Healesville is a charming town in the Yarra Valley region, just over one hour from Melbourne. Home to 7,500 and central to Yarra Glen, Marysville and Warburton, Healesville is well and truly the heart of the Yarra Valley. Enticing interstate and overseas travellers and daytrippers from Melbourne every day of the year, it has everything a small town could need and more!
Popular attractions include Healesville Sanctuary, first-class providores like Cheesmonger Sophie, Kitchen & Butcher and Barrique Wine Store and great dining experiences at such places as Innocent Bystander and Matilda Bay Brewery. Both Four Pillars Gin and Munroe's Burgers & Beers are a must-visit too.
There are dozens of walking and hiking trails nearby, many of them unexplored by most, and Maroondah Dam (pictured) is quite spectacular. For accommodation (and golf) the RACV Healesville Country Club & Resort is nice, as are self-contained accommodation options like Toms in the Valley.
There's so much to see and do in Healesville!
