Yarra Valley Lodge

Lovely room, very comfortable. Good breakfast in the morning. Surrounding area around was pleasant for a walk and wallaby spotting.

The bed was exceptionally comfortable and suite was spacious, but no love was evident in the ambience overall.

Love the location - so peaceful! All Staff - Especially Ella, Jess and Simara, were exceptional! Carmen (or Carmil, not wearing a name tag) and Tracy were also very helpful and obliging! 🙂 Reception - Attentative, friendly and helpful. Rooms - Comfortable and mostly clean. However, bathrooms need to be refreshed, especially the tiled floor! Re-grouting would make a huge difference!!! Towels need to be upgraded (renewed), as some were stained and rough! Room service, although limited hours, was reasonable. Bar service by Ella and Jess was memorable and most enjoyable, thank you! Breakfast - Love that buffet breakfast is included in the accommodation price! However, it could be improved vastly improved by providing a larger variety of vegetation/vegan options. 😉 Barista-made coffee, in my opinion, should also be included, without being an extra cost! A walk along the grounds is always a bonus, especially observing the kangaroos on the property. 🙂

The location is stunning, it would be hard to get sick of the rolling green hills, native bushland, walking trails and quiet sounds of nature. The food is great, and staff are very pleasant.

Property is gorgeous and well maintained. Staff was extremely friendly. Rooms were clean and spacious. Best part - hordes of kangaroos roaming around on the facility. It was a treat to see so many animals, birds, etc just going about their day. So beautiful! A couple of things to note though: 1. The property is only reachable by car and there is not much to do after sunset. 2. It wasnt clear that the lodge is within the Heritage Collection grounds - there is no signboard for Yarra Valley Lodge so you have to go in through the Heritage gates to get to the lodge - follow google maps so you dont get lost but enter the Heritage Gates and dont go to the back gate, which is closed. 3. It is very dark at night with no street lights so it can be intimidating if you go there in the dark the first time - again, trust google maps.
