Australia: hotel con spa nella provincia di Victoria

We had a lovely stay at Balgownie Estate. The room was spacious, very clean, and comfortable, with a relaxing balcony that offered a beautiful view of the stars at night. It really added a special touch to the stay. The breakfast buffet was generally okay, a decent selection to start the day, though not particularly outstanding. Overall, it’s a peaceful retreat in a great location, perfect for unwinding and enjoying the beauty of the Yarra Valley.

I loved the location — it’s set in a comfortable part of the Docklands with a shopping centre nearby. The room and bed were very good, providing a comfortable stay. However, my only disappointment was the cleanliness: many surfaces, including the cups, had fingerprints and grease marks, which suggested a lack of proper cleaning. I ended up cleaning them myself. That said, the staff were excellent — especially at the front desk, where they were professional, welcoming, and very helpful.

Room was really spacious and kitchen came with basic seasoning namely salt and pepper. There were tons of cockatoos on the porch in the morning so it can be a bit noisy but most people would usually be up by then so it should be fine.

Ottimo alloggio a terrazza!! Seduto nella bella zona Olinda, i caffè e i ristoranti sono proprio intorno all'angolo. Una tale esperienza di guarigione qui con un ambiente tranquillo di aria fresca e alberi.

Il nostro soggiorno è stato fantastico presso la Collezione MGallery di Hotel Chadstone Melbourne. La stanza era ben stilizzata, pulita e molto confortevole per rilassarsi dopo un giorno di lavoro, tutto era ben preparato e di alta qualità. L'accento assoluto del nostro soggiorno era la piscina. Era stupenda, con vista incredibile e un'atmosfera tranquilla e lussuosa. Era il luogo perfetto per rilassarsi e godere di un po' di tempo tranquillo. La posizione dell'hotel era anche ideale, vicino al centro commerciale Chadstone, che rendeva tutto così conveniente. In generale, una vera 5-star esperienza. Ritorneremo certamente e consigliamo fortemente questo hotel a chiunque visiti Melbourne!

Main building is lovely and cosy with its open fires on a winter's evening, although it's a shame that the bar closed around 9pm and the main building by 10pm, so I had to go and sit in my room, which was in an outside block and quite cold, especilally because there was quite a gap at the bottom of the main door. The rooms are comfortable with lovely decor. I used the spa the next morning, which was small but relaxing. It would be great to be able to get a discount as a guest at the hotel.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great location and helpful staff The hotel is really well located for the town and local attractions, including the many beautiful waterfalls in the area. We stayed in a one-bedroom apartment on the ground floor — it was clean and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen and convenient onsite parking. The only downside was that it felt a bit like a goldfish bowl, as there were no sheer curtains on the windows and people walking by could easily see in. The bathroom was fine, though the bath was a little tired. The lounge was lovely, especially during happy hour, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Overall, a pleasant and convenient place to stay in Lorne.

L'hotel era un ultimo minuto di prenotazione e le recensioni mi hanno fatto rimanere qui piuttosto che un altro hotel. L'hotel è in una buona posizione e una bella zona. Camere pulite e spaziose e buona qualità dello shampoo e lavanderia corporea. Avremmo voluto usare le fonti calde e presumere che fossero parte delle strutture dell'hotel, ma devono essere prenotati in anticipo, che è deludente. In generale, consiglierei questo hotel ma fare in modo che le fonti calde siano prenotate.

I have stayed here before and have found all to be excellent.  The proximity to my 90 year old Mums nursing home being the drawcard.  This time however, on one of the days we stayed, we were not able to shower as there was a leaky pipe, and the water was turned off so they could fix it.  Not their fault, but as we only stayed 3 days and were out early every morning (old ladies have zero tolerance for being late) we found it disappointing and so marked it down from ‘excellent’ to ‘good.’

Totally love it, will come back again next year and bring my family 😁. Last minute book and got this room, so lovely and comfy🥰🥰🥰 Walking distance from the V/line Bus stop (Mansfield to Melbourne) is 10-12mins by foot.
