Mirador Springs is one of Gippsland's most beautiful accommodation venues. Set high on the Strzelecki Ranges overlooking Mt Baw Baw, you are instantly immersed in the tranquility of nature. The Cottage itself has a country chic feel that provides everything you need for a relaxing stay including ornate french fireplace, luxury linens, plush robes, complementary wifi, in-room movies and premium amenities. The majestic gardens at Mirador Springs form the basis of the entire property and were first established by renowned local artist Reg Fazzini in the early 1970's. Originally part of Victoria's "Open Garden Scheme" the expansive lawns, meandering paths, tiered walkways, natural spring and stunning views are all remarkably entwined and lead you on an unforgettable journey through this hidden paradise.
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

This place was absolutely an amazing experience. Situated in Trafalgar Gippsland, Mirador Springs was about 5km up the hill off the main highway just before the town. We were very lucky to be upgraded to the Super Luxe accommodation (due to our booking being cancelled due to storms and unsafe to stay there previously). There was only 1 other glamping tent and a lodge on the property so it was nice and quiet and well set out.
Alot of thought, time and money has been put into this property and it did not disappoint. I was blown away with the amenities which included: Luxury robes and towels, Fridge, Coffee machine and coffee pods, Microwave, Kettle, tea bags and hot chocolate, Undercover Barbecue & Pizza Oven, Complimentary slippers, Toiletries- including eco friendly toothbrushes and shaving kits, Hairdryer, Queen bed, Private outdoor firepit, Heating and Evaporative Cooling, Electric blanket, Sony bluetooth speaker, Dressing Gowns to use during your stay. There was also access to new Pool and Terrace overlooking Latrobe Valley and Mt Baw Baw.
Every little detail was taken care of including marshmallows, yoga mats, extra blankets, fluffy rugs to stand on when you got out of bed.
Escape to this slice of heaven to reconnect and unwind.
It truly was a natural oasis retreat and I was so glad i got to experience it.
Perched high on the Strzelecki Ranges and overlooking Mt Baw Baw, the tent offered complete seclusion with uninterrupted views of the spectacular landscapes below. Everything was so cosy from the lovely bed to the rugs on the floor. We had a private bathhouse which had a bath, separate walk in shower, toilet, basin, sauna (complete with lights and music). Everything was of the highest quality.
I spent time exploring the 15 acres of beautiful garden & orchards, talking to the donkeys and sheep and even rowing the boat on the lake.
It was not a cheap stay but worth it for that special occasion.

Fabulous experience. A unique luxury tent with excellent facilities capped off with great views. Featuring scenic surroundings and a “to die for “ pool. We availed ourself to the bbq dinner pack which was great quality and more than adequate for two. The well travelled hosts have used their experiences to create this perfect oasis in the bush.

Personally the most tranquil glamping experience we have had. A huge thank you to Anne who made this possible. The host that went above and beyond to make this happen and made sure we were looked after regarding relaxation, comfort and without a doubt welcomed. Would love to also recommend the lovely Jodi the masseuse, she left us feeling rejuvenated. We could not recommend more highly Kind regards Julie and James

Lucilla and Kim have a very special place here. Nestled at the top of the hill above Trafalgar with stunning views towards Mt Baw baw. The guest cottage has everything you need for a romantic or restful weekend away for two. Barbecue on the balcony, a comfortable bedroom and lounge and breakfast in the fridge. Definitely a place for a night in with log fire and entertainment. The bonus is your own swimming pond with boat and diving board. Not brave enough to try the flying fox. Gardens and optional animals to bond with. I defy you to leave this place with anything other than positive thoughts.

My husband and I tried our first glamping experience in the beautiful location of Mirador Springs in the Trafalgar hills.
Despite it being wet, cold and generally a pretty miserable weather weekend - the stay itself was serene, peaceful and the perfect opportunity to snug up and spend some much needed time doing nothing.
Ok, not exactly nothing - the tent is beautifully and stylishly setup with all the things to get you by - heater, coffee machine, microwave, games, electric blankets on the bed and of course, the beautiful private bathhouse next door to the tent. But no TV - perfect!
We also ordered an antipasto platter and breakfast provisions for the next morning.
Falling asleep to the sounds of frogs, birds, possums and the rain was a magical experience - we managed 9 hours, which is unheard of for us two workaholics!
We loved the location and are keen to try the cottage stay next time and take in the beautiful gardens on the property.

My husband and I wanted a night away. Mirador fit the bill well. A quaint one bedroom, separate lounge, separate bathroom and separate kitchen cottage - kept cool by design and fans. Lovely breakfast (which you cook yourself) a vegetarian option was available. Big comfortable bed. Lovely outlook and nice walks to be had on the property. Loved hearing and seeing the donkeys. Only met Kim and he was very friendly. The private, quiet relaxing night away that we wanted. Thanks.

Lovely quiet getaway in beautiful surroundings. The cottage was very comfortable (bed & couch) with a kitchen stocked with quality goodies. Great value for money, and we look forward to returning. The best Pet Friendly place we have ever stayed in.

A wonderful and tranquil location set on the hills looking towards the north. The cabin is isolated from the main house and has a great little balcony that makes you feel like your amoungst the bush. We had some parrots fly right up to the tree next to the balcony. The only form of heating was the canara style fire, which was very adequate during our stay in September. The owners provide food for you to cook up in the morning for breakfast. We didn't, but I'm sure you could ask for more eggs, bread etc if you ran out. For dinner it's a short drive back to Trafalgar or Yarragon. Would definitely recommend staying at Mirador.

Hey, Thanks Steve & Lizzie for your visit here at Mirador Springs and for your review. Good to hear you enjoyed it & got the most out of the beautiful setting of the cottage! We have never had anyone ask for extra breakfast, usually there's left overs, but naturally, if anyone felt it was insufficient, as you say, just ask!

We had a really nice and relaxing night away at Mirador Springs. We could have stayed for so much longer and will definitely return. They were really excellent hosts and we had great hospitality. Thanks so much Lucilla and Kim for a perfect night away with a comfy couch and toasty fire!

Hey Alex, it's taken me a while to respond here, but thanks for your review. Glad you guys had a great time & enjoyed the comforts of the cottage. Winter can be a great time to chill out (while staying warm!) up here in the hills. Hope to see you again soon.

Recently spent 6 days here. Was a wonderful solo break and provided everything needed for a bit of rejuvenation. Awesome Thai Yoga Massage, beautiful little cottage, gorgeous property and views, beautiful generous breakfast supplies and wonderful hosts. Would highly recommend for a bit of time out for couples or singles.
