flying-in to waterholes...

Waterholes is four hours by road from Melbourne. Now you can cut this to just under two hours and turn this trip into a jet-setting modern travel experience!

“Now this is the way to travel for a weekend away or romantic break from Melbourne. Board a helicopter and fly out to a stunning guesthouse hidden in the East Gippsland bush, landing in a clearing right out the front.

“Waterholes Guest House has teamed up with Professional Helicopter Services for this package, and it doesn't stop there. After settling into one of only three light-filled studio suites, each with private bath and private balcony with garden and bush views, enjoy a superb dinner in the rammed earth and timber homestead. Next morning, board your chopper again, weather permitting, for a two-hour flight to Dinner Plain in the High Country, the Gippsland Lakes, Ninety Mile Beach, Croajingolong National Park or local wineries.

“Back on the ground, you have plenty of time to explore, with walks beside the peaceful Nicholson River, along hillside tracks hewn by 19th-century goldminers and through untouched bush to see koalas, kangaroos, king parrots, wallabies and wombats.

“This is a real break away, with nothing to break the peace - no telephones, television or radio. You can also land in a light plane at a nearby airstrip and be driven to your wilderness haven.” — Vacations and Travel, Winter 2005.

The cost per person of this great package is only $2,510 (based on four people staying two nights and having all meals at Waterholes). Contact us for full details!

“A fantastic fantasy weekend with great food. Accommodation, gardens, setting, cuisine, hospitality, privacy, pampering, all exceeded our expectations! A perfect birthday treat!” — Del and Chas Whitling.
