After a hectic winter the Boss has finally given me a long weekend off and she who must be obeyed has agreed we can head away for the weekend provided we don't have to pitch a tent.

Thinking about heading down Dargo way but not having been there before am unsure about where to stay at short notice. Must be cabin or motel style as the tent is not coming.

Has anyone any recommendations or experiences of places to stay in this region.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I think there is a caravan park with cabins a few Kms south of Dargo.

Try here: Dargo Caravan Park. Address Main Road, Dargo, VIC 3862. Telephone 03 5140 1221. Telephone (Evening) 03 5140 1221

Ring first to make sure that I am not wrong.

I have stayed at the motel a few times and it is very nice. A couple of minutes walk to the Pub and shop.

Interesting track.

I am not sure what you drive. But if its "capable" take a drive up Crooked River Road (west of Wonnongatta CP) and then swing up (I mean UP) Billy Goat Track to the Pinnacles. Was a good climb and a good lookout. Personally I would not do it in the wet.

There are a couple of good picnic spots along the Crooked River. Worth a drive up to Dungeys Hut as well.
