Spring and Summer time in the Yarra Valley is just the time to go exploring so let’s do it 3 Kings style! This 2 night package can be taken any day. Starting with your 2pm check in, sit back, relax and enjoy the luxury and fine fittings in this AAAT 5 star accommodation. Your hosts will be more than happy to make reservations for you at one of our local restaurants or hotels and offer a free valet service to and from, so you can both enjoy the evening without the need to drive.

The Tour
Your tour starts at 10am so there will be plenty of time to have enjoyed your scrumptious breakfast. Our first stop is the Sky walk
        
The Mount Donna Buang Skywalk at Cement Creek is 9km from Warburton at the junction of the Mount Donna Buang Road and the Acheron Way. This 17mtr high, 40mtr long aerial walkway which brings visitors into contact with giant 250-300 year old, 60m tall, mountain ash trees. Leading from the car park is the staircase which descends to the Rainforest Walkway and myrtle beech forest. Some of the beech trees here could be up to 400 years old. Part of the walkway runs alongside the cascading waters of Cement Creek.

The Aqueduct trail
Melbourne’s water was once supplied by an open aqueduct channel which was constructed  from 1911 to 1915 it was decommissioned approximately 12 years ago and has since been piped underground. What is left is one of victorias newest trails. Being a man made water course, this trail has a slight downhill grade which is great because we have packed the mountain bikes so it’s magnificent scenery and easy on the legs. You can choose two lengths one 7kms to the Dee road crossing or 12.3kms to the don road exit where your guide will be waiting to load the bikes.

Lunch
Lunch will be at the peach cafe situated at Rayners stone fruit orchard farm. Then indulge in an orchard walk with the farmer and taste fresh from the tree, the many different varieties of plums, nectarines, apricots and juicy peaches. We guarantee the taste is nothing like you will find in the supermarket or shops.

7 acre rock
You now have the choice of option 1. Venturing out to 7 acre rock. Situated deep within the logging area south of Powelltown this large rocky outcrop with an altitude of 600m offers some majestic views of the Yarra and Bunyip state forest. It’s approximately a 2km return trip on the walking trail. However you will be rewarded with chilled bottle of Champagne while you soak in the view.

However if the legs are a little weary then choose option 2.  Yarra Junctions magnificent lotus farm. This 14 acre display garden has hundreds of flowering lotus and waterlilies, edged by many exotic plants, the whole garden is landscaped with walking tracks and shade structures. There are 2 lakes and 3 smaller dams as well as 3 hothouse displays. There is also a retail shop on site.

Returning back to 3 Kings at the end of the day would see the sunken spa in front of the open fire as a very attractive option. Enjoy a night in and breakfast supplies await for the next morning with a late 11am check out.
