A stunning location on a golf course where kangaroos laze about on the green and come so close to your room for grazing at dusk. The breakfast buffet was good - better on the Sunday than the Monday so not sure if there is a different chef. Same items, just cooked better on the Sunday. Our ground floor room was a good size with sliding doors to a very small patio that led straight on to the grass (it was a rainy weekend so we had to be careful we didn't bring mud into the room).

I would have liked a door mat outside the patio doors to wipe my feet on rather than bringing dirt into the room.

Lovely stay. The view from our room looking over the golf course was absolutely stunning. The weather was fantastic over the weekend, which made it even better. Loved watching the kangaroos lazing in the sun. Room was very clean and comfortable. Staff were very helpful even coming up to the room to help connect to the TV when we had a minor issue. Breakfast had a great variety, Staff were very friendly at reception. Definitely coming back again. A very relaxing atmosphere, didn't want to leave.

Only issue we had with the room was that the heating wasn't the best Coffee machine at breakfast, that you help yourself too was extremely busy so missed out. Maybe a few Coffee pots would be handy in that situation.

Our second time staying here. Has definitely improved. Spacious room. Nice view. Clean everywhere. Can cast on tv. Staff are nice. Breakfast was very good. Nice to see kangaroos chillin on the golf course. Overall, happy with our stay. Would recommend.

The bed is soft and comfortable, pillows are nice too. Only thing that could be better, seems like it's two single beds that are joined together to make a bigger bed, so we can feel the space on the middle of the bed. We had to avoid lying down at the centre. Maybe if there's another padding/layer that can be added to prevent that, would be better.

The pics do not do this property justice…The grounds on the drive in to the lodge are incredible. Theres a beautiful golf course, gardens and kangaroos everywhere! The grandeur main reception area and welcoming staff was a great start to our stay. The rooms are modern, stylish, warm, clean, comfortable and oversized. The onsite bistro was a great place to grab a drink before heading to dine in the restaurant, where the food and service was impeccable. It’s a great and centralized location to see and do all of the surrounding tourist stops of the Yarra Valley. We enjoyed our stay immensely and will definitely be back. Thank you.

Lovely Country Lodge. Very quiet - felt like there were only a few guests until we went for breakfast. We were upgraded from Lodge view to Garden view (not sure the difference). Large room with lounge area and large full size bathroom. So many kangaroos call this place home, which was lovely, but also be aware driving at dusk and at night.

I hadn't realised we had breakfast included with our booking. Check-in staff didn't tell us (only general meal options) so we missed out first morning. Second morning (Sunday) there were not enough breakfast staff or tables from 9-10am when we went (yes, the hotel info said it would be busy then). Needs ushered seating for breakfast so tables are cleared and reset. Option for room service breakfast would be nice and would free up dining space. Map with walking trails and signposts would be a nice addition- the path across the road simply says only golfers can enter.

Lovely room, very comfortable. Good breakfast in the morning. Surrounding area around was pleasant for a walk and wallaby spotting.

I would have given a higher rating if the chap behind the bar hadn’t been so determined to get us out of the bar area. Complaining his girlfriend would be asking where he was at this time of night. We had been sitting having an evening drink watching the tennis. It was only 10pm! Staff in the morning were lovely but you have to pay for lattes? There is a Nespresso coffee machine which is free.

The friendliness of the staff was exemplary. Melissa at check in and Tracy ( I think) at check out were so warm and friendly. The staff member who dealt with us ( always wore a white shirt) at the lodge bistro on Friday and at two breakfast was outstanding. His manner with us and other patrons was beyond reproach. Cleaning staff we ran into said hello. Breakfast was superb. The best scarmbled eggs bacon and sausages. Cereal variety was fantastic. The Bircher muesli with the sago was out of this world.

1. The tap was too close to the edge of the sink in the bathroom. It drove me crazy. 2. The tables at breakfast could have been wiped more often. On two mornings the tables were not wiped down after previous use.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here very much. This hotel is right in the heart of the Yarra Valley so easy access to all the wineries and activities in the area. Pretty easy to find, located across the street from a huge golf course, plenty of parking on site (even if the garage is full there is plenty of open air parking adjacent to the hotel). Very clean, spacious, comfy, and the patio doors open right up into the grounds. The best thing about the hotel is the kangaroos and wallabies that roam free there. They’re adorable and you might wake up to them right outside your door. The bar restaurant had great food and cocktails, I don’t normally opt for hotel food but we arrived kinda late to go out and hungry, but we didn’t regret eating there at all. Had a genuinely good stay here!

Nitpicking but a safe and maybe some bathrobes would have put this place over the top.

Love the location - so peaceful! All Staff - Especially Ella, Jess and Simara, were exceptional! Carmen (or Carmil, not wearing a name tag) and Tracy were also very helpful and obliging! 🙂 Reception - Attentative, friendly and helpful. Rooms - Comfortable and mostly clean. However, bathrooms need to be refreshed, especially the tiled floor! Re-grouting would make a huge difference!!! Towels need to be upgraded (renewed), as some were stained and rough! Room service, although limited hours, was reasonable. Bar service by Ella and Jess was memorable and most enjoyable, thank you! Breakfast - Love that buffet breakfast is included in the accommodation price! However, it could be improved vastly improved by providing a larger variety of vegetation/vegan options. 😉 Barista-made coffee, in my opinion, should also be included, without being an extra cost! A walk along the grounds is always a bonus, especially observing the kangaroos on the property. 🙂

Bathroom floors - NEED to be re-grouted, as the look grotty! Towels need to be upgraded (renewed), as some were stained and they were also very dry and scratchy. New, soft towels would be much appreciated!!!

Staff and service was friendly and helpful, grounds were beautiful, we appreciated the grazing Kangaroos and diverse birdlife. Our room was well equipped and very comfortable. Bar service and food was good although busy at times.

Bella Restaurant breakfast was great. However, difficult to get in for dinner, so options were bar food or to drive 7 - 10 km away to a vineyard or local restaurant. Also, The Bella's fixed price 4 course menu was not what we wanted, would like to see A La Carte option.
