YACKANDANDAH
Yackandandah lays cradled in the foothills of the Australian Alps.
Only 20 minutes away from the bustling Albury-Wodonga Growth Centre,
this fascinating and beautiful town is a place of marked contrasts….tumbling
waterfalls, quiet mountain streams, deep rocky gorges and placid verdant
valleys with cattle grazing where towns have long since died and where
miners of bygone days toiled in their search for the elusive gold. It
is a town of tree-lined streets and solid dignified buildings of another
era…the legacy of the boom days of the 1860's. It creates an aura reminiscent
of the flamboyant gold days when the streets rang with the clamor and
excitement of the quest for gold. Yackandandah’s central location, proximity
to the snowfields, the waterways and the licensed clubs of the Border
Area….together with its spectacular scenery, wealth of history and clean
mountain air, make it an ideal base from which to explore North-east
Victoria. Nearby in Beechworth the National Trust has classified 32
buildings and has declared it to be a Notable Town….one of only two
in Victoria.
Centrally located in a delightful town, your well appointed, clean,
comfortable accommodation provides tastefully decorated units situated
in Yackandandah nestled in the foothills of the Australian Alps and
close to the mighty Murray River, a perfect touring base for exploring
the wealth of living history and spectacular scenery during the four distinctive seasons of beautiful
North-East Victoria .
