Things to do at Bonnie Doon

With Lake Eildon only a 400m (approx., when the lake is full) walk you will find plenty to do here in Bonnie Doon and surrounds.

MAKE THE MOST OF SUMMER AND WINTER!!

Bring your boats, jet skies, kayaks, SUP boards, fishing rods and swimming gear for summer fun right at your fingertips.

Or if you prefer the cold then bring your snow gear for a lovely drive, under an hour to Mt Buller for winter fun of skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing and snow play.

4 wheel driving tracks are a plenty amongst the mountain ranges for those who like getting muddy and dirty with nature.

Not to forget the energetic ones, why not bring your bike and ride The Mansfield Rail Trail. 134km of bike track from Seymour to Mansfield which is suitable for all ages and abilities. Or even just somewhere to take your dog for a well earned walk.

Bonnie Doon town is a 10 minute pleasant walk for a lovely coffee or meal at The Bonnie Bar or roadhouse which has all your needs available from general store products, hot take away meals, breakfast menus to alcohol. Choose between the 2 service stations for petrol and equipment. On weekdays the local op shop is open run by volunteers, always a bargain to be found here. Across the bridge is The Bonnie Doon Pub with a range of meals that are delicious and reasonably priced, entertainment is also possibly provided.

Bonnie Doon Football/Netball club is easily accessed with a play ground, tennis courts to hire and not to mention the footy ground and netball courts for some ball games. Or just sit on the balcony relaxing while watching a game of local footy on home days

Mansfield is an easy and scenic 15 minute drive to wonder the shops, supermarkets, cafes and all local attractions including a golf course and a ZOO!

So there's plenty to see and do here in Bonnie Doon or just sit back relax and unwind

Great for Snow Trip!
This is a great place to stay for your snow trip. Very conveniently located near Mansfield. Picturesque views of the beautiful green rolling hills from the bedroom & living areas. But the bedroom with the bunk beds is certainly the kids' favourite!!! Really enjoyed the stay & we'll be back.

Amazing place to relax!
We found "Life is Better At the Lake" as an extra ordinary place to relax. The place was really clean and very spacious. Entertainment deck is one of the best. Very cozy and enjoyed every minute. Huge thanks for Allison who has provided such a nice place. Highly recommend for any one who needs to relax!!!

Beautiful house & plenty of room
The house was very impressive & lots of room. The entertaining deck was perfect even though the weather was raining & cold. The outdoor heaters worked beautifully combined with the blinds to keep it comfortable to sit outside...along with the outdoor fire pit. With reverse cycle units in every room everyone was happy! I will be, & already have, recommending Life's Better At The Lake to my family & friends. Thank you Allison for sharing your lovely house.
