Guest Reviews
- Annie (10/5): A beautiful property - What an exceptional property this is on the main street of Corowa, managed by the wonderful Nelci. The decor is designer led and unique. Our ground-floor room was large, with a huge bathroom and its large bath, (plus a modern shower). There are only a few rooms and it felt like we were house guests. Nelci welcomed us with a drink, and provided helpful information on where we could eat out in the evening. The bed and pillows were super comfortable. The breakfast, served in the shared lounge area was simple (orange juice, fruit granola and a selection of bread/pastries), but beautifully presented and excellent coffee. It would have been easy to stay longer. Nothing - although we found that the dining options in the town were limited on a Tuesday night.
- Terence (9/5): - Nelci went out of her way. She is an excellent host.
- Katherine (9/5): -
- Lyn (8/5): Large room with limited breakfast only - Exceptionally clean, Nellie was lovely host and managed to get us a booking at a popular restaurant at short notice. Decor is lovely. Large bed and bath tub. We stayed in North suite. It advertises as one bed one living room but is not a separate room- the couch and armchair are in front of the bed.
Breakfast service was very slow for only five guests in residence. One person finally asked for toast to go. For $495 per night, breakfast options were too limited. No hot breakfast. Breakfast is served to table. We stayed for two nights. Fresh juice only served once. Option of small glass of granola and yoghurt or fresh fruit plate followed by toast plate. Second morning we had a single slice of toast with avocado and smoked salmon but there was not enough for the other three guests. A self serve option for the fruit, yoghurt and cereal would be better and quicker.
Also, despite advertising as no children there was a baby in the room next door that cried during the night. It did not disturb us much but could have done if it had not settled.
- Peter (10/5): - Our guest experience was second to none!

- Canberra_John (10/5): A grand place to stay, with everything we needed. - The place has a unique style, retaining the 1930s art deco feel throughout but having modern and bright feel. Our room was large and spacious, as was the bathroom. The room looked exactly like the photos.
The owner John and his team made us feel very welcome, and the service was exceptional. We had a tour of the other rooms and suites, and have picked the one for our next stay.

- Rachel (9/5): Exceptionally good with very warm, friendly hosts. -
- John (10/5): Arguably the Finest Hotel in the Corowa / Yarrawonga / Rutherglen region - Beautiful fit out. Amazing attention to detail. Every room is unique. Pure luxury. So many interesting and exciting details all around the property. Beds are very comfortable. Very clean and presented to a very high standard. Run by a husband and wife team that really care about their guests and do everything to make your stay special. They provide a level of care that is not matched by other hotels in the area. Do yourself a favour.
- David (10/5): Beautifully restored old bank in Corowa, a lovely stopping spot about halfway between Melbourne and Canberra. - Beautifully restored old bank in Corowa, a lovely stopping spot mid way (almost) when driving between Melbourne and Canberra. Spacious facilities, comfy lounge/bar area. Very welcoming and helpful host. 10/10 in every aspect. Absolutely nothing to fault; it was exceptional.
- Jan-maarten (9/5): Roomy, pleasant and comfortable. - Our reception upon arrival was very welcoming. Any questions we had about our stay were promptly answered. Local knowledge was extensive and generously given. Breakfast was very tasty and attention to detail delightful.
- Henni (10/5): comfort - perfect N/A
- Tony (10/5): Exceeded all expectations. - From the moment we arrived to the time we left, we were made to feel very welcome and very at ease with the stay. Our room was upgraded which was a lovely surprise the main upstairs room certainly didn't disappoint! Bed was super comfy, rainfall shower head, huge bath, welcome drinks & nightcap aperitifs....wonderful! Not their fault, but council collects the bottles early Wed mornings which was a bit of a rude shock, but we soon fell back to sleep.
- Kerry (10/5): Amazing property with gorgeous rooms and amazing hospitality. Will definitely be back -
- John (10/5): Wonderful - Beautiful, full of history, the old bank.
And Jen looked after us so well.
- Taryn (10/5): If you are looking for a private getaway for two, do not hesitate in booking this boutique hotel. - This property exceeded all of our expectations. The hosts were lovely and accommodating with great local knowledge which assists in your visit. The property is opulent and chic with it's decor. The attention to details like fresh roses in bud vases, the evening night cap and even the face mask and bath bombs took this stay to the next level. Nothing everything was amazing.
- Fiona (10/5): Exceptional -
- Corey (10/5): Amazing stay with exceptional hosts! - The property and room were beautiful!
- Emily (10/5): Amazing hosts! -
- Damian (10/5): Exceptional - The place is immaculate. Well furnished and a lovely art deco feel, not over the top. The rooms are large and well appointed and comfortable.
Owners take real pride in their hotel and are there to help. (No passcodes to get into the property yourself and bad luck if something is needed!) They are there at check in and breakfast. Very attentive.
Bonus was a welcome drink with local gin and an excellent coffee in the morning.
They even phoned me 30 min after checking out as I left something behind.

- Thea (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tamara (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alexandra (10/5): A beautiful, historic, classy and romantic location for a getaway - A beautiful boutique experience in the heart of the Rutherglen region. The staff were amazing and we even discovered a shared heritage with the manager. Every decor touch is thoughtfully placed, and the spaces feel luxurious yet inviting. We had issues with the hot water in one room and were upgraded to a better room without questions - a stunning romantic experience which we are sure to revisit again and again. The included breakfast is delicious, and the cocktails were very, very tasty! Nothing - everything was spectacular!
- Robin (9/5): Delightfully welcoming, luxurious art deco hotel, a real find in a charming town. - A truly wonderful sanctuary in rural NSW, beautiful Art Deco conversion of 1930s bank building to a comfortable and quirky hotel with huge rooms, big baths, and a most welcoming manager/couple. Carefully presented breakfast of fresh fruits etc caps off a lovely stay. Couldn't recommend more highly. No complaints at all.
- Ronald (10/5): From our arrival at Circa both John and Jen made our stay totally enjoyable. - The atmosphere was outstanding- spotlessly clean - super comfortable bed - stayed for 2 nights and will definitely be back . Everything was outstanding.
- Jeffrey (10/5): A wonderful find in the Rutherglen region- we have no hesitation in recommending Circa 1936 . - Jen was an exceptional host - helpful and friendly , ready to share her knowledge of the local area and surrounds. This charming boutique hotel has been carefully renovated and thoughtfully furnished in the Art Deco style. The welcome drink ,complimentary minibar and nightcap of muscat were a nice treat.We stayed in the South suite which included a bath . Each item on the continental breakfast menu was of a high quality. Other than the absence of a full length mirror in the South suite, the attention to detail to ensure a comfortable stay was impeccable.

The room was wonderful, Corowa itself is a very picturesque spot on the Murray, would recommend to anyone passing through that way.
- Clare (10/5): Just the place to go if you’re looking for luxury, and a yummy drink 🍸 - The hosts were absolutely wonderful! Very accommodating and made sure we felt comfortable for our whole stay. They drove us to Rutherglen (and home!) for dinner. Such great hosts ☺️

The coffee was high end also. N/A
