Alexandra

Alexandra Gardens

Base yourself in Alexandra to explore nearby mountain ranges and waterways, but save time for discovering this quaint historic village.

Village life
Stroll along the wide tree-lined streets past the National Trust-classified post office, national bank and law courts, and discover arts and crafts such as pottery and glassware in gift shops and galleries.

Revisit the past at the Timber Tramway and Museum that displays artefacts from the timber industry of the last century, or join in the fun of the local community market.

Adrenaline boosts
Cruise around Lake Eildon in a chartered houseboat, or experience the thrill of water sports like waterskiing, kayaking and wakeboarding. You'll find some of the best trout fishing in Victoria in the nearby waterways, especially the Goulburn River and Eildon Pondage.

Stunning surrounds
Enjoy tranquil bushland, native wildlife and panoramic views on the trails of Lake Eildon National Park. The dramatic Cathedral Range offers invigorating hikes to the rugged peaks for magnificent views over the valleys and farmland, as well as rock climbing for the more adventurous.
