The Sebel Yarrawonga Silverwoods

This property's location is amazing, and the entire property is in very good condition and presents beautifully. Located right on the edge of the lake on a point, you could not ask for a better view. Sunrise in the mornings across water, and sunsets in the evening across water also. Teaming with birdlife, this is a spectacular venue and this is our 2nd time staying here.

OMG - what on earth have they done with the F&B department? Having stayed here 2 years prior, the huge let down for this property is their food & beverage offer - Get rid of whoever is pretending to be in charge of the F&B department, and start again, or better still, wind back the clock to how this place was 2 years ago! We were here for 2 nights and the first night, they had no tequilla whatsoever at the bar - what sort of bar runs out of tequilla??? The 2nd day we had some spare time in the afternoon so decided to spend some time by the pool and have a few drinks poolside - about 20 guests in total using the pool, and the bar appears to be open, but no staff show up, so after a couple of minutes waitning, we walk into the inside bar and ask are they serving at the poolbar - "no, its closed" they say. Why not put a sign on the bar then to say the bar is closed?? The staff look at me like blankly. At least by day 2, they had found some tequilla, so poolside margarittas it was! Then onto dinner - this property used to have a fine dine restaurant and a casual steak restaurant with pizzas etc.. They have closed the fine dine area and it is now all the one menu, except the pizzas are no longer on the menu. The menu is very limited, and on night 2 after we had eaten, we saw the next table being served pizzas, and asked the waitstaff why we were not offererd the pizza menu?? The wait person said that pizzas are available in the bar menu - but if you ask for them you can have them in the restaurant - OMG, how about telling your guests these little snippets - we had steak 2 x nights running because that was all we were offered!! On a positive note, Jasmine our waitress was first clas and she deserves to be mentioned. Thank you Jasmine! As to the rest of her colleagues; they all need to go back to F&B training school, or be totally replaced!! No one to blame here other than management (if there is any?).

Excellent stay, love the pool. Stay very helpful.

Outdoor area from bedroom needs a clean, clean up cobwebs and wash down area.

Comfy bed.

To many children in the pool. The bar fridge in the room wasn’t cold enough. And there wasn’t much selection for lunch and dinner. And the Breakfast was below average for a 5Star hotel.

The Sebel Yarrawonga was a beautiful wedding destination. The building and grounds are beautifully designed with the stunning lake as a backdrop.

Everything has to be charged to your room ie cocktails by the pool, breakfast etc. We prefer paying as we go.

The pool area. Location near the water and nice new hotel

The breakfast service could be better

The architecture and building were beautiful. The location was great looking out over the water. Pool was beautiful and cleaning staff lovely.

The buffet breakfast was dismal, almost like a school camp served in a rolled in bain marie. Everything just seemed not quite finished or polished. Tea towels on the ground to catch leaks, dirt and hair under our table at breakfast. A ladder in the middle of the room on display, no indoor bar area to sit at as it had other things being stored in there, so felt like a store room. Didnt have the red wine on the menu. Asked to have some dessert served outside while we had a drink, and that wasnt allowed. Lots of scuff marks on all the walls. No mini bar in room.

The rooms were a good size and bed was comfortable the restaurant had a good menu

Nothing really only the car park was a bit far from the rooms

Pool and room was great

Food menu and beverage options were poor, many items were not available with many other options also being taken off the menu since our last visit. Also our shower diverter in the room shower was broken.

It was my dream to stay here, albeit expensive I did it

Nothing
