The Experience
walking trails & wildlife
With over 12km of bush walking trails through our 120-acre private nature reserve, walkers and bikers will enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding Yarra Valley upon reaching the summit; experience the unique geological structure and natural beauty of Yering Gorge and discover the perfect picnic spot on the banks of the Yarra River.
Our nature reserve is home to Eastern Grey kangaroos, echidnas and wombats; providing Yering Gorge Cottages’ guests with a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with some of Australia’s most iconic wildlife. Occasionally spotted is our ‘rare’ white kangaroo which is a genetic strain of the Eastern Grey.
