It is walking distance to Healesville Sanctuary (zoo) and a short drive to Yarra Valley wineries (e.g., Domaine Chandon, Yering Station). The nearest bus stop is on Healesville's main street (Bus #685). Free parking is available at the property, and the motel offers a shuttle service to local attractions (fee applies).
