Sage Melbourne Ringwood

10/10 Excellent

"Very pleasantly surprised. Room was very clean, large and well maintained. Across the road from the train station. Thanks."

Balgownie Estate Yarra Valley

8/10 Good

"Beautiful new facilities Dining options limited to 2 course or 3 course package but we drove to the pub at Yarra Glen (10 mins) and had a great feed at pub prices Beautiful views at Breakfast We were unfortunately the only other guests that were not part of a 100+ delegate conference so we did get woken up when they were returning to their rooms after a few sherbets late at night Beautiful part of the country"

Wild Cattle Creek Estate

8/10 Good

"Pros: Big cottage. Scenic location. Bacon, eggs, milk, juice, butter, tomatoes and bread provided for breakfast. Nice toiletries. Frogs in the pond sounded cool. Rabbits everywhere. Cons: Emailed property to say we'll arrive around 4pm. No reply. We arrive at 4:15pm to find reception closed and a mobile number. Called and about 5 mins later are sent a road map (?) and where to find the key. Wi-fi had full bars, but was "connected without internet". No reply when I reached out. Road is quite noisy."

Melbourne Knox Central Apartment Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall the facilities and accommodation were excellent. Communication with reception was not. Took a while to be let in and instructions for parking etc was quite vague.After booking in we discovered we weren't given the internet voucher and only had 2 towels for 3 of us. When I rang them I was told they ran out of towels for that day and would give us one tomorrow. This never happened so we had to buy one. Internet was fixed within 20 minutes. Although this happened I would recommend this place as it was comfortable and had everything you needed. It was close to shops and the indoor pool was great. The price was very reasonable for the inclusions. I would stay there again!!"
