• Randall (8/5): We were very happy with the choice of staying there - Excellent and all included Signage for the place was obscure
• Marie-Claire (10/5): Loved the place, and the hosts - Friendly, helpful hosts. Lots of spaces to enjoy including nice pool area, use of full kitchen, door to common area and directly to outside. Above all, hosts were so friendly and helpful. Not much not too like about this place. Nice to be out of town, but some people would want to know that it’s a 10 minute drive to town.
• Barker (8/5): -
• Colin (9/5): This is our second visit and we both love the location, Rebecca and Neil are fabulous, welcoming and - Good variety and sufficient. Needs power points at breakfast bar/ cabiney

• Andrew (10/5): The most beautiful place. Well worth a visit. - What a beautiful place set in stunning surroundings. Everything is done just perfectly. The decor is so lovely and gives the place a really warm and welcoming feel. The little touches like fluffy pool towels and comfortable sun lounges made our afternoon dip lovely. The shared space feels very special, nothing is cramped with plenty of space to sit and relax. The breakfast provided in our room was ample with lots of choices. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and wished we had stayed longer. Nothing!
• Torsten (7/5): one night - The room was clean and bed was comfy. There was a very strong perfume/ pot pourri smell when entering the lobby. It was very off putting and caused a headache for my partner.
• Catherine O’Loughlin (10/5): Araluen's spa villa brought us everything we could have wanted for a night away - The spa villa we stayed in was just stunning. Flooded with natural light, the self-contained villa had all the comforts needed for a night away in the Yarra Valley. We maximised our time sitting on the balcony, drinking red wine & enjoying the ambiance of the local surrounds. It was a wonderful experience, & heightened by Rachel, Neil & Izzy who were amazingly accommodating & friendly. All our requests were met with above & beyond outcomes. We were incredibly grateful.
• David (10/5): A great time in the Yarra Valley. - Rachel was an outstanding host and greatly assisted us getting a dinner booking where we weren’t able to.

• Jo (9/5): Excellent accomodation- I would highly recommend this place for a group booking or a couples weekend away. - Beautiful accomodation, we loved it. Rachel went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable throughout our stay. We will be back! Some works were happening at the property but they let us know before we arrived what to expect and did their best to ensure the property was tidy and safe.
• Kathie (10/5): - The lodge rooms are beautiful and the property is peaceful and surrounded by nature with lots of wildlife. Everything was spotless and very well maintained.

Loved staying there and would highly recommend this place to anyone. We will be back!

• Hide (8/5): Great spot which could be fantastic with a bit more effort. A little too expensive for what you get. - Great place & location. Very clean, with a nice terrace and BBQ.

• Nichola (10/5): Everything you need for a short stay and more. - We stayed in the Deluxe garden villa, for two nights to attend a wedding. The room was beautifully styled and the owners had really thought about catering to all needs. In the one room was a kitchenette, lounge and smart TV, king bed with electric blanket, then a generous sized ensuite with spa bath. The property is on tank water as most rural properties are.so a water fountain was provided. The accommodation offers a continental breakfast, so when you arrive there is bread, cereals, butter, jam, yogurt etc waiting. The gardens are beautiful and you have your own entrance. Definitely would stay there again. Nothing
