Great place to stay, great value on the edge of the Yarra Valley
Pros:

The grounds are large and quiet with plenty of on-site parking. The setting is really nice, and a great place to unwind after a day exploring the wineries and distilleries in the Yarra Valley.

The rooms are large and very clean. There are armchairs to watch TV, so no uncomfortable neck straining from the bed.

Speaking of the bed: it's enormous. Three sets of pillows too. I guess I would recommend it for thruples wanting a getaway?

Cons:

Despite the size of the bed, it was very hard. You can't please everyone and some people like a hard bed. I do not.

The interior I couldn't fault
Pros:

Bed was very comfy. Interior was nice and clean

Cons:

The broken chairs on the verandah. Most were broken and not in good shape. I wouldn't trust sitting on them. They made the accommodation look cheap and nasty. It may be better to just get rid of the broken chairs, asthetic wise. When exploring the property, I noticed other accommodation in other areas had much tidier looking exteriors with no broken furniture and much better quality. It made my stay a little upsetting, because I still paid good money
