Maru is a family-run attraction on the Bass Highway in Grantville, South Victoria, just 15 minutes from Phillip Island. Meet and hand-feed koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, dingoes, emus, parrots, wombats, crocodiles and other Australian animals, then set sail for 18 holes of Pirate Pete's Mini-Golf with life-size pirate figures and a five-metre waterfall. Refuel with breakfast or lunch at the Homestead Bistro, or cool down with an ice-cream, milkshake or iced drink from the Ice Bar. A perfect day trip from Melbourne or a stop on the way to your Phillip Island adventure.
