Hotels With Spa in Victoria, Australia

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.

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 good town, the equipment is old, the location is convenient.

This is the most satisfactory hotel we stayed in Australia. The room facilities are very new, very clean and of excellent quality. The hotel owner is very enthusiastic, a loving old couple, especially kind, taking care of the safety and health of the children. The hotel is very conveniently located, with a separate exit to the beach, and plenty of dining and shopping nearby, which is much better than we expected. It is the first choice for family travel, and I will stay a few more days next time!

I’m really pleased with the service provided by the GSA working late night on 20/05. She was quick with our check in and saved the evening by providing us the charging cord which I couldn’t purchase anywhere nearby. Please extend my thanks to her. I loved the room that was given to us , beautiful view of the bridge and the wheel, the room was spotless and I specially love the amenities from O&M for body care. The hotel itself is less than a minute from the light rail so very convenient for commute. Just a few observations: I couldn’t check out with the GSA which is not a big deal in itself but I couldn’t return the charging chord to the receptionist myself because no body was at the desk when I came down to check out apart from a few airline crew. Since I was in the hurry I dropped the key in express check out box and handed the chord to the airline crew to pass it onto the GSA. Me and my partner also felt that the room’s AC did not cool to our satisfaction , we did call reception to use their central control to manually lower it but we didn’t feel any difference. AC made it slightly challenging to sleep as we preferred. Overall; wonderful. Me and my partner definitely will be returning .

Spent a little extra to upgrade to a high city view room . Well worth the extra $30 , view was great . Room large but a little tired looking ,decor dated especially the bathroom . Hard to control the temperature in the room. Bed was comfortable though and suited us for Grand Prix weekend. Would likely try another brand next time though as needing a revamp

It was much better than I thought. I was satisfied with the cleanliness, and I didn't use it, but there are microwave ovens, toasters, dryers, and plenty of towels. Rye ocean is right in front of me and there are many good restaurants nearby. I'd like to reserve a place when I visit Sorento again next time.

I have put book 2 connecting rooms. One is King size bed the other twin beds. Both rooms are very comfortable. The twin beds are two queen size beds which can accommodate 4 people. Good view of a Yarra river and the old station across the river. Location very convenient as it connected to many different restaurants. I would also recommend using its very nice gym and warm and big swimming pool. Kingpin in the hotel mall (ask the hotel staff) is also recommended for travellers with children and teenagers. Lots of fun as their video games are great, with Laser tag and bowling.

We wanted to extend our stay at the hotel, but unfortunately, we had to move to a different room without an ocean view. Suddenly, we noticed that the windows and doors in the new room showed significant signs of wear and tear, which was quite disappointing. We planned to check out at 11:00, but the hotel insisted on a 10:00 checkout, which felt inconvenient. On the other hand, check-in wasn’t allowed before 14:00, adding to the frustration. While the location and initial experience were promising, these issues affected our overall impression. There’s definitely room for improvement in service and room quality.

Too much noise from adjacent apartment late into night. Sounded like they had gym equipment thumping away…continuously. Very flimsy walls or ceilings?? Difficulty entering garage as card did not work… followed another vehicle in!
