12 Best Glamping Spots in Victoria for 2026

Victoria might be Australia's smallest mainland state, but it packs in an incredible variety of landscapes — from the rugged Grampians to the dramatic Great Ocean Road coastline, from the alpine High Country to the rolling hills of the Yarra Valley. And there's a glamping spot to match every one of them — and plenty of traditional camping spots too.

We've spent weekends at over 20 glamping properties across Victoria to bring you the 12 worth booking. Every recommendation comes from a personal stay, not a press release. Looking for NSW options? See our best glamping in NSW.

Note

Prices listed are approximate nightly rates for two adults in peak season. Many properties offer midweek and off-season discounts of 20-30%. Always book directly with the property for the best rates.

The Grampians Region

1. Grampians Peaks Eco-Safari Tents

High on our list for good reason. These elevated safari tents sit on a private ridge with uninterrupted views of the Grampians ranges. Each tent has a king bed, ensuite bathroom with rainfall shower, and a private deck with a fire pit. The sunrise from your bed is worth the drive alone.

What we loved: The complete silence. No road noise, no neighbours — just kookaburras at dawn and stars at night. The eco-credentials are genuine too: solar power, rainwater collection, and composting toilets that don't feel like composting toilets.

Price: From $350/night | Best for: Couples seeking total escape

2. Halls Gap Lakeside Glamping

Sitting right on the edge of Lake Bellfield, these bell tents offer an affordable entry into Grampians glamping. They're well-equipped with real beds, quality linen, and a camp kitchen shared between six tents. The location is unbeatable for accessing Grampians walking tracks.

What we loved: The value. At under $200/night, you get a comfortable bed in one of Victoria's most beautiful locations with immediate access to trails like the Pinnacle Walk.

Price: From $180/night | Best for: Hikers and budget-conscious glampers

Great Ocean Road

3. Cape Otway Eco-Lodges

Perched in the ancient Otway rainforest, these standalone eco-lodges blur the line between glamping and luxury accommodation. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame towering mountain ash trees, and the outdoor bath (yes, a proper freestanding bath in the forest) is genuinely magical.

What we loved: Spotting koalas from the deck. The Otways have one of Australia's densest koala populations, and we counted seven during our two-night stay without leaving the property.

Price: From $420/night | Best for: Nature lovers and couples celebrating special occasions

4. Apollo Bay Surf & Stay Domes

Geodesic domes on a hillside overlooking Apollo Bay and the Southern Ocean. Each dome has a transparent panel in the roof for stargazing from bed. They're modern, well-insulated, and surprisingly spacious inside. The communal fire pit area is great for meeting other travellers.

What we loved: Falling asleep watching stars through the dome ceiling while listening to the ocean. The on-site sauna is a bonus after a day of hiking.

Price: From $280/night | Best for: Adventure seekers and Instagram-savvy travellers

Yarra Valley & Dandenong Ranges

5. Yarra Valley Wine Country Tents

Safari-style tents set among the vineyards, each with a private outdoor bathtub and views across the valley. The on-site restaurant sources produce from surrounding farms, and there's a cellar door literally next door. It's the most indulgent glamping experience in Victoria.

What we loved: Having a wine tasting within walking distance of our tent. The cheese platter delivered to our deck at sunset was an experience we still talk about.

Price: From $450/night | Best for: Foodies and wine lovers

6. Dandenong Ranges Treehouse Glamping

Three treehouses elevated among the mountain ash and tree ferns. Each has a wood-fired stove, a king bed, and a wraparound balcony. It feels like sleeping in the canopy of the forest. The nearby walking trails through Sherbrooke Forest are exceptional.

What we loved: The sound of rain on the tin roof while warm beside the wood fire. Pure magic on a cold winter night.

Price: From $320/night | Best for: Couples wanting a winter escape close to Melbourne

Gippsland & Wilsons Promontory

7. Wilsons Prom Luxury Hikes

Not a fixed glamping site, but a fully catered multi-day hiking experience with luxury camps set up at remote beaches along the Prom. Think proper beds, hot showers, and chef-prepared meals — all deep in the wilderness. It's the best way to experience Wilsons Promontory without carrying a heavy pack.

What we loved: Walking into a remote beach camp with a hot meal waiting. The guides know the Prom intimately and share stories you won't find in any guidebook.

