Fodor's Expert Review Lakeside Villas at Crittenden Estate

25 Harrisons Rd., Dromana, Victoria, 3936, Australia Fodor's Choice

Wine and dine to your heart's content, then amble home to a stylish overwater bungalow on a tranquil lake. Each of the three self-contained villas are decorated in warm, earthy tones and has an open-plan living and dining area, with a log stove and a full kitchen. The north-facing balcony equipped with a barbecue catches most of the day's sun. The separate bedroom has a king-size bed, which can be split into twin beds on request. The living room sofa converts to a bed, accommodating an additional two people for A$50 per person. After a complete renovation, there are now lake views from the shower and freestanding spa in the spacious bathroom. Start the day right with a breakfast basket of bacon, eggs, jams, and complimentary bubbly. Be sure to take advantage of free tastings in the wine center, as well. Stay two nights and receive a bottle of Crittenden Estate sparkling wine.
