WINTER is an ideal time to visit Victoria's Grampians region: and it is even better when combined with a stay at Dunkeld's Royal Mail Hotel.
Two new accommodation packages allow guests to make the most of the colder weather. Warm up in Winter Package and the Gourmet Getaway Package are valid until the end of the month.
Priced from $500 per couple, the packages showcase the best of the hotel's experiences and provide a luxurious base from which to explore the region.
They include accommodation in the original bluestone shearers' cottages or the contemporary deluxe mountain view rooms, multi-course dining in the hotel's two-hatted restaurant, breakfast, a wine cellar tour and chef-led kitchen garden excursion.
The hotel is celebrated for its exemplary food and wine offerings across two restaurants, its extensive wine collection and kitchen garden - which grows 80 per cent of the produce featured on executive chef Robin Wickens' menu.
This, combined with the surrounding walking trails, makes the Royal Mail Hotel an indulgent getaway for foodies and nature lovers.
