What guests think
Panorama Retreat & Resort sits in a scenic, secluded setting near Olinda, with tranquil gardens and wildlife, consistently friendly staff, and a quiet, conference-style atmosphere that guests find relaxing, good value, and convenient for exploring the Dandenong Ranges.
Rooms are basic, often small and dated, with older TVs and no in-room fridges common; comfort varies and some report thin walls or heating controls they cannot adjust. Cleanliness is generally good, but recurring maintenance or housekeeping issues appear, such as problematic showers, occasional dust or odours, and tired fittings. On-site dining is limited or closed at times, breakfast tends to be simple, and after-hours reception or key pickup has caused confusion for several guests. Expect a peaceful nature escape with simple rooms and better experiences if you plan ahead for meals and access.
