Stay & Sunrise in the Yarra Valley

Check in to Yering Gorge Cottages the day prior to your flight and you can enjoy an extra sleep-in before your flight over the Yarra Valley with Global Ballooning Australia takes off. Experience the mystical, early morning mist as it wraps over the Yarra Valley.  Enjoy the brilliant sunrise from your hot air balloon as you magically float across the Yarra Valley floor – taking in the abundance of restaurants and cellar doors that are waiting to be explored by day.  Guests have the option of booking a flight only or enjoying the traditional champagne breakfast post flight before returning to your cottage to start discovering the Yarra Valley at ground level.

By basing yourself at Yering Gorge Cottages before your hot air balloon flight with our partners at Global Ballooning Australia you can fully experience the delights of the Yarra Valley, renowned for its incredible selection of food and wine experiences; and complemented by some stunning attractions including TarraWarra Museum of Art, Dame Nellie Melba’s historical home and gardens at Coombe Farm and Healesville Sanctuary. With so much to discover, we find our guests often extend their visit, ensuring their lasting memories of their time in Victoria are watching our resident kangaroos from their private deck.

Guests have the rare opportunity to get up close and personal with some of Australia’s most iconic wildlife during their stay. Discover kangaroos, wombats and echidnas roaming wildly in their natural habitat as you relax in your cottage with a glass of the Yarra Valley’s finest wine.

Global Ballooning Australia operates daily flights of the Yarra Valley, weather permitting. Advance bookings are essential, and guests must make their own way to the nominated departure point.
