Home to an array of accommodation options.
Yanakie is the gateway to Wilsons Promontory National Park – the settlement closest to the park gate.
Accommodation in the vicinity includes B&Bs, self-contained cottages and caravan parks.
The beaches at nearby Corner Inlet and Shallow Inlet are only a few minutes drive from Yanakie and are located on either side of the peninsula. Not only are they top fishing spots, but they are also great for swimming, bird watching, bush walking, photography or simply admiring the unspoilt spectacular scenery of this southern coast area.
Yanakie township has a picnic area with free electric undercover BBQ with children’s playground and public toilets.
Yanakie is located 186 kilometres south-east of Melbourne, around 2.5 hours along the South Gippsland Highway. Turn off at Meeniyan and travel through Fish Creek or continue though via Foster. Yanakie is approximately 25 kilometres from Foster or Fish Creek.
The gate to Wilsons Promontory is located just a few kilometres past Yanakie. It is then a further 25 minutes to reach Tidal River.
Note: Local wildlife (wombats, kangaroos, wallabies) are often seen on the roadside, be sure to drive slower at dusk and dawn to avoid collision.
Yanakie is right on the doorstep of Wilsons Prom, but is also not too far from other South Gippsland townships.
