To help, we’ve rounded up some of the most unique getaway experiences up for grabs. Plan that trip out of town and get ready to take your camping to glamorous new heights with the best glamping in Victoria.

Balgownie Estate Glamping

If spending the night in luxury in award-winning glamping accommodation is your cup of tea, then perhaps head on out to Balgownie Estate in Bendigo.

Within a 2-hour drive from Melbourne, you will find your tent surrounded by rolling vineyards and crisp bushland at Bendigo's oldest working winery.

Make the most of the prime location, with Balgownie Cellar Door, winery and restaurant all at your fingertips. After your day exploring the wine region, unwind with your bottle of vino on the private deck as you gaze at the stars, and then fall into a wonderfully peaceful slumber in your oh-so-comfy queen-size bed.

Nestled in the hills of the Hepburn Shire, Cosy Tents bell tents and A-frame cabins are so beautifully fitted out that you may just think you’re staying in a hotel, rather than glamping in the Victoria countryside.

Not only does this ideal location offer many nearby wineries — as well as being tantalisingly close to Australia's spa capital, Daylesford — it also provides all the finer details that one may  miss most when camping.

From a full queen or double size bed with luxury bed linen, a Bluetooth speaker and access to hot showers to a winter wood-fire heater and optional breakky box, you are well and truly looked after.
