Where to stay in Nagambie

Nagambie accommodation compared property by property: the two caravan parks, three High Street motels, The Mitchelton Hotel and group homesteads, with boat parking, pets and booking tips.

Nagambie accommodation comes down to about a dozen real choices: two caravan parks, three motels on High Street, a winery hotel, and a handful of riverside homesteads and retreats for groups. The town is small enough that almost all of them are a few minutes from the lake, the ramps and dinner, so the decision is really about who is coming, what you are towing and how early you book. Every detail below was checked against the property's own website in November 2026.

02Caravan parks and cabins

Discovery Parks Nagambie Lakes

The big holiday park at 69 Loddings Lane, the one most people mean by "Nagambie caravan park" and the former Nagambie Lakes Leisure Park. Discovery Parks lists powered and ensuite sites, riverside cabins and three-bedroom cabins that sleep eight, with a pool, playground, jumping pillow, tennis court, camp kitchen, BBQs and a dump point. The park sits on the Goulburn beside the Loddings Lane ramp, so you can launch without towing through town. Note the park's campfire ban, which runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 April 2027. It is the default pick for families with a boat; see our full Discovery Parks Nagambie Lakes guide.

Nagambie Lifestyle Park

The smaller park at 143 High Street, at the southern entrance to town, which also trades as Nagambie Lifestyle Village. Its own site lists holiday units, motel rooms, drive-through powered sites and caravan and camping sites, with a solar-heated pool, playground, trampolines and a games room. It is a BIG4 partner park, so it is the answer if you are searching for a BIG4 in Nagambie. This is the dog owner's pick: there are pet-friendly units and powered sites, but BIG4 notes pets must be pre-booked by phone and are not taken over Easter or the December to January school holidays. Check-in is 2pm, check-out 10am, and peak events and long weekends require full prepayment.

03Motels on High Street

All three motels sit on the main street, so dinner is a walk away. More detail in our motels guide.

Nagambie Waterfront Motel

At 277 to 279 High Street, at the lake end of town. The motel offers Lake View rooms on the ground and first floor, standard and family rooms, an executive suite and an accessible room, with a pool, BBQ, laundry and direct access to the lake boardwalk. Its site also links an on-site restaurant, Somewhere. If you want to wake up looking at the water, ask for a Lake View room.

Centre Town Motel

At 266 High Street, in the middle of the shops. Centre Town Motel has standard queen and twin rooms, deluxe rooms and an executive king, plus an outdoor pool, free parking, WiFi and a fridge and microwave in the rooms. Standard check-in is 2pm and check-out 10am, but the motel offers 1pm check-in and 11am check-out when you book direct, which matters on a regatta morning. There is no restaurant on site, and you won't need one.

Nagambie Motor Inn and Conference Centre

At 185 High Street, at the southern end of town. Nagambie Motor Inn has 19 rooms with kitchenettes, a pool, an undercover BBQ and a laundry, and it is the only motel in town that advertises secure boat and trailer parking, with boat, bike and trailer cleaning facilities about 50 metres away. Breakfast and dinner are available, and there is bike hire. Check-in is 2pm, check-out 10am. For anglers towing a boat, this is the motel to call first.

04The winery stay

The Mitchelton Hotel

Ten minutes out of town at 470 Mitchellstown Road, on the Mitchelton estate. The Mitchelton Hotel has 58 rooms and a pool, with the Muse restaurant, day spa, cellar door and Provedore cafe on the same site and frontage onto the Goulburn. The Crescent Cabins are 33 square metre king rooms for two with a private deck. This is the couples and occasion pick, not the 5am fishing base. Plan the rest of the visit with our Mitchelton guide, and add Tahbilk next door for a two-winery day.

05Groups: homesteads and riverside retreats

For a big family, a buck's weekend or a rowing crew, a whole house usually beats four motel rooms.

  • Hide and Seek Retreat: riverside property on the Goulburn Weir to Murchison road, north of town, with a Waterfront Villa that sleeps 19, a River House that sleeps 16 and glamping huts. Formerly Hide and Seek Winery.
  • Lochrae Homestead: 300 acres at Kirwans Bridge, with a Farmer's Cottage (four queen rooms) and Shearer's Quarters (up to 12), for up to 20 guests in total. Pair it with our Kirwans Bridge guide.
  • McGregor Homestead: a holiday house in Nagambie that sleeps 11.

GoNagambie keeps the full district accommodation directory, including the smaller B&Bs and holiday homes.

06Budget: camping

There is no free camping on the lake itself. The riverside camping on the Goulburn is bare-bones, and fire restrictions apply through summer. Our camping guide covers where it is legal and when a powered site is the smarter call.

07Which one suits your trip

  • Family with a boat: Discovery Parks Nagambie Lakes, for the pool, the cabins and the ramp at the gate.
  • Angler in a motel: Nagambie Motor Inn, for secure trailer parking and the boat wash.
  • Couple: a Lake View room at the Waterfront Motel, or The Mitchelton Hotel for a winery weekend.
  • Bringing the dog: Nagambie Lifestyle Park, outside the Christmas and Easter blackout.
  • Group of 10 to 20: Lochrae Homestead or Hide and Seek Retreat.
  • Rowing family on a regatta weekend: whatever you can still get, and book the next one now.

08When Nagambie books out

Three kinds of weekend fill every bed in town. Rowing regattas bring thousands of rowers and families: the APS Regatta closes the lake on Saturday 28 November, and the 2027 season builds to the Nagambie Regatta (13 to 14 February), the State Championships (26 to 28 February) and APS Heads of the River (20 March), all on the Shire's closures list. The first weekend of Murray cod season, 5 to 6 December this year, is the anglers' equivalent. And the Victorian summer school holidays run from 19 December to 26 January (vic.gov.au). For any of these, book weeks ahead and confirm boat or trailer parking in the same call. Our regattas guide and regatta weekend itinerary cover the rowing weekends in detail, and what's on in Nagambie has the town calendar.

Once the bed is sorted, plan the meals with eat and drink in Nagambie and the days with things to do in Nagambie.

09Common questions

Where should I stay in Nagambie with a boat? Discovery Parks Nagambie Lakes if you want a cabin or site beside the Loddings Lane ramp, or Nagambie Motor Inn if you want a motel room: it advertises secure boat and trailer parking with a boat wash about 50 metres away. Whatever you book, give the trailer length when you call.

Is there dog-friendly accommodation in Nagambie? Yes. Nagambie Lifestyle Park has pet-friendly holiday and motel units and powered sites, booked by phone, but not over Easter or the December to January school holidays. Other properties don't publish a pet policy online, so ask before you book.

Is there a hotel in Nagambie? The Mitchelton Hotel, a 58-room hotel with a pool, restaurant and day spa on the Mitchelton winery estate, ten minutes from town. In Nagambie itself the options are the three High Street motels.

Which Nagambie accommodation is on the lake? The Waterfront Motel is at the lake end of High Street with direct access to the lake boardwalk and Lake View rooms. Discovery Parks Nagambie Lakes sits on the Goulburn beside the Loddings Lane ramp.

Where can a big group stay in Nagambie? Lochrae Homestead at Kirwans Bridge takes up to 20 across two houses, Hide and Seek Retreat has a villa for 19 and a river house for 16, and McGregor Homestead sleeps 11.

When should I book Nagambie accommodation? As early as you can for regatta weekends, the first weekend of cod season in December and the summer school holidays. Outside those dates, a week or two ahead is usually fine.
