"Beautiful and spacious close to Main Street, shops & pubs.
Very comfortable bed but doona was a bit warmer than I would have liked, I am a hot sleeper and a lighter option would have been good.
Shower over bath is quaint but slightly awkward.
Overall a great place to stay, would definitely recommend"

"Huge, well-appointed rooms. Convenient location for accessing venues near the Dandenongs/Yarra Valley. Rooms were a bit dated, but clean and well kept - overall a great value for the price!"

"My partner Jimmy and I stayed for 2 nights in Feb 2002, it was beautiful! Historic charm with modern amenities! You needn’t worry about a thing everything included for you to step right into and feel at home. Fresh local produce, bread, tea, jams yoghurt, juice, milk with breakfast basket. Woodfire, outdoor deck with stunning views, BBQ, we were visited by some friendly kookaburras which we could pet. Not to mention the huge spa between the adjoining rooms, separate bathrooms with rainwater...

Lovely stay in beautiful surroundings.
Enjoyed watching the kangaroos from the balcony and the cockatoos morning visits.
The cottage was excellently laid out for my mother who has mobility problems- easy ramp for access and bathroom with shower seat and grab rails

Loved staying here in the cottage at Yarra Gables. The staff were really nice and the property was a sensational getaway from the hustle & bustle of Melbourne. Super easy access to loads of nice walks of course the Yarra Valley Wineries!!

Lovely hotel perfectly placed for a short walk to Albert park. The room was beautiful and spotlessly clean, the amenities were considered and useful and the shower was excellent. The bed was huge and comfortable and we only wish we could have stayed a few extra nights. The coffee in the lobby was excellent, we would absolutely stay here again.

Love how quiet and sleek the hotel is. Great location for getting around the city. Access to the bath house is such a treat, and the coffee/ bakery by reception is great too. Had to book an extra night!

A gorgeous place to stay. We loved our time at Aquila and felt so relaxed and refreshed being there. The room was clean and cosy, especially with the fire on. The amenities were fantastic and the bottle of bubbly readily enjoyed! We both found the bed to be comfortable and had a real quality night's sleep. Couldn't fault it, thank you for having us!

Cluster of cottage based 'rooms' set in the trees just a short walk from 'sky high'. We had theb loft room, which was a 3 large rooms: lounge, kitchen, loft bedroom plus full bathroom & spa. Great for 'getting away' as the 'accomodations' are separate & individual. Kitchen has all you need for breakfast including bacon & eggs. The port & Lindt chocolates are a nice touch. Probably not ideal if you want be in & out a lot as it is up a mountain! But if you want some space & be not too far from...

This is great hotel/apartment just to the north of Melbourne but still very accessible into the city with its very convenient transport links of the train and the tram just stopping right outside and straight into Flinders Street if you want the city in only 30mins. I love the fact it’s in the ex Pentridge Prison complex, the apartment's are modern and well fitted out. I was here for three weeks with a work visit and the apartment was perfect, I’ve stayed here a few times now and only just...
