A very relaxing and comfortable stay in a beautiful environment.
Pros:

The size of the room was very good. The bed was enormous and comfortable. The facilities were basic but enough to suit our 2 -3 day stay.

Cons:

A microwave would have been useful for BYO meals.

Close to the Yarra Valley
Pros:

We stayed here to attend a wedding in the Yarra Valley nearby. The hotel room was quiet with possibly the biggest bed I've ever slept in in a hotel anywhere in the world. There is a large indoor pool and gym although we didn't get to use it. The grounds are lovely.

Beautiful natural environment for a relaxing stay
Pros:

It’s quiet yet close to the places we were visiting. There’s a lot of natural beauty; feels like a campground because it is a large property.

Cons:

We got the impression that the bar would be open; hours are in the guest book in the room. It would be helpful because otherwise you need to drive to eat/drink or get delivery. It’s not on the main road so not easy to find. There’s no microwave in the room which would be helpful
with leftovers from delivery and take out. Both our room and friend’s room had the same bedside lamp not working; front desk bumped replacement to next day which is not helpful for an overnight stay.
