Meals

I have arranged a lunch for Saturday 11th at Chrismont Wines. They have great food and wine and magnificent views down the valley.

Lunch will be at 1:00 pm to allow time for people that want to come up Saturday morning.

Saturday night we will have a casual get-together around the campfire at the Whitfield Caravan Park.

We find after lunch you do not need much to eat for tea so l though nibbles and maybe a Barbecue sausage or Pizza with some local wine.

Sunday we will have lunch at Gracebrook Winery, a great casual setting with superb food and wine. l have booked lunch for 12 noon for people that are driving home Sunday.

Accommodation

For accommodation, there are various options as there is not one place that can accommodate all of us .

I have checked out all the following options you will need to contact the managers and make your own booking.

Some units accommodate 2 or 3 couples, so get together with your friends to make a booking.

There is a café in town for Breakfast.

The Mountain View Hotel (03) 5729-8270 has 4 Motel units. One has 2 bedrooms. For 2 nights it is $280.00 per couple and you can book for only one night. 4/5 star rating

Jessie's Creek Cottage 0421 494 122 is 3 bedroom 2 bathroom for 2 couples. $320 per night inc breakfast.

No, 1 Bakery Lane Cottage  (03) 5729-8321 is 3 bedroom 2 bathroom is $165 per couple, no breakfast.

Lusso KV 0400 994 943 is New Boutique Accommodation. Minimum 2 night stay, 3 Bedroom 2 bathroom with separate sleeping. It can accommodate 8 people. The charge is $300 plus $75 per person so for 3 couples $600 per night .

Valley View Caravan Park (03) 5729-8350. They have powered and unpowered sites and on site caravans. The vans are old but very clean. None have ensuites but the amenities are very clean and close to all the vans. l  expect the weekend we are there there may only be 3 or 4 others staying. The on-site vans are $90 per night and while some sleep 5 they are more suitable for 1 couple. One is only $60.00 as it does not have an annexe.

Bookings

Whilst l have spoken with all of the above, l have not reserved any except my own site at the Caravan Park. Do your bookings soon as it is a popular area. There are other places but not many. This covers ones l have checked out. Some of us will be staying from Friday until at least Monday .

If you are coming up Saturday morning you have to come via Glenrowan as the Whitfield-Mansfield Road is closed for the day for Targa Car racing. I expect we will be able to see most of the cars late Saturday morning.

I will need to know who is coming by mid-October. I have booked the Restaurants. I just need to confirm numbers. Send me an email when you have booked your accommodation. 

If you haven't been before you will be pleasantly surprised at the Quality of the Food and Wine and the scenery.
