Delicious Breakfast Experience

I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast at Bella Restaurant! The variety was excellent, with delicious ham, salmon, and a wonderful selection of cheeses to accompany fresh fruit. The scrambled eggs paired perfectly with the tomatoes and mushrooms. The barista coffee was a good finish to a magnificent buffet spread. It was a great way to start the day!

Incredibly Comfortable Room

My stay in the King Room was amazing. The room was not only spacious but also meticulously clean, providing the ultimate comfort. The view of the golf course was lovely, adding to the overall enjoyment of the stay. I loved the large bed and the luxurious bathroom with both a shower and a bathtub.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel, nestled in a beautiful golf course setting with delightful visits from kangaroos. The room was impressively spacious and comfortable, which made my stay very enjoyable. While the dining options could use a bit more variety, the quality was quite good. The location is peaceful and perfect for exploring the surrounding nature, making it a great getaway. However, I did notice some wear and tear in the furnishings that could be addressed for a more premium feel.

I enjoyed my stay, particularly the peaceful surroundings and the beautiful view of the golf course. The rooms were spacious and clean, which added to the comfort level. However, I was a bit disappointed with the communication around our welcome amenities and the fact that the indoor pool was closed during our visit. Overall, it was a nice getaway, albeit a bit misleading regarding its location to the Yarra Valley.

7.8/10

Yarra Valley Lodge is a lovely retreat just outside Melbourne, offering a clean and comfortable stay with stunning views of kangaroos and the surrounding countryside. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, making it a great escape from the city. However, the dining experience during peak times could be improved, and parking can be a bit challenging when the hotel is full.

Rooms

8.0

The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and spotless, complete with a lovely view of the kangaroos. However, the description of a king size room was misleading since it was two single mattresses pushed together.

Service

The service was lovely, with well-trained and friendly staff who were eager to help. However, they seemed a bit stressed during busy breakfast periods.

Location

Situated in a beautiful countryside setting next to a charming golf course, the location is peaceful and relaxing, though it can be a bit of a drive to local attractions.

I had an incredible experience celebrating my 50th wedding anniversary at the lodge with my family. We rented a private room for our lunch, which felt intimate and allowed the grandkids to play freely. The food was excellent, and the service was fantastic. A great day ended with some bowling nearby. I highly recommend this place for special occasions.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, nestled in beautiful surroundings among a picturesque golf course and frequent kangaroo sightings. The spacious rooms were comfortable, but they did show some signs of wear and tear. The dining experience was excellent, especially dinner, but breakfast could be improved. Although the location is convenient for exploring the Yarra Valley, it's not directly in it. A few minor inconveniences, like the pool being closed for renovations, did detract from the overall experience.
