When it comes to nature and adventure, Victoria is one of the top destinations that generously offers both. One of the most loved attractions in Victoria is the beautiful Lake Eildon. The lake is surrounded by mountains and open woodlands, making it an ideal destination for various nature activities. For bikers and hikers, Eildon Mountain Bike Park and Lake Eildon National Park have scenic trails overlooking the lake. On the other hand, Eildon Pondage Walk is a family-friendly park where you can have a picnic and enjoy peaceful strolls. Lake Eildon also hosts water sports such as wakeboarding, skiing, kayaking, boating, and fishing.

The region is also home to comfy accommodations that are perfect for the entire family, including your pets. Check out this list of the top pet-friendly Airbnbs near Lake Eildon, Australia, and enjoy a lovely vacation.
