   A beautiful spot away from the hustle and bustle of busy Melbourne. A place not far into the wilds and yet near enough to Melbourne. The fresh clean mountain air is invigorating my senses and lifts me up to face the next day. This place is particularly beautiful in the autumn when nature dons its earthy colours. It looks spectacular indeed.

   scenic,relaxing,lots to do or nothing to do, too much food and wine, just what you need for a great weekend! nothing is too much trouble for the people of Marysville, though the barman at the top pub was a bit strange!!! Would go back anytime.

   my wife and I enjoyed or stay at Marylands country house, it had just the right touch of old world charm. Though the weather was shocking, we were not in the least put off, as the facilities at Marylands still provided enough alternatives to fill in the day.

   We were married at Steavenson Falls in Marysville, it holds a special place in our hearts. The people of Marysville are so welcoming and the scenery is magic.

   Beautiful location especially in autumn and spring. Great base for family holiday all year round. Marysville Trout Farm is a great place to visit for all ages. Close to Lake Mountain too.

   Friendly people and a cute little sleepy town. So relaxing. The ideal location if visiting Lake Mountain in Winter for the snow.

    What a beautiful little village Marysville is and yet only a little over an hours drive from Melbourne and so close to Lake Mountain Alpine Resort and the snow.
    Great bushwalking trails and waterfalls also and some fine accommodation & restaurants/cafes to suit different tastes.

    Marysville has beautiful mountain tracks to walk along and still see wildlife and birdlife. The mountain streams are still pristine; the air is crisp and clean. The B&B’s we have stayed in have all been fabulous. We have stayed at Marysville three times in the past and it never ceases to make us happy we have chosen to visit there.

    Bruno’s Art & Sculpture garden in Marysville is just wonderful. You can spend hours looking around the garden, there is something different around every corner.You can stay there as well, they have a lovely B&B. Highly recommended.

    Scenic streetscape for a lovely walk, Bruno’s sculpture garden tranquil and quirky. A variety of places to stay. Beautiful in autumn, refreshing in summer.

    So close to Melbourne and Marysville allows you to get back in touch with nature, breathe some fresh air and feel revitalized. It is Victoria’s best kept secret!

    We have been comming to Marysville for over 40 years and will keep returning until we cannot drive any more, it has changed (for the better) but still has that special village feel, surrounded by natural beauty. My vote is for Marysville.

    Marysville is our favourite place, beautiful, relaxing, top affordable accommodation. Cloce to Melbourne so it is easy to pop up for a couple of days and go back to the rat race replenished. Love it!

    Marysville is so pretty any time. Today there is a little mist over the surrounding ranges, a chill in the air, sitting in front of a lovely fire, and a drop of fine local red. A great way to spend the day.
    Cant wait for the winter snow to cover the mountain, all this 90 mins from Melbourne, no flights or expensive petrol costs. Well worth the visit.

    Only 90mins from Melbourne though the wineries of the Yarra Valley over the majestic mountain ash and giant tree ferns of the Black Spur to the mountain seclusion of the village of Marysville and Melbournes closest Alpine Resort of Lake Mountain.

    A couple of years ago I visited Marysville, and loved the village feel, beautiful natural surroundings, impressed with the excelent choice and quality accommodation, I felt relaxed and replenished and thought wouldn,t it be great to feel like this everyday. So I moved here and enjoy every minuit of Marysvillel

    Marysville is a place of tranquility and peace. Great for recharging that battery and relieving any form of tension. Has some lovely cottages that people can stay at reasonable prices.

    Marysville in Autumn is magnificent! This quaint mountain village is so close to Melbourne and yet feels like you are so far away. You drive throught the Back Spur, a treat in itself, and when you get to Marysville the colours are truely spectacular. It’s great in winter too for the cross country skiing at Lake Mountain. Acutally Spring is also fabulous. Come to think of it , it’s a great place in all seasons!

    Bruno’s Art and Sculpture Garden
    A magical experience set in beautiful rain forest in Marysville. Fantastically imaginative creations, many of them sculpted from materials found in the forest. I rate this a world-class attraction which deserves to be much better known.

    A picturesque little village, close proximity to Melbourne, but far enough away mot to be to crowded. Many fine places to stay, rating from gold class to good accommodation at respectable rates. Beautiful natural areas to go and see, including Steavenson Falls, good walking tracks and close to Cathedral Range. Many great picnic spots with running water and a fine place to enjoy nature’s finest surroundings.
