Guest Reviews
- Dominique (10/5): Better than expected! easy and comfy - The room had everything we needed. The bed was BIG and comfy. parking was convenient. Check in and out was easy.
- Kaysha (10/5): - The location was absolutely beautiful. Parking was easy and spacious the buildings and rooms were immaculate. Away from busy roads it was almost as if you were in the middle of the country the staff were friendly and helpful.
- Ariel (10/5): -
- Valerio (7/5): Pleasant -
- Ian (6/5): It achieved what we needed a bed for the night other than that cannot say I would recommend it...... - Not much sorry staff was at best not interested when I left also the room looked tired (broken tile in the shower) and the small light near the bedroom did not worked, no electric blanket either, sorry it is winter........ no breakfast facilities I should of asked BUT could not that was not available on the wedpage. It seems a conference centre bar and breakfast but other people like myself needing a stop over......just a bed
- Celine (8/5): Was really convenient to access, spacious rooms and were accommodating to requests - It's a nice place and facilities are great. Rooms are spacious and well equipped. Needs more lighting in the guest carpark
- david (10/5): -
- Leesa (9/5): Enjoyable - Bed were very comfortable. We liked everything about the room including the bathroom (nice bath). In the lounge section, used the microwave and tea/coffee. BYO wine and used the wine glasses. Noticed the bathroom door needs a "stopper" as it bangs against the bath and could use a fly screen on the window.
We would have liked to have dinner at a restaurant on site but could not due to conference booking.
- Wilson (10/5): -
- Sara (9/5): So peaceful and quiet, comfortable beds, big rooms, lovely walks around the facilities and nearby towns - So peaceful and quiet, comfortable beds, big rooms, lovely walks around the facilities and nearby towns My son didn’t like the bugs and spiders in the room he had - however we kinda take that with being in bushlands - suggest do a sweep first if anyone is a little squeamish on bugs :)
- Eastwell (10/5): - Tge staff were very helpful and the bed was massive and the grounds were beautiful No microwave in the room
- Allison (9/5): - It was clean and very quiet and a good location to get to our event.
- Sophie (9/5): Spacious rooms and lovely gardens. - It was a beautiful green space. The rooms were spacious.
- Bianca (10/5): -
- Melissa (10/5): -

- Vicki (9/5): A very relaxing and comfortable stay in a beautiful environment. - The size of the room was very good. The bed was enormous and comfortable. The facilities were basic but enough to suit our 2 -3 day stay. A microwave would have been useful for BYO meals.
- Ian (9/5): -
- Pradip (9/5): -
- Gary (10/5): Excellent - Everything was fantastic
- IRINA (10/5): -
- nowrungsah (8/5): - Location. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Privacy
- Tony (8/5): Close to the Yarra Valley - We stayed here to attend a wedding in the Yarra Valley nearby. The hotel room was quiet with possibly the biggest bed I've ever slept in in a hotel anywhere in the world. There is a large indoor pool and gym although we didn't get to use it. The grounds are lovely.
- duson (10/5): -
- Suzanne (9/5): Clean, comfortable old fashioned charm. Great value - highly recommend - Clean, comfy, good sized room in beautiful surroundings. Great heating/cooling and everything you needed on hand. Exceeded expectations. The door to the bathroom stuck a bit and was difficult to close
- Stephanie (9/5): -
- Maria (8/5): Beautiful natural environment for a relaxing stay - It’s quiet yet close to the places we were visiting. There’s a lot of natural beauty; feels like a campground because it is a large property. We got the impression that the bar would be open; hours are in the guest book in the room. It would be helpful because otherwise you need to drive to eat/drink or get delivery. It’s not on the main road so not easy to find. There’s no microwave in the room which would be helpful
with leftovers from delivery and take out. Both our room and friend’s room had the same bedside lamp not working; front desk bumped replacement to next day which is not helpful for an overnight stay.
- Ros (8/5): -
- Joanna (9/5): Clean, comfortable and well located close to town but nice and quiet area. - Room was well clean and comfortable, shower was amazing. Grounds and facilities could be tidied a little more.
