SO … what’s ’the vibe’ around town on accommodation?
In Marysville the big news when it comes to putting your suitcases down and your feet up, has to be the new Vibe Hotel Marysville.
The luxury Vibe opened in February, adding another fabulous option to the more than 1000 accommodation beds in the area.
It’s debatable which comes first when it comes to planning a getaway or longer holiday. Is it the destination, or is it the perfect accommodation?
Whether it’s the ‘Mystic Mountains’ around Marysville, the magnificent forests and quaint villages of the Dandenong Ranges, or the verdant rolling hills, tall timber mountains and historic towns of the Yarra Valley, there is a perfect pillow-stop for every visitor.
You could find yourself in a cottage in the forest, a loft in a mill, or a cabin in a rainforest.
You could book into a chalet, villa or resort.
You could pitch a tent on a patch of grass by a river, wake up to a passing alpaca … or a mob of kangaroos, or share a bunk-house with 50 of your favourite family and friends!
Could you be waited on hand and foot in a luxury hotel? Or, spend a whole weekend without seeing another soul as you hide away with a good book, and an even better bottle of wine in a cosy cabin in the woods? Of course you could!
It’s all about the great escape, and making it happen.
Romantic, adventurous, relaxing or rejuvenating … it’s up to you!
