpine Retreat Hotel, in Victoria's Upper Yarra Valley, has one of the most beautiful locations in Australia. Surrounded by mountains and virtually on the banks of the picturesque Yarra river, it is at first hard to believe that 'the Alpine' is little more than one hour from Melbourne.

Situated in the township of Warburton, a vibrant mountain village lined with cafes and boutique shops, the Alpine Retreat Hotel provides visitors with the perfect base to explore the region - world class wineries, river walking tracks, bush walks, sensational bike trails, spectacular golfing, scenic country drives and inspiring views. Just don't forget the camera.

Whether you are simply popping up for a day trip from Melbourne or plan a longer stay, the historic Alpine Retreat Hotel has much to offer.
