sea
We invite you to stay at our very friendly 14 unit motel Country Roads Motor Inn is located in ORBOST Victoria Australia.
Orbost, 375 kilometres east of Melbourne, is a paradise of forests, rivers and beaches 16 kilometres from the coast on the banks of the legendary Snowy River. Boasting a mild climate it is the hub for exploring the splendour of Snowy River Country.
Located within the region are:
- Snowy River National Park.
- Errinundra National Park.
- Croajingolong National Park.
- Cape Conran Coastal Park.
- Buchan Caves Reserve.
The history of the Snowy River is rich and varied. Paddle steamers and ketches carried local produce from Orbost to Melbourne.
Settlements came and went but Orbost remains on the banks of the river adjacent to some of the richest alluvial soils in the world.
The surrounding forest and farmland have provided employment for generations.
Rare flora and fauna can be found in the nearby National and Coastal Parks and surrounding forests. Some of the more commonly sighted animals include lyrebirds, eastern water dragons, goannas and possums
