Lijkt van de buitenkant heel wat, maar biedt niet wat het verspreekt.
Pros:

De ligging.

Cons:

Ontbijt was heel slecht. Zelf ontbijt klaarmaken; brood, jam en frisdrank. Ontbijt klaarmaken op je bed omdat er nauwelijks sprake is van een keukentje. Alleen een magnetron en waterkoker. Afwas moest je doende in de wasbak in de badcel. Kleine kamer, geen tafel om aan te ontbijten. We betaalden voor kamer met ontbijt en kregen twee boterhammen pp. per dag.

Pros:

Apart from the great accommodation and adequate breakfast provisions the manager was amazing. I accidently did some significant damage (broken window) and she was so understanding. We agreed a $ for compensation and everyone was happy :-)

This lovely stone mill inn is the perfect setting for a Dandenong stay
Pros:

The Loft in the Mill is a lovely spot to stay in Dandenong housed in a atmospheric old stone mill. The King Arthur room has its own outdoor seating area and is decorated to fully reference its namesake. Check-in and parking were very convenient, and I was pleased we'd chosen this village and this inn as our base in the area: it is off the high street so away from foot traffic, but only a stone's throw from shops and restaurants.

Cons:

You don't come to the Loft in the Mill for the breakfast, but great alternatives are close at hand.
