Melbourne to Merimbula road trip: Best stops, distance & drive time

Things to do between Melbourne and Merimbula: Genoa and Mallacoota

Continuing the drive from Melbourne to Eden, Alfred National Park offers forest walks, with Genoa Falls bursting into life after rainfall.

There’s another great diversion opportunity here, with the Mallacoota-Genoa Road heading into wildlife-tastic Mallacoota.

Here, you can have a go at kayaking and kangaroo-spotting at Gipsy Point, spot pelicans on a Mallacoota Inlet cruise or lounge Betka Beach.

For Mallacoota accommodation, go for the affordable Mallacoota caravan park or the pricier Mallacoota Hotel Motel and Bruces Waterside Units.
