Balgownie Estate Yarra Valley is a lovely place to stay, surrounded by a beautiful vineyard. There’s a walking path that leads up to a scenic viewpoint, offering a stunning view of the vineyard, and you can even see cows up close if you are lucky.
The room was cozy and comfortable, making for a relaxing stay. However, the air conditioning unit was a bit of a downside—it was blowing out dust and positioned right above the bed, which wasn’t ideal. A little more maintenance on that would improve the experience. The hotel eventually helped us to change to a new room which did not have any problem.
Overall, it’s a great place for a peaceful getaway in the Yarra Valley, with gorgeous scenery and a tranquil atmosphere.
Excellent resort style accommodation within reasonable price. Location is a bit away from city center but beautiful setting In botanical garden.
Front staff are very friendly and polite.
Breakfast was nice and interesting including fried rice, egg soup… mixed western and Chinese breakfast.
We definitely recommend this accommodation.
Very bad experience, we have been forced to pay extra for my son to stay and changed to a room that is totally different to what we have booked. We have rang the hotel and confirmed the room we booked can accomodate for 2 adult and one chd with no extra cost as long as we are happy that there will only be one king bed. But the night before check in, everything was changed. We were told we have to pay extra $100 for my son to stay and at check in on the day, we hace forced to change to another room which is totally different to what I booked originally. All they said ia apologise for any inconvenience. Both Trip.com and the hotel did not take any responsibility for this matter. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
The hotel was a last minute booking and the reviews made me stay here rather than another hotel. The hotel is in a good location and a nice area. Clean and spacious rooms and nice quality shampoo and body wash. We would have liked to use the hot springs and assumed they were part of the hotel amenities, but they need to be booked in advance which was disappointing. Generally I would recommend this hotel but make sure to book the hot springs.
Received self check in instructions via email, but there was no key in the check in box when we arrived. Tried to call all the numbers listed but no one picked up!!! We went for dinner to attempt check in again and luckily bumped into the owner and managed to check in.
Owner explained that they were in a transition phase from the previous owner hence they weren’t aware of our booking… quite a bad experience for me, hope it improves for others.
Apartment was in a convenient location and equipped with necessities but quite old and run down overall.
Lovely spa bath rooms. My daughter (toddler) loves this place as a little getaway. Great service, great staff, good options for room service menus. This place is always a go to!!!

Ok so they need to put photos of the type of room you will get. Not just photos of the largest room in the newer section of the hotel. The room was small and dated . The bathroom had a large chunk of paint peeling off the wall from a water leak above and an unsecured toilet seat. The mattress was of cheap quality and way too soft for 2 people.
it knows what it is, basic clean reasonable accommodation in a fantastic location. Not trying to be anything but it’s not.
Old building of course could be done up but of course then all prices would go up equivalently so again and come back to the original point it’s simple basic accommodation that is useful when you need a quick night accommodation.
Instructions were really good getting into the place late at night. The room was immaculately clean even if it was old. Overall would stay there if I needed accommodation for one night. I would suggest a touch expensive for what it is.

Not a 5 star hotel, anymore. Booked for 7nights though I only need 5nights as early check in and late check out aren’t available, but that’s ok, I understand it’s business and I don’t mind it.
HOWEVER,
Aud7 delivery fee required for asking a chopsticks to my room.
Was told by front desk drinking water only free when you check in as a welcome drink. Thankfully
Choices of Breakfast is as of a 3 star hotel if not worst.
Location is not as vibrant as early years of crown, almost dead.
Tablet instructions weren’t working in the beginning. Thankfully it was fixed after complains were made.
Requested housekeeping in the evening and was told it’s not available anymore at this hours.
There’s a food stain on the coffee table when I checked in. Could be easily cleaned, did not complain, it’s still there the day after, it shows how “thorough” this hotel does their house keeping work.
Bottomline, not value for money, not a 5star, won’t be back, not recommended.

GGuest UserWe arrived Melbourne at about 23:00 and will be leaving for a 08:30 flight the next morning. The good thing is the hotel is very close to the airport but it's a bit hard to find the entrance. Hotel room is clean and the front-desk staff is very helpful.
GGuest UserThis is a very nice resort. The interior is very clean and large. Bed is comfortable and toilet is good with jacuzzi. You will see kangaroos and cockatoos outside the cottage in the morning and evening. My kids enjoy the stay very much. However you need to either cook your own meals or drive out to eat. The drive is about 15 mins.
RRoberto_AOverall, the place is fine. The location is good, lots of places to eat nearby. The room was decent and a good space. The shower was a little weird when I turned on the hot water, strange sounds came about and the filling blasting water would suddenly turn into drips. I had to turn the handle further to fix the issue.

