Guest Reviews
- Jonathan Jesus (10/5): - Staff are really considerate and helpful even in the late hours. A good place to relax and reflect.
- Jacqui (8/5): - We have stayed at this property before. Our room was good as it was last time. A little dated though. The lighting was really bad on our eyes...quite dull. Our bed was extremely comfy...even if it was two beds joined together. Our last room we stayed in, neither of us got much sleep as the bed was extremely uncomfortable...so we were really happy to get a comfortable bed...even if we had to pay a little more than our last visit. I've never known the dining room to be open to eat in...so we've always had to leave the area to go elsewhere to eat. We had a manual for a microwave, but we didn't actually have a microwave in our room, which was strange. The receptionist is beautiful on both of our visits. She is friendly and has great people skills. A gem.
- Sharon (8/5): - It was close to where we were attending a wedding. Didnt spend much time there - it was basically somewhere to sleep for the night. Beds were large, clean and comfortable.
- gladys (10/5): - Always comfortable. Have stayed here numerous times
- Kristy (8/5): Clean and comfortable - Comfortable and clean, okay for a quick trip and if you’re not planning on staying in your room. Shower isn’t the best, but customer service was great.
- Trish (8/5): One and only!? - We stayed here as a last minute decision. The establishment was probably a conference centre but now largely unused. Room was comfortable and quite large but surroundings were in need of some TLC. . It was close to some good restaurants in the nearby shopping centres. I t felt a bit spooky being the only guests in the wing but could be pleasant if the place was full.
- John (6/5): - This property has so much potential to attract guests. The leisure facilities are good but in need of some maintenance - especially the tennis court and games room. Our room was great and the bed and facilities were very comfortable for our stay of 8 nights. Our room was very quiet and restful which was lovely. In our room were two small cups - one plate and one bread and butter plate. We had no sharp knives or board to cut on was available. We purchased a cleaning sponge cloth to wipe down the benches. The daily cleaners did not vacuum our room during our stay and plates, bowls and utensils were rinsed out under the tap in the bathroom and wiped with a tea towel which we had for 8 nights. The cups mysteriously disappeared the night before we left and we had no hot drink before we left on Saturday morning. The gardens are all in need of weeding and the weeds outside our unit were cleared by my wife before we left this morning - as much as could be done. My wife watched the nice girls doing the gardening weeding and they need to be taught how to do this type of work. The outdoor furniture was dirty and needed cleaning. We hope these comments are constructive as we did enjoy our time as guests.
- Pam (10/5): - Very quite
- John (10/5): - Wonderful bed and so quiet and peaceful
- Michael (10/5): Wonderful - Great place in the foothills. Lovely large rooms and very comfortable
- Genevieve (8/5): - Room was clean, however as we were coming and going late and early, being in the farthest room from the car park was a bit inconvenient and I felt sorry for other guests.
- Sherrel (10/5): - Very clean and quiet outside.
- Vanessa (10/5): - Beautiful surroundings, nice and clean. Highly recommended.
- gladys (10/5): - Lovely Room in a quiet setting in amongst trees and gardens
- Greg (6/5): - Difficult to open front door. Bathroom door wouldn't shut properly. Ugly area around room. No attention to making it look pleasant.
- Nicole (10/5): - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Foothills. The rooms are a great size, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The bed is enormous and super comfy! Our room was in D block which was super quiet. The location is absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous maintained gardens and the venue nestled among a stunning forest setting. We didn't have our children with us this time but there is a playground and games room that would be wonderful for kids. The lady at reception who checked us in was really friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay at Foothills Conference Centre next time we are in the area.
- Jennifer (8/5): - Easy to find
- Angela (10/5): - Have stayed here twice and have always experienced quick check in and a comfortable stay. Great place to stay when attending an event in the Yarra Valley.
- marie (10/5): - The surroundings are beautiful and it’s so peaceful. The room was fantastic and the bed was amazing. The water pressure in the shower was great. It was such a pleasurable stay and the communication was great as we didn’t check in until after 5pm. Before I realised the time we received a text on how to go about entering the property and then also the room. Thank you, would highly recommend
- Stuart (10/5): Hidden gem in outer eastern Melbourne - This is the second time I have stayed here for leisure and both times have been perfect. Though it's a conference centre, accommodation is available to general public, and the room size is great. Always clean, decent rates and, so long as you have a car, in a great location for exploring outer eastern Melbourne. Massive, comfortable king size beds, spacious bathrooms and even the basic rooms have either a couch or individual longe chairs with table. Highly recommended and I will stay here again when next in the area.
