Miss Amelie has arrived in Beechworth. The location is prime, at the one and only round about in Beechworth. The upstairs balcony gives you sensational views of Beechworth whilst sipping on coffee, sweet pastries, salads and wraps. And it’s licensed so a glass of local wine or beer to accompany some fine food is a Beechworth must do.

Tiny is two years old and it’s just that….a tiny space but with huge personality. Drop in and see Liv and Jake, who are without doubt the most entrepreneurial and energetic young folk going round. By night, Jake is a photographer and Liv a musician, and by day, Tiny is their gig. They serve fabulous coffee, hot chocs, chai and jaffles. Small but mighty – most definitely.

You’re not alone. At this time of year, us southerners are bemoaning the frosty mornings, the short days and are dreaming of a long, warm holiday to some exotic destination.

So we thought we’d give you some good news. A change of scenery and a quick weekend getaway can do wonders for the soul and provide many benefits over the annual holiday.

A weekend getaway will keep on giving as there is:

1. much less planning needed – just hop in the car or on a train and in a few hours your there
2. less packing – no need to layout your clothes in advance, find your travel padlocks or arrange international currency
3. less time on a plane or in a car – you spend less time in transit and more time relaxing at your accommodation, dining on fresh produce, sampling the local brews (and you can feel good about minimising your impact on the environment)
4. more cash in your pocket to plan more weekend getaways to Beechworth!

Of course we are biased, but Beechworth is a fabulous destination for a roadtrip to the countryside.

If you need a little more convincing…..here are some incentives:

1. Beechworth has accommodation to suit all budgets and tastes. At 1860 we cater for couples only. Our property is stylish-rustic (if there is such a thing) with an open fire and wood supplied. Beechworth also has family accommodation, heritage B&B’s and 5-star properties.

3. The Beechworth Historic Park meanders through the the Beechworth Gorge, which has beautiful smooth rocks, water holes and views across the beautiful countryside. A popular walk of around 6km, the Gorge walk starts and ends in Beechworth with great cafes at either end.So if you need to recharge, getaway for a few days, reconnect and get amongst pristine nature….we think a roadtrip to Beechworth is just what the doctor ordered!
