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.
Like the hotel vibe and friendly staff. Big free parking. Very good and big room. For some more $$$ you can get golf view, otherwise the room will face parking. Did not like the breakfast - a bit overpriced, was charged for small child as well and not that much to eat
The facilities are pretty clean and new. Kids love the outdoor swimming pool during the day and night. The room is a bit small for big families, but has everything you need, including TV and apps. The breakfast is just ok cos I was told chef is on leave so they can only provide a limited range of food options. The location is good, but far away from the city centre and restaurants. It is close to the beach and NY fireworks.
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.
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.
Although it was only an overnight business trip, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed our meal in the Hotel and we loved our room. It was clean and very spacious. The building is conveniently located to the main street and beach. Wew willk definately come back again, even for a holiday.
Very good location and excellent buffet breakfast.
Room with ocean view is just a sliver of ocean, so don't be fooled like us.
There was heaps of noise in the surrounding apartments (music and carry on etc), so it wasn't as peaceful as we had hoped. However the receptionist in the middle of the night was happy to go speak to those apartments.
Given the good price we paid it was probably worth the value. But I wouldn't stay and pay more than $200 a night.
Come to Ballarat and stay here. Go to the gold rush town of Mount Shufen during the day and return to the hotel at night. Walking around feels like traveling back to the 19th century. It's very tasteful. Although the facilities are not comparable to international chain brands, it has a different flavor overall. It is worth staying here
The room is fully equipped with electric stove and microwave for simple cooking. There is also a laundry room for guests to wash and dry clothes. Unfortunately, the soundproofing is poor and you can hear the residents in the neighboring rooms talking. Fortunately, the residents were considerate of each other and did not cause any noise.
