Yering Gorge Cottages opened in 2007. Positioned within the Yering Gorge private nature reserve, and featuring views of the surrounding Christmas Hills and Dividing Ranges, guests experience a complete sense of privacy and serenity whilst enjoying the surrounding natural beauty and resident iconic Australian wildlife that roam freely. The property's perfect location on the doorstep to the Yarra Valley makes it ideally suited for those looking to experience the delights of Melbourne's 'food and wine playground' together with the diversity of a range of family orientated activities and attractions during their stay. With its acquisition of Yering Gorge Cottages in July, 2013, The Eastern Golf Club recognised that the exceptional nature-based tourism experiences were a key influence in guests' decision to stay and wanted to ensure the integrity of the destination experience was retained. Whilst creating a unique destination and tourism experience within the Yarra Valley, Yering Gorge Cottages remains as a stand-alone tourism experience.

Located in the heart of Melbourne’s food and wine playground and within an hour of Melbourne CBD is Yering Gorge Cottages. Overlooking The Eastern Golf Club and nestled into the hillside, alongside the Yarra River, Yering Gorge Cottages features 13 self-contained, beautifully appointed, one, two and four-bedroom cottages. All cottages include a separate living area with floor-to-ceiling windows providing a stunning outlook of the surrounding private nature reserve and wood heater, fully equipped kitchenette, large private deck with barbeque and separate bathroom with separate shower and bath. Our four-bedroom cottage features a full-sized kitchen and separate recreation room – ideal for families, bridal parties or weekend getaways for larger groups. A suite of outdoor experiences and recreational activities are available to complement your stay including golf, tennis and bushwalking - all undertaken within our 120-acre private nature reserve, home to Eastern Grey Kangaroos, Platypus, Echidna, Wombats and 80+ species of native bird life, providing guests with the rare opportunity to get up close to some of Australia’s iconic wildlife.

Located within Melbourne's 'Food and Wine' Playground, our guests are on the doorstep of some of Victoria's best wineries, restaurants and artisan food producers. Guests can explore over 85 winery cellar doors including Domaine Chandon, Yering Station, Coombes, Rochford Winery, Dominique Portet, Punt Road and DeBortoli; dine in many award winning restaurants and eateries; explore distelleries, micro beer and cider breweries; experience the magic of the Yarra Valley at dawn by hot air balloon with Global Ballooning Australia or experience the taste sensations of some of the best food producers including Yarra Valley Chocalaterie, Yarra Valley Dairy and Yarra Valley Tea Company.
