A Romantic Getaway in Gippsland
Mirador Springs is a romantic couples-only retreat nestled on 15 acres of stunning gardens and natural bushland in Trafalgar South, Gippsland. Our Tuscan pool terrace features a 10x5m heated pool that overlooks the breathtaking Baw Baw Ranges and Latrobe Valley. Guests adore the tranquil atmosphere, the botanical gardens, and the delightful rescue farm animals. The sweeping views of Mt Baw Baw create an idyllic backdrop for relaxation.
Unwind in our luxurious glamping tents or our romantic cottage.
Adding to the romance and seclusion, our luxurious glamping tents feature private bathhouses, BBQs, pizza ovens, fire pits, and dining areas. There are no shared facilities here!
The retreat also has a rich history. Our gardens were originally part of Victoria’s Open Garden Scheme and are a delight to wander and explore.
We now care for a growing family of rescue animals who love interacting with our guests.
Blossom, Mama, and Bill—our miniature donkeys—love a hug and a carrot or apple :)