- Josie (8/5): Booked for accommodation after a wedding. Was great for what I needed. - The bed. It was huge and very comfortable. No food options.
- Borys (9/5): -
- Ruth (10/5): Came for a wedding in Yarra Valley/Coldstream. Perfect overnight stay and now wishing it was two nig - Large rooms and super king comfortable bed. The bush setting was so relaxing. Tiles in shower are a little slippery
- Brigitte (9/5): -
- Rose Bugeja (8/5): - It was very quite and peaceful
- Emanuela (7/5): Good for short stay - The property is in a beautiful green area so peaceful Room furniture are old needs an upgrade
- Neil (10/5): Great Facility - Super peaceful location NA
- Janine (10/5): -
- Jann (8/5): Quiet & comfortable - Very quiet, comfortable& clean Bathroom was a little dated, shower hard to open
- Rick (9/5): Great place to stay, great value on the edge of the Yarra Valley - The grounds are large and quiet with plenty of on-site parking. The setting is really nice, and a great place to unwind after a day exploring the wineries and distilleries in the Yarra Valley.
The rooms are large and very clean. There are armchairs to watch TV, so no uncomfortable neck straining from the bed.
Speaking of the bed: it's enormous. Three sets of pillows too. I guess I would recommend it for thruples wanting a getaway? Despite the size of the bed, it was very hard. You can't please everyone and some people like a hard bed. I do not.
- Jennifer (8/5): -
- kmneo (9/5): - Out of hours check in process. Clear instructions on how to gain access adn room keys. Similarly easy check out option. Lack of breakfast options.
- Jan (8/5): -
- John (10/5): -
- Ulrich (7/5): -
- Julie (10/5): - Huge bed and was so comfortabke Nothing
- Panagiota (9/5): -
- Emyr (8/5): -
- Wessam (10/5): - Best bed ever and pillows All.good
- Shonagh (7/5): The interior I couldn't fault - Bed was very comfy. Interior was nice and clean The broken chairs on the verandah. Most were broken and not in good shape. I wouldn't trust sitting on them. They made the accommodation look cheap and nasty. It may be better to just get rid of the broken chairs, asthetic wise. When exploring the property, I noticed other accommodation in other areas had much tidier looking exteriors with no broken furniture and much better quality. It made my stay a little upsetting, because I still paid good money
- Chelsea (8/5): Very comfortable but privacy on room and shower pressure could improve. - The bed was very comfortable and so big! Everything was clean and neat. The water pressure and amount of water coming out of shower head wasn't great.
But it didnt spray in all directions so that was a plus.
The box you recieve your envelope with keys in should never have the room number you are in against your name, with other guests in the same place to collect theirs from, anyone can know what room you are in or just take it.
- Sharon (10/5): -
- Oldham (9/5): Relaxing tranquil family stay - Tha amazing huge bed. Loved it had a gym, swimming pool and games room.
The location was beautiful and so quiet. Unfortunately the pools heating wasn't working at time of stay so was quite fresh.
The gym needs a TV and some exercise mats.
- Trudi (10/5): Perfect, quality accomodation ✅ - Clean -the standard of cleanliness and attention to detail was incredible.
Quality- the entire room was fitted out with quality furniture, utensils, room fittings and bathroom fittings.
Location- so quiet, looking out onto bushland. Magnificent sunsets. Nothing

- Hamilton (7/5): - Easy check in Would prefer mugs instead of little cups for tea
- Helen (10/5): Where bunnies run free! - Loved it! Wished I had more time to explore the gardens & the area.
I spotted a cute little bunny run from the green area past my room, into the forest area. He was in a hurry .... just like me. 🤣
Really wanted to checkout lilydale Lake but didn't have time as I was on a quick overnight stay with other appointments to get to.
Loved that my room had a couch (why I chose it) as something to relax on rather than the bed. Beautiful big room. Comfy bed. Great shower.
Thanks & I'll be back again. 😊 The sound of the lawn mower going off so early, although it was a Friday morning (a usual work day), so not unreasonable. Only that I had had a late one the night before.