Price: From $1,800/person (3-day guided trip) | Best for: Hikers who want comfort in the wilderness

8. Gippsland Lakes Floating Glamping

Permanently moored houseboats fitted out as glamping suites on the Gippsland Lakes. Wake up to pelicans fishing off your deck and kayak out to explore the lakes system. Each boat has a small kitchen, bathroom, and an upper-deck viewing platform.

What we loved: The absolute uniqueness. Sleeping on the water with 360-degree lake views and not another soul in sight is something special.

Price: From $290/night | Best for: Families and anyone wanting something different

Mornington Peninsula & Phillip Island

9. Peninsula Hot Springs Glamping

Located within walking distance of the famous Peninsula Hot Springs, these luxury tents give you priority access to the thermal pools. The tents themselves are well-appointed with king beds and ensuite bathrooms. Perfect for a winter weekend escape from Melbourne.

What we loved: Walking from our tent to a natural hot spring under the stars. It's only 90 minutes from Melbourne but feels like another world.

Price: From $380/night | Best for: Wellness seekers and couples

High Country

10. Mount Buffalo Alpine Glamping

High-altitude glamping at 1,500 metres with views across the alpine plateau. The insulated tents are set up for four-season use with wood-fired heaters for winter stays. In summer, you're surrounded by wildflowers. In winter, snow-capped peaks.

What we loved: The stars at this altitude are extraordinary. Zero light pollution and crystal-clear mountain air make for the best stargazing we've experienced in Victoria.

Price: From $260/night | Best for: Stargazers and hikers

11. Falls Creek Summer Glamping

Operating only from November to April, these tents on the edge of Falls Creek village offer a different perspective on a place most Victorians associate only with skiing. The summer wildflower walks are genuinely world-class, and the nearby 4WD tracks through the High Country are worth exploring.

Price: From $220/night | Best for: Summer hikers and mountain bikers

Western Victoria

12. Daylesford Mineral Springs Retreat

Luxury bell tents in a private garden setting near the Hepburn Springs mineral water reserve. Each tent has a clawfoot bath filled with mineral spring water. The nearby Daylesford township is Victoria's spa capital with excellent restaurants and galleries.

Price: From $300/night | Best for: Spa lovers and weekend escapes

Pro Tip

Book your Victorian glamping stays at least 6-8 weeks ahead for weekends, especially during autumn (March-May) when the colours are spectacular. Midweek stays are often 20-30% cheaper and availability is much easier.

What to Bring Glamping

Most glamping properties provide bedding, towels, and basic kitchen facilities. But a few extras make the experience even better:

Layers: Victorian weather changes fast, especially in the Grampians and High Country. Pack a warm jacket and a sleeping bag liner for cold nights — even luxury tents can get chilly.
Day pack: A quality backpack for day hikes from your glamping base. The Grampians, Great Ocean Road, and High Country all have spectacular walking trails within reach.
Camera and binoculars: Wildlife spotting is half the fun at these properties — koalas at Cape Otway, wombats in the Grampians, and incredible birdlife across all regions.
A good book and a bottle of wine — this isn't bush camping, it's meant to be indulgent.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time of year for glamping in Victoria?

Autumn (March-May) is ideal — warm days, cool nights, stunning colours, and fewer crowds than summer. Winter glamping is also magical at properties with wood fires, especially in the Dandenong Ranges and High Country. Summer (December-February) is best for coastal properties along the Great Ocean Road.

Do I need to bring bedding to glamping?

No. All the properties listed provide quality bedding, linen, and towels. Some also provide bathrobes and slippers. You just need to bring personal items, warm layers for cooler evenings, and a sense of adventure.

Is glamping suitable for families with kids?

Several of our listed properties welcome families, particularly the Gippsland Lakes Floating Glamping and Halls Gap Lakeside Glamping. Always check with the property before booking, as some luxury-focused glamping sites have minimum age requirements or are adults-only.

How far are these glamping spots from Melbourne?

Most are within 2-3 hours drive from Melbourne CBD. The closest options are in the Dandenong Ranges (1 hour), Mornington Peninsula (1.5 hours), and Yarra Valley (1.5 hours). The Grampians and Gippsland are about 3 hours, while the High Country is 3.5-4 hours.
