The stunning views from either Meringa Springs' main lodge or its three lavish villas are more than enough reason to make it the natural choice for a stay in this enchanted part of Victoria. Looking out across meadows dotted with grazing kangaroos towards Mount Difficult (the outline of which is cleverly evoked by the lodge's rakish roofline), you find yourself about as far from the urban world as possible.
Meringa's quietly opulent rooms are rich with timber floors, high ceilings, deeply comforting beds, stone fireplaces, double spas and double showers. The lodge's verandah and deck make them the natural setting for an evening drink or two, or to be welcomed by owners Gail and Paul Widmer, who know the Grampians so well.
Then there's the surprise of finding an in-house restaurant serving a variety of different cuisines depending on the local or visiting chef – all in surroundings that city gourmets can only dream about. Meringa Springs is exclusive, sophisticated and discreetly friendly, with its incredible views making for a memorable Grampians experience. Location: 305km or three hours west of Melbourne. Melway 926 C1. HEMA RA 44 C6.
Facilities: Three villas (lounge, bedroom, TV/DVD, open fire, double spa, double shower, heating, AC); two king rooms (double shower, patio, mini bar, AC). Lounge, dining room, bar, breakfast patio. Full breakfast served; dinner available in restaurant.
