The room selected was perfect for our stay in the Yarra Valley. Eveything was spotless, clean with everything available at your fingertips. Staff very courteous and helpful. The breakfast buffet was well stocked with a selection to answer your needs. There was a weekend portion to our stay and the place was swarming with people, a good sign of the quality offered. The wine tasting at the cellar door was enjoyable and gave us the opportunity to sample many of the wines produced on site. Their estate series has some excellent wines that I would recommend. We had dinner at their restaurant and the meal was excellent. Overall, a very enjoyable time in a region that has a lot to offer for everyone.

Had trouble with accessing our room a few times. Need to walk back and forth from the reception. It is quite a distant too. The room is spacious, bathroom is nice but the shower is not practical. Dinner was ok.. the food is not as good as it used to be a few years back. The swimming was under reno and we were not made aware of that.

Hotel’s at a pretty location. Room was pretty clean and in good condition. Staff was not so friendly unfortunately when ask to book the restaurant for dinner, she asked me to check with the restaurant directly. No preference for hotel guests for wine tasting, you have to book in advance. The gym was quite run down that the pool was under maintenance and the trackmill was out of order.

Lovely room with garden view. Comfortable bed, modern bathroom and luxury toiletries. Breakfast was very good and dinner in the restaurant delicious. However choice was limited to a grazing or set menu. Those having the grazing menu were asked to sit in a separate area, on their own, although the restaurant was half empty, which felt a bit unwelcoming.
