Metung Village is tucked away, like a well kept secret, in a peaceful corner of the Gippsland Lakes.
Metung offers a true escape, a chance to share simple pleasures. It's both incredibly romantic and fabulous for families.
Metung is a beautiful place to stay . A tiny village set in the heart of the Gippsland Lakes, with its history steeped in boats, fishing and gentle lifestyles. A village that has always drawn those seeking a special holiday. It's a place that gives you time to recall the simple pleasures of life.
Stroll along the boardwalk and watch the yachts fly by, or set up your deckchair for a spot of fishing. Dine in the sunshine, or swim at the Metung beach. And there are lots of ways to explore the surrounding waterways: bring your own boat, hire one here, or join a cruise.
'Metung' must-dos:-
* Take a peaceful, early morning stroll along the boardwalk, past the moored boats, to the entrance of Chinamans Creek.
* Cruise the lake system, whether you hire a runabout for a couple of hours or take a cruise on the Director cruise boat.
* Travel inland to visit some of the local artists, including painter Max Nicholson and silversmiths Marcus Foley and Dore Stockhausen.
* Take home some gorgeous Chocodence truffles made by Jill Cross in Metung and available at the general store and the Metung Visitor Information Centre.
* Visit the Metung Farmers Market, held on the Village Green every second Saturday morning of the month.
* Indulge in a famous pie from the Metung Bakery
* Arrive early for lunch at the Metung Hotel. Each day, at about midday, a flock of friendly pelicans arrives to be fed.