- Krishma (8/5): - Good place to stay n spacious room
- Linda (10/5): - Very quiet and comfortable. Grear value
- Carol Anne (10/5): - Huge king-sized bed in a huge room...just fantastic!! Wished we had had the time to explore the property a bit more. Will certainly recommend this accommodation to others. Keep up the great work!
- Aaron (10/5): - Huge rooms with ample parking. Very quiet.
- Kris (2/5): - Have been staying here regularly for over two and a half years for work, but the service and property has declined over the last few visits. Last visit - a holes in the sheets - and not changed, only two towels when paid for a bath room, room needed to be cleaned, fridge was not cold and would not cool - had notified of this on a few visits.This visit I was offered a full refund and I went elsewhere. The toliet, only one button worked - just, no blanket, again two towels, room needed to be cleaned and again the fridge not cool nor would it. The MANAGER - who would not give her name really did not care, in fact said that they had had their staff meeting the night before - ie I dont think they should have been charging for accomodation. Very dissapointing as a long term customer and yes I did reach out - but no one cared so I moved on to better - much better. I should have done it sooner.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great spot. Great service. Smooth easy check in..
- Terry (10/5): - Plenty of space and gardens
- David (10/5): - Fantastic bed...lovely gardens, quiet and clean.
- Julie (8/5): - We had a lovely stay. Very tranquil place. We had one problem though but only discovered it after the reception was closed. There was no plug for the bathroom sink.!
- Dean (10/5): - Foothills is BRILLIANT! Highly recommended.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Was ok, staff very accommodating Our towels were thin, threadbare with holes!
- Peter (8/5): - Lovely surroundings. Quite isolated but that is fine if you have own transport.
- Lyn (10/5): - So close to everything but still quiet and in the country. Beautiful and excellent value - loved it.
- Paul (10/5): - Lovely clean, comfy bed, beautiful surroundings
- Roxanna (10/5): - Beautiful gardens, very quiet area, comfortable beds, had everything we needed. We will definitely be back.
- Peter (8/5): - Accom is probably best described as motel style, but with nicer finishes. The grounds were well kept, parking was ample and the rooms were very comfortable!
- Jenny (10/5): - Excellent property. This is the perfect hotel for a weekend getaway Front desk staff is extremely efficient, pleasant and helpful. Property is clean and has a fantastic old time charm.
- Marie (8/5): Very Serene - We stayed for a couple of nights as we had a concert in Coldstream. There was plenty of room and it was very comfy. We particularly liked the larger fridge compared to the usual bar fridge. Couple of minor disappointments. The freezer in the fridge was not working properly and we do prefer mugs rather than little cups. I’m sure we could have had help with these but we were restricted for time. The surrounding gardens were magnificent. The mornings were quiet and full of bird songs. Very serene.
- Gaurav (10/5): - We had a great stay and staff were very friendly and helpful
- Rebecca (10/5): - Very much enjoyed my stay over 2 nights. For a standard room, it was massive, massive bed and massive bathroom. Very clean and modern. Bed was comfy. Surroundings were super quiet and peaceful, I enjoyed a few walks around the area. I cant comment on staff as it was all contactless but, instructions etc were clear. Will definitely stay again.
- Harry (8/5): - Natural bush outlook
- Sue (8/5): - Stayed here before many years ago, comfy bed and easy to arrange late check in etc.
- Michael (10/5): - Lovely big rooms and beds.
- Jessica (10/5): - Lovely stay!
- Ray (10/5): - The gardens were beautiful to look at and walk around. The room was well presented, the bed was enormous, not something my wife or I had expected in the deluxe room. If you want a quiet night make sure that you check and close the window, otherwise you’ll hear the sounds of frogs and other night creatures all night.
- Kira (10/5): - LOVED the generous bed size and the beautiful location. Wish there was a bit more light around the paths when checking in/walking around at night.
- Daryl (10/5): - Such a peaceful setting
- Sue (10/5): - No traffic noise or pollution, quiet &relaxing atmosphere, spacious gardens, just beautiful
- Josephine (8/5): - My partner and I stayed for the night because we were going to Rochford Winery for a concert and this was the closest accommodation that we could find at a reasonable price in the area. The staff were friendly, the bed was large and comfortable and the room was also a very good size. I would stay here again.
- Jenny (10/5): - The rooms are huge,clean
- Susan (8/5): - The rooms & bed sizes were very good. It was very quiet.
- shanyn (10/5): - Amazing customer service. Really accomodating for check out time. Huge room; enormous bed which was super comfy! Beautiful location!
- Aniruddha (8/5): - Nice open spaces.
