People who live in busy cities often choose to base their holidays in quieter locations so that they can rest and relax without the feeling of being overcrowded, and without having to cope with mainstream traffic jams. You can certainly do both of these things at Metung, a small village in the south of Victoria that has only about 1200 permanent residents.

This small village between Bairnsdale and Lakes Entrance attracts many tourists though, so the area is set up to cater to all who come. Boating, fishing and swimming are the most popular activities and the area is well suited to them, since it lies on the narrow peninsula that reaches into Lake King. If that seems a strange location for a village, it certainly makes it a popular one with plenty of marinas and jetties for boating enthusiasts.

You can even hire a boat for the night and go off exploring the lakes and rivers, wetlands and other marine or terrestrial environments, mooring overnight wherever you please. There are many walking trails for the tourist to explore and the scenery is absolutely delightful. In addition, there is an art gallery in the village ...
... where many Gippsland artists display their work.

In East Gippsland, accommodation is plentiful with your choice of motel or hotel, bed and breakfast, villa or family cottage, unit or apartment accommodation. Due to the region having so many lakes, many accommodation choices offer absolute water frontage and most afford scenic water views to enjoy. You can choose from budget style accommodation through to the more luxurious style.

In Metung, accommodation is also delightfully situated on or near to the water. In fact, since the village is surrounded on three sides by water you can hardly get away from it. Some accommodation choices even offer their own mooring at one of the nearby jetties or marinas. Most cater for children with play areas and some, like the tourist park and larger unit complexes, have their own pools.

However, this location is not all beach and water; it also has a restful country atmosphere, golf club and wineries that can be toured by charter boat. So those looking to chill out on their holidays could hardly choose a better spot than this delightfully restful area where there are no parking hassles and life moves along at a slower pace. And there are still several specialty shops to cater for the inveterate shopper.
