Chateau Yering Hotel
Big rooms but old world shouldn’t mean dusty and tired. Needed a good clean up and refresh. Cochroaches were not a good addition either!

Yarra Valley Lodge
Staff service was great but the TV was not connecting to smart phone to use netflix, youtube or any entertainment. And it is great if they can provide a microwave and cutlery and crockery inside the room for guests to use. Otherwise everything else was perfect and will be definitely recommended

Wild Cattle Creek Estate
Location was the only Plus !! We booked at this estate because it was offering Morning breakfast. It also showed a restaurant which offered Lunch and Dinner!! It was a total disappointment! When we contacted for the breakfast, the guy told us he will keep it outside our door. We expected breakfast ...

Yering Gorge Cottages
The location is lovely if you want to me immersed in the Australian wildlife but the property isn’t as luxury as it claims. The facilities weren’t as nice as advertised and the room wasn’t clean.
