A winning combo<\/b><\/p>\n

Arguably one of the gems of Australian travel and tourism, the Macedon region of central Victoria offers a stunning slice of regional Victoria. Here\u2019s a combination of some of the high spots which I sampled last week. My recommendations include accommodation in an historic hotel, a winery with a difference and one of the best restaurants around. The Lord Admiral House is the result of some wonderful architecture of the 1860\u2019s, brilliantly restored and today operating as a B&B (www.lordadmiralhouse.com.au) The tariff is from $135 per night and includes a cooked breakfast and afternoon tea on arrival. Call (03) 5422 6862 The recommended restaurant, is just a few minutes drive to historic Kyneton and delightful Piper Street, ring (03) 5422 2777 or visit (www.staranisebistro.com), I reckon one of the best dining spots in regional Victoria.<\/p>\n

The winery, almost a neighbour, is Paramoor and it is an attraction in its own right, set on picturesque farming land (www.paramoor.com.au) For further info ring (03) 5427 1057.<\/p>\n

You could try to combine a trip this way on September 5th and be part of the one day Paramoor Farm Fayre, a bush festival. Admission is $5 per adult. Could be great fun ! <\/p>\n

Value packaged stay<\/b><\/p>\n

Norfolk Island is yours, staying for seven nights at Christians of Bucks Point, a beautifully restored three bedroom home. Included is hire car, airport meet and greet, three Baunti Escape island tours and all pre-payable taxes from $1515 per person quad share, bookable now for travel from September 1 to March 31 next year. Worth following through, so first step is to check out all the details, inclusions and conditions by calling 1800 111 653 or go visit www.omnicheholdays.com <\/p>\n

A good deal<\/b><\/p>\n