- Megan (10/5): - Clean and comfortable.
- DANIELLA (10/5): - It was tranquil and inviitng
- Jairaj (8/5): - The rooms were clean and spacious. Only wished they had left the wifi password as the reception was closed due to the holiday season.
- David (10/5): - Very tranquil Nice big room
- Ingrid (10/5): - Great place to stay. Very easy check in with friendly receptionist. No issues at all. Room was very clean, roomy and comfortable.
- Maree (8/5): - Very quiet and peaceful. Large room. Disappointed that we were not informed the pool was being renovated and would be out of action.
- Amanda (8/5): - The property was in a lovely bushland setting and very private. Beautiful room and very good value, staff let us checkout late on request. Only issue was the restaurant hasn't reopened so need to drive to a local restaurant or get uber eats.
- Josephine (8/5): - It was a lovely place to stay but the parking was a bit awkward. We were lucky we were the only ones there. Also finding the entrance was a bit tricky
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Smart Clean Corporate Style facilities in the Deluxe accomodation area . Very Good Value for the Price
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Foothills is a beautiful, peaceful, bush setting to help you relax. Staff were very helpful; rooms well equipped (we asked a microwave which was placed in the room before we arrived).
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We stayed in a standard room. The room was large and spacious with a super king size bed. Clean and tidy with all the usual facilities. Great value for money. We planned to arrive outside of office hours so we organised for a late checkin which management made very easy. The accommodation is located on large grounds and is very quiet and peaceful. Would definitely stay there again.
- kim (10/5): Room with an amazing view - What a fantastic find. Gorgeous facility. Huge room (executive room). Shower was AMAZING. Comfortable living area. Good supply of milk, coffee and tea. My only feedback would be to put a curtain in the bedroom as the roller blind let in light from the outside courtyard and lit up the room. Will definitely return again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great room, big bed large room and great shower!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - all good
- Verified traveler (8/5): - not the easiest to find
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Quiet area. Clean rooms. Comfortable beds.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Rooms are spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Only recommendation would be to have meals available to ALL guests not just those who are part of a conference. We would stay here again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Beautiful bush land ,clean facility’s Only one problem the spilt system turning on after switching off with remote ?
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Lots of rooms, place was huge, bed was so comfy. Could have had bottled water or provided some snacks or continental breakfast as you have to drive to local shops. Room was really clean had late check in so didn’t see any staff but info was provided for easy check in.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - We weren’t told that the gate would be locked at night .
- Verified traveler (10/5): - ...................................................
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean amenities, quiet area with comfortable beds.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The bush lands surrounding the property was beautiful. The shower pressure was fantastic as was the comfort of the bed and linen. The executive suite we stayed in was huge. Only downside was there was nowhere open on the premises to get food and not really safe walking distance (there’s a big hill and very dark at night) to neighbouring venues. Very happy with our stay overall however!
- KP (10/5): - Could not be happier with our stay at Foothills. We had a group of six rooms which were all conveniently placed together. The beds are HUGE and amazingly comfortable.. showers had great pressure... check in was fast and staff were super helpful despite being a busy sold out weekend. There is a pool!! Which the website doesn’t mention. Fabulous spot!!!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location a room facilities were great. Check in was simple.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good value stay, the room was good the bed even better. Staff were very polite very happy all round.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - very good value for money with comfortable large beds.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful setting, lovely room, good price. Would definitely recommend to others and stay again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean and spacious.. nice surroundings Quiet and peaceful
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Unfortunately our stay was severely impacted by a power out. We initially booked the Hotel for its proximity to our film shoot, this was placed in jeopardy simply due to our room not having any power and the reception not being manned until 9am by which time we had already checked out. We did find out that the reception area still had ppwer but none of the rooms which was of no help to us.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The bed is fantastic size huge and good night sleep
- Lyndall (10/5): Accommodation close to Day on Green - We chose the property as it was within close proximity to Day on the Green. The check-in and check-out process was quick and easy and staff welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable. We would stay here again.
- Murray (10/5): - Room was very clean , well appointed and the bed was extremely comfortable .
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean and tidy, staff excellent. Close to drve to everything.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - View was not great from our room. We looked at the gas hot water services and detracted from the experience. Bed was enormous.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Isolated location. Great if you want to get away from city.
- Roy (10/5): Absolutely Brilliant! - Great room. Spacious with an enormous king size bed. Value for money. Lovely garden setting. Please note that there are no restaurant facilities for casual visitors, so it is necessary to take all food and drink required for the stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Big room! - Lovely spot in a beautiful part of the world!
