Beautiful grounds, staff were lovely. We got upgraded to a one bedroom apartment which was a nice surprise. My daughter has food intolerances and they were a great help with heating up pre prepared food etc. Breakfast was beautiful with gorgeous views over the Yarra Valley. I would love to come back.

The steam room and pool Jets were out of order, and the Suna advertised is misleading as it isnt actually available to guests unless booked via the spa. Apart for this the staff were amazing, the resturant and wine tasting was amazing, and the room was great!

TOTAL DISGRACE

we booked room for 3 ADULTS for mothers day stay in this hotel. when arrived, find out ther is only one king bed. ask front desk staff Maddilin for a extra bed when dining. 2 and half hour later we finished meal. told by front desk staff needLIN ere is nothing they can do because we didn't inform them we need two beds. and the.house keeping staffs are off duty. even no help offered when we ask for a extra lenine and blanket TO MAKE OUR OWN BED USING SOFA. she also claim the hotel is fully booked except the director's suite when we ask to book another standrad room which we find untrue by checking hotel.com later. we keeped screenshotfor evidence. when ask for solusion. told us to contact our booking agent to rebook for a two bed room at 930pm. refuse to contact higher manager until we are very upset. extremely rude and bully attitude. when we ask to talk to manager, she threating to remove us from front desk. eventually we paid more than 701.07 dollars extra to change to the director suite.

Their error = no customer care!

Room is nice and was clean. Staff friendly on check in. We had late check out arranged however staff made an error and our room was entered by cleaners early while at breakfast & stripped. When we returned to the room we alerted them we had not checked out. As a result a personal photo was removed from the room & 2 pairs of earings missing which they refuse to accept responsibility for. As compensation they offered a mid week stay which we cant use due to work or a free dinner which would be a 2 hour drive.. both very unreasonable considering the situation & personal loss. They refuse to offer a weekend stay to replace the night we actually paid for and nothing for the lost earings. Very very poor customer care.

We were beyond happy during our 4 days stay at the Balgownie when we were celebrating our wedding. The staff is fantastic and is the driver of all of our positive experience. The property is located ~1hr outside of Melbourne - we are from out of town and first time visiting here. Area is very quiet and a great getaway from the city. We had a group booking with ~10 rooms and the staff took care of each one of us during our stay. The staff is friendly, professional, and accommodating of our group - often recommending arrangements that would improve our experience proactively. We had the opportunity to use one of the group rooms as well for an event and it was very well catered. Food is fantastic but wish the portion is slightly smaller so we don't waste so much food! Property is in a modern condition, very clean and I thought was quite family friendly too. I particularly enjoyed the aesthetics of the hotel which combined modern design with some retro style - all worked well together. If you are looking for a weekend getaway or somewhere to visit near Melbourne, I highly recommend staying at Balgownie to make a special experience!
