Hotel Recommendations around Melbourne?
Going to Australia for a big big tick on the old bucket list for my 40th at the end of November.Travelling with partner and our 6 year old son. I'm stuck on the Melbourne leg and looking at where to stay?
Day 1: Flying day - land at 430pm(from CNS) - Melbourne Day 2: Drive Great Ocean Rd to the 12 Apostles. Heli Flight from 12 Apostles, drive back to stay somewhere around Apollo Bay or another location? Day 3: drive back to Melbourne, St Kilda? Where to stay? Day 4: drive to Wilson's Promontory and stop at Puffing Billy on the way, possibly see friends in Sale. Where to stay? Day 5: Yarra Valley(do they allow kids at some wineries?) Somewhere else? Where to stay? Day 6: Fly home
Does this itinerary seem feasible and make sense?
Can anyone recommend some special places to stay? Not $2000/night special but could be up to $500 if it's worth it(amazing views!) or somewhere quirky, once in a lifetime type places? We'll have a car(unless you strongly advise against it) so somewhere that allows parking.
What areas to stay when in Melbourne? And everywhere really. We have the itinerary of what we wanna see but not the locations of where to sleep.
