Great stay for a friends wedding
Pros:

Customer service. The guy on the desk I forget his name but he works there as a casual staff member was brilliant so lovely as was the guy managing the restaurant on Saturday.

Cons:

Last time I stayed we did the spa, my thoughts still remain on that, but it is ran by a seperate company. So nothing about the hotel stay.

Not bad, not terrible
Pros:

The staff were absolutely delightful. Cannot fault any of the customer service we've received. The Bella restaurant and room service dining were great! Highly recommend the food.

Cons:

The rooms are totally outdated. For $300 a night, I would not return. There were minimal lights in the room (lamps only), no crockery and the shower was tiny 😕 No table for outside seating and the TV didn't have Netflix/apps, which isn't a deal breaker. The walking path is quite short and hard to navigate with the golf course. For $300.00 a night I just expected more. Would opt for a competitor hotel if just staying over night 😅

Take advantage of this wonderful place for a weekend away!
Pros:

Very comfortable bed, great restaurant with excellent food and well priced, buffet breakfast is fantastic. Handy parking under lodge, beautiful grounds surrounding, lovely for a walk--lots of kangaroos hanging around, and birds, so nice for tourists. Staff all very helpful. Great base to explore Yarra Valley.
