Those on the Melbourne Cup weekend away last year will know just how good a location the Walwa Resort is. Saturday night is completely booked out for a wedding, so I have booked 3 new units at the Jingellic Pub for Saturday night and two double-storey modern cottages sleeping between 4 and 6 people (6, if couples) comfortably for Sunday and Monday nights, at the Resort. The Resort cottages are fully equipped – all you need to bring is yourself. The cost is $115 per cottage per night (2 nights) per couple, then $10 a head. It works out at around $40 per head per night. The cottages are very widely spaced, offer spectacular views across the Murray River flood plains and far off mountains. The resort is part of a Dutch owned winery. Kangaroos and bird life abound. There are two swimming pools, canoe hire, bush walks, games room, and on-site restaurant This venue is suitable for your other half – lazy days by the pool or river, bushwalking, sight seeing, etc.
The plan is to ride up on Saturday leaving Yarck at 9.30 am. Alternatively, trailering your bike up is another option. Ride around the hills Sunday, Monday - some of the best riding country in Australia, if not the world - then head home Tuesday. Otherwise, spend a day enjoying the facilities at the Resort. Lots of good options. Deposit of $50 payable to Ben as soon as possible to confirm a bed.
