Mount Beauty Accommodation, Hotels, Tours & Information

Mount Beauty

Three hundred and fifty kilometres north-east of Melbourne, Tawonga is a launching pad to adventure. Not only does the village stand at the gateway to the Falls Creek and Mt Hotham ski resorts, but hang-glider pilots are drawn from all round the globe to ride some of the most consistent and powerful thermal airstreams in the world. Close, too, as the town is to Mt Beauty, Bright and the beautiful Kiewa Valley, Tawonga is a popular destination for bush-walkers, rock-climbers, endurance and recreational horse-riders, abseilers, rafters and, of course, anglers. The valley is liberally networked with well-used and well-loved bush tracks that cater for everyone from the occasional to the most serious hikers. Drop a line into the pristine Kiewa River and there is every chance you'll be supping on fresh trout cooked over a camp fire. Should the fish not be biting, Tawonga has a choice of restaurants to satisfy the inner-man.
