Not Happy
Pros:

Very comfortable bed

Cons:

Everything else I paid $329 for the room which looked good in the pictures but they say the have a restaurant and food nope that's closed.
Flat screen TV built in the 90's and is the size of a postage stamp with no Google or casting options which wouldn't matter anyway because there's no WIFI and it's cold at night in the Macedon Ranges but that's ok because the gas heater doesn't work due to a plumbing issue so instead they had 3 electric heaters running flat out and keeping you up all night.
If you think you going to a beautiful resort spa for the night your not its old out dated and needs a serious upgrade to justify the prices there charging.

Pros:

Cons:

The heater was broken so we had to use a small portable heater that took a while to heat the room and there was no wifi in the place so I had to use my data the whole visit tv was very small and could barely see it from the bed

We have stayed before and didn’t have these problems but definitely put a dampener on our recent stay.
Pros:

The rooms are lovely and a great size

Cons:

The shower leaked onto the floor so the bath mat was soaked and there was nowhere to stand when getting out of the shower without getting wet.
We were on the ground floor and the people were very noisy above us until about 1am. We heard every footstep and furniture being moved as well as constant talking and laughing.

Pros:

Location was nice

Luv the country feel

Place needs a bit of maintenance
The views are disappearing due to tree growth

Pros:

The view from the spa was amazing, the shower lovely and the staff so accomodating. The room was warm and welcoming with heater and music on. A lovely sachet of bath salts was a nice surprise too

Cons:

I wish they had wifi as it made it hard to work. Hot spotting from my phone wasnt great either as the overall reception wasnt great.
The telly didnt have streaming capabilities.

I would definently stay again for relaxation purposes, but the wifi was too hard to work without.

Really easy to deal with, great room with a great view at a great price.
Pros:

The view, the overall size of the room. The spa bath.

Cons:

Not so much about the property but our room could have used a small couch but I guess layout only allows so much. The single chairs at the coffee table weren’t overly comfy to sit in and enjoy the view.

The location, cleanness and friendly staff are the pluses of this property.
Pros:

Helpful staff, a good size room.

Cons:

We couldn't shower in the room as the hot water was faulty. My wife did have very red hands after trying to deal with the shower head. Having to shower in a separate room was not what we expected after paying so much for the best room in the property. Not having internet was also not great, although I do understand that NBN hasn't go there yet. It definitely didn't feel like good value for money to be honest.

Not bad. Good intentions but ended up being an average night.
Pros:

We like the size of the room and the layout. With the view of the ranges.

Cons:

Bath was dirty and when we put the jets on there were flower pedals coming out of those jets. In the shower there is no cold water. It was only boiling water.

Pros:

The view and the room were great and very clean.

Cons:

Smokers outside my door I had to tell to smoke somewhere else and the shower head was a mess and needed serious attention. Water all over the place.

The best spa room with a lovely view.
Pros:

I love the in room spa, it's so relaxing and the cosy warm room, and the beautiful views. Its very easy to get to with plenty of parking outside your room.

Cons:

Some of the rooms are a little tired from over the years.
