Austin Rise

Situated in Heidelberg, a 25-minute drive from the Melbourne CBD, this cosy B&B is the ideal base for sporting enthusiasts. Positioned less than 16 kilometres (10 miles) from the Melbourne Cricket Ground and Flemington Racecourse (the home of the Melbourne Cup), this B&B has three guest suites, all with a full cooked-to-order breakfast included in the package. Relax in front of the gas log fire, explore the nearby Yarra Valley Flats with its 85 hectares (210 acres) of heritage landscapes, bushland, wetlands and birdlife or take a stroll to the cafés and restaurants nearby.