Vvan0ffthewallStayed at Ibis Kingsgate for two weeks as I was here to celebrate my birthday. It is my second time staying here; I also came here last year for two weeks and for my birthday!
The hotel is located within a good and safe area - which is great for solo travellers such as myself.
I’ve seen families at this hotel too.
Ibis Kingsgate is within the free tram zone (you can take the 86 or 96), with access to many amenities nearby such as Coles, Woolies, Southern Cross Station (great for when you have to catch the SkyBus), My Chemist, and a range of food and cafe options.
Located at the cross junction of King and Bourke St, the hotel is also walking distance to other popular streets such Elizabeth, Queen, Williams, Colins, Lonsdale, La Trobe, and more! Flinders is nearby too, and you can just cut across to Southbank as well! In fact, you can even walk to Lygon, Docklands or even as far as Collingwood, which I did!
If walking is not your thing, there are also many options for trams, trains, and buses near this hotel.
Room is adequate and clean, with a nice range of television channels. There’s a fridge, kettle and tea/coffee which is occasionally refilled. Bathroom is good too; sufficient and spacious enough, and for some - there’s even a window in the bathroom!
The hotel staff are nice and it’s always great to be back. Thank you for the room upgrade, it made my trip even more special. I returned the gesture by keeping the room as clean and tidy as possible. ;p
Until next time! See ya later!

RRenee VincyI recently stayed here for business trip, and I can’t say enough good things! The location is absolutely great for business. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The rooms were clean and comfortable. I’ll definitely be coming back!

GGuest UserLocation: Can be tricky to find the first time as you need to turn onto Cyril Street. Look across the road for the white building with red writing.
Check-in: easy and fast. The man on reception is friendly and organised, just a lovely receptionist. There is a bond of $200; be organised and you’ll save your time and the receptionist’s time. You can pay the bond in cash.
Parking: great, BUT there are some permanents living there and so you might want to park away from them… you will see immediately where you should not park :) clean parking area. Seemed organised.
Room: very clean, comfortable. There are no knives, forks or plates, but there is a kettle and a microwave. Teas coffees, etc. six milk pods, so maybe bring milk if you need more. Really make sure that you close the door properly or it will seem shut, but not actually be shut and will open :) Good curtains in the room that block out the light from outside. I noticed a fair amount of security cameras outside on the walkway, which was reassuring. Fantastic showers with plenty of hot water and good water pressure. The bed is firm, but I liked it.
Would or wouldn’t stay again? Unfortunately, no, not while they are acting as ‘crisis accommodation’. The staff and room were great, but there are some undesirables living there who kept us awake all night. Not exaggerating when I say, did not sleep AT ALL. We were up and down to check on the car - the permanents were screaming, fighting - some real Jerry Springer stuff. I was upstairs and the people next to me had a dog that barked all night, in addition to the couple screaming at each other :/ Downstairs, fighting, screaming constantly. it sounded like something got broken downstairs. A guy on a motorbike kept coming and going, visiting the permanents downstairs and talking super loudly, then more yelling and fighting after he tore off on his bike. I didn’t feel safe; I expected the car to get damaged. I realise those people’s behaviour is not the motel’s fault, but I was so tired the next day that I got a migraine and yeah, still fending it off now, day after. Not impressed with those feral permanents. It’s a shame because the staff and rooms are great
KKarinaCannot fault the staff however the amenities need overhaul. The rooms TV didn’t work was advised couldn’t be fixed until the following day. Went to use hairdryer to find out no power points on that side of room were working. Again advised cant be fixed straight away. Had to use TV as a mirror for blow drying hair! Then we continued to get calls after 10pm from reception checking if everything was alright despite being told it cannot be fixed. Really disappointing. On a positive to GM and receptionist Cheryl were outstanding in trying to assist and did remove some charges.

MMimizhengThere is a kitchen, a washing machine, a large balcony and a view. The facilities are new. There is a parking lot for 20 Australian dollars per day. There is a swimming pool on the top floor with a great view. Shops and restaurants are a 15-minute walk away.
MMatthew1029I have no specific request to rooms but I just want an early check-in. I think it was Natalie checking me in and she was super nice. She managed to offer me a room and it was close enough to the lifts! Everything was so good. The breakfast was a bit disappointing. However it’s included so still acceptable, 6/10.
Well done to the front desk staffs and housekeeping staff, and whoever cleaned my room, I wanna give credit to them because they even adjust the map on my table to match the direction of the entry door.
Location is super duper brilliant. 1-2 mins walk from Southern Cross Station and seconds to Bourke Street tram. I could easily get access to trams and the Skybus!
Would definitely recommend to stay!

TThi Binh MinhWe had a great stay at Citadines on Bourke for 7 nights. To be honest, I never had such good night sleep at any other hotels like at Citadines. Location is super convenient, trams stop right in front of the hotels with many good restaurants around. Walking distance to many places of interests, high-end shopping street and supermarkets are just around the corner. Definitely will stay here if visiting Melbourne again.
