Welcome to Discovery Views Holiday Accommodation | Nelson, Victoria
After a day exploring the Great South West Walk, the Glenelg River, or the many natural treasures of Nelson, Discovery Views offers a relaxing, cosy place to recharge before setting off again. Family‑operated and inspired by a love of nature, our accommodation is built for comfort and connection — a peaceful spot between river and coast where everyone can rest easy, reset, and feel at home.
Stay Close to Nature’s Best
Our holiday accommodation is less than 10 kilometres from the Lower Glenelg National Park and a stone’s throw from the serene Glenelg River, making it the perfect base for exploring the breathtaking areas of Victoria and beyond.
Just a short drive across the South Australian border, you’ll find the crystal-clear waters of Piccanninie and Ewens Ponds within a 20-minute drive away, with the Piccanninie Ponds being the closer of the two. These natural wonders are renowned for their visibility and are a must-visit for snorkelling and diving enthusiasts.
Whether you’re drawn to the river’s calm waters for fishing or kayaking, the rugged trails of the national park, or the fascinating underwater worlds of the nearby ponds, at day’s end, return to comfort — a soft bed, a hot shower, and a quiet moment to reflect on the beauty that surrounds you.
