Hotel berhampiran Elmswood Estate Winery, Seville

Our stay was OK in as much as the bed and bathroom were acceptable for the price. - when the price is $125 or so. The trick is while they advertise $125 a night, Friday and Saturday night the prices goes off the scale. So read your proposal, even if you're in a rush. There are lot better rooms around at around $200 or more. We stayed 4 nights and extended another - a Saturday. (Family matters nearby). The gentleman said $120 for the extra night but when I got my statement it was $189! It was then I realised I was charged that for Friday too. Re-educated in touch and go and not bothering with the receipt. Sure these prices are not exorbitant in this day an age - for a reasonable establishment. While in the room the basics were reasonable, the room had a toaster and microwave but no bread plates or cutlery, only small bowls. Asked at reception and was give some disposable cutlery and pasta bowls . Great for toast! Apparently people keep stealing them or breaking them. So charge them and have something reasonable for reasonable people! The door didn't latch either without a heft with your shoulder and then caught only by millimetres. The chain was on and the chairs in place, don't worry. The room was only serviced once during our stay after we asked. The garbage truck came at 4.00Am or so and emptied multiple skips just nearby (on the premises) with all the beeping and backing, hydraulic whining, and diesel roaring you'd probably accept at $120 odd dollars a night, but really? My partner was ready to walk in the first five minutes with her usual abuse of my miserliness. As you might have guessed, the pricing issue is what really gets up nose. The rest you probably expect and accept for a cheaper deal. But next time we're near Lilydale we may well pay $189 but we'll be looking for $189 value.

We stayed in the luxury safari tent for (2) nights and had a wonderful time. Even in the midst of Winter the tent was very warm. With a nice, comfortable bed, great pillows, sizeable room and a view across the vineyards, it was fantastic. The I have to add, the wine tasting experience was fantastic. When we stayed last year the experience was awful, chaotic and unappealing. Balgownie have done a complete 180 here and now it’s a highlight! Good on you for recognising the deficiency, remedying it and delivering a great product. It was truly the highlight for us.

Lovely quiet spot only about 5kms from Chirnside park shopping centre. Room was generously sized with lovely views over the golf course and the local roos popping past for their morning constitutional. Bed was really comfortable. It is time for the rooms to be updated though they are looking tired. Steak in the bar was great and breakfast had lots of options. Staff were friendly and helpful. Hot tips: check before arrival if restaurants are open and ask for a room on 3rd floor overlooking the golf course.

We were guests at a wedding in a nearby winery and stayed here one night. We were pleased with our choice. The room was a little worn, but room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. Despite being close to the highway, the room was very quiet (I have excellent hearing!). The bed was super comfy and the linens good quality. We slept very well. Wifi worked well. Keep up the good work, Yarra Valley Motel!

My husband and I stayed at Clarendon Cottages for a weekend in late November, and I can honestly say it was a wonderful experience. We stayed in the Camelia Cottage and absolutely loved it. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into the interior design of the cottage to make it a cozy, welcoming place. And just the attention to detail to make your stay that little bit better was very welcome! Everything from an umbrella bucket (with an umbrella) by the door (It rained a lot during our stay), to a well stocked fruit bowl. Blankets for the arm chairs, a very comfy bed and bedding, excellent breakfast options. We could not fault the place and will definitely consider returning in the future.

The room was clean and well stocked with amenities and necessities such as plates and glasses. The garden area behind the room was serene and had a nice view of the sunset in the evening. The gentleman who received us, Mr Ralph, was warm and friendly, too.

From entering the park reception to our cabin, was brilliant, customer service was amazing with huge smiles from everyone, our room was amazingly clean and perfect for us. Spending NYE in our little getaway was sensational, having so many families with little ones and everyone is so friendly, our little one loved it, there where so many facilities to use for all ages. The food truck and kombi keg where the cherry on top. We are definetly going to make this our tradition for NYE every year
