The room selected was perfect for our stay in the Yarra Valley. Eveything was spotless, clean with everything available at your fingertips. Staff very courteous and helpful. The breakfast buffet was well stocked with a selection to answer your needs. There was a weekend portion to our stay and the place was swarming with people, a good sign of the quality offered. The wine tasting at the cellar door was enjoyable and gave us the opportunity to sample many of the wines produced on site. Their estate series has some excellent wines that I would recommend. We had dinner at their restaurant and the meal was excellent. Overall, a very enjoyable time in a region that has a lot to offer for everyone.
