Mansfield Holiday Lettings & Accommodation

It's only a 2.5-hour drive from Melbourne to the nature lover's paradise of Mansfield, in the old High Country nestled between the Victorian Alps. Cozy up by the fireplace at your Mansfield holiday accommodation before heading out to the Mansfield Zoo with the kids, or for a day of delightful wine tasting at Delatite Wines.

Getting to Your Mansfield Accommodation

If travelling by car from Sydney, take the National Highway M31 towards Benalla. After approximately 675km, take the B300 exit and follow Midland Highway leading to Mansfield.

Mansfield is located approximately 180km north of Melbourne. Most Melbourne residents prefer either the Maroondah route through Alexandra and Healesville or Melba Highway which passes through Yea and Yarra Glen. Both journeys take you through scenic landscape offering attractions en route like the Cathedral Ranges before you arrive at your Mansfield accommodation.

Alternatively, access train services at Melbourne’s Southern Cross Station run by V/Line. Upon arrival in Mansfield, you can catch an MMBL bus from the same depot, which will take you to the rural community. Several coach services also ply into this region.

As some of the holiday lettings are within reach of Victoria’s best-loved ski destinations like Mt Buller and Mt Stirling, you’ll find convenient bus and coach services to get you around the area.

Enjoy High Country flavours at Mansfield's Delatite Wines

Head to Delatite Wines in the foothills of Mount Buller for a day of sampling its cool-climate wines, which it has been producing since 1968. Take in the breathtaking views of the Victorian Alps as you visit the winery's cellar door and get a taste of the High Country's best.

Delatite's restaurant's summery menu features platters of cheeses sourced locally from Milawa Cheese Company, served with crackers and warm Turkish bread. The platter of beetroot, hummus, and spicy lentil dip and spinach-and-cheese pizza are ideal for vegetarians. Enjoy your meal amid the mountainscapes with a chilled pinot grigio or chardonnay.

Family holidays in Mansfield

A day at the 30-acre Mansfield Zoo in northeast Victoria is sure to delight children of all ages. They'll love learning about its assortment of exotic and local animals and seeing them up close.

Visit the white lions, Djuma and Matimba, as they're fed during the day by zoo volunteers. The big cats' shimmering white coats are a rare sight to behold. Equally astonishing are the albino red kangaroos and capuchin monkeys – and who doesn't love a llama? Guests can hand-feed the monkeys in their habitat or the fallow deer, which wander the park freely. Grab a feeding bucket near the entrance and get up close to your favourite animal, or plan a family picnic by the shaded barbeque pits and take in the scenery.

Enjoy the great outdoors in Mansfield

Explore the countryside of northeast Victoria on a four-wheel drive adventure to Craig's Hut, a landmark left over from the set of the film, The Man from Snowy River. The local tour operators at 4WD Adventures pack guests a picnic lunch before embarking on an excursion through the mountains after a complimentary morning tea.

Transportation from your Mansfield holiday accommodation to the beginning of the adventure trail is available, and the tour guides share a wealth of information to keep guests of all ages entertained along the scenic route up the mountain. Snap a picture with the family in front of the famous milestone before ascending to the summit of Mount Sterling for a stunning view of the High Country. The tour is made complete with a wine tasting and scrumptious snacks.
