Neighborhood
Saddle Country Escape sits near a small town in Broadford, where gold was discovered by an old mining town in 1852. Unlike many gold mining towns that died, this one has survived as a historical attraction in the region. Today, it has a small number of well-preserved historic buildings and nearby attractions for travelers to explore.
Our local recommendation:
Food Scene
- Seymour is a historic railway township where tourists often visit for a bite to eat, such as The Winery Kitchen, The Brewers' Table, and Burger Me Seymours.
- Broadford is a small town in central Victoria that offers some of the most diverse restaurants and menu options to choose from, such as Broadford Souvlaki & Grill and Lucky Sam's Chinese Restaurant.
Sightseeing
- Stevenson Falls is an awe-inspiring view of one of the highest waterfalls in Victoria.
- Snobs Creek Falls is a spectacular viewing platform and walking track that travelers often enjoy visiting.
- Kinglake National Park is the ideal spot for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy scenic walks, biking, and hiking.
- Kerrisdale Mountain Railway is a train ride that tourists often visit to enjoy the panoramic views in Tallarook.
- Tallarook State Forest is the ideal spot for exciting recreational activities such as four-wheel-driving, camping, bushwalking, mountain bike riding, and horse riding.
