Sense of history. Location is perfect for cruising around the wineries and despite being on the main road, wasn't as noisy as expected. Staff were attentive, enthusiastic and helpful. Good selection of most local wines. The young barman had a reasonable knowledge of them. The guy at checkout listened with what appeared to be genuine interest when I responded to his question about how our stay was and took notes. A variety of spaces, including private hideaways away from the main bars. A couple of working, wood fireplaces, as opposed to gas. Always more memorable. We had the good old reliable parmie and a prawn linguine for dinner. Very nice. However the oysters Kilpatrick were under cooked, luke warm. Edible but not memorable. Couldn't be bothered sending them back but the morning manager did apologise and said I should have. Breakfast, including local yoghurt (I presume) and 2 varieties of compote, rhubarb and mixed berries, were lovely.

Ran out of hot water. Back on though, after dinner. Understandable however, for an heritage building. Bar fridge very noisy, had to turn it off to sleep. The worst bed we'd slept on in a long time. In a word, shocking. I would've rated it higher, if not for the bed. Had a sore back for a day afterwards. In hindsight, it would have been better sleeping on the floor. Most hotels in my experience get away with average beds because they get hard ones, which also last longer. This mattress could've been from 1888, soft and lumpy, the kind you roll into the middle of.LOL. Only one tiny bin in the bathroom. Wasn't expecting to be woken at 7 by the vacuum cleaner down stairs, although I was glad to get out of the bed. There was no sign indicating the entrance of the off street parking visable from the road.

Warm comfortable room Fluffy towels. Complementary wine friendly staff Excellent restaurant.

Warm and Cosy welcome.

It had a private outdoor swimming pool! if only we’d known, we would have brought our bathers. It also has a wood fire, which would be great for colder times. Quality coffee bags and lovely shortbread biscuits. We were also given a complimentary breakfast, which we did not expect.

Checking in was problematic. The rooms were not ready at 2 pm so we had to wait 15 minutes. This was the only issue - everything else was great.

Excellent value for money, beautiful old building

The location

Tired and needed some refurbishment

Food was nice

There was mould on the tiles in the shower and it was extremely expensive for what it was, you also had to plug the jug in to a power point on the floor

Old stylish hotel

Location in the centre of the Yarra Valley
