Luxury Hotels & Resorts in Gruyere from AU$119

"We loved our stay at the Yarra Valley Lodge. Loved the room, view, wild life, food and drinks. Highly recommend considering staying at the Lodge if you are staying overnight or longer in the Yarra Valley. "

"Hotel is heritage listed building and is exquisitely decorated with antiques and decor true to its era. We were looking for a place to stay for a family celebration, where we could have dinner and stay the night without travelling anywhere and booked elenors restaurant as well as 4 rooms. Two weeks before our stay they closed the restaurant and cancelled our booking, which meant we had to drive to a nearby restaurant for dinner. It was disappointing and no real reason was given. It took 2 phone calls (via AI answering service) to find out any information. We found the whole hotel is very light on for staff, the pool is in total disrepair which lead us to believe there are budget issues and cost cutting. The rooms are very large and lovely but the air-conditioning is not fit for purpose. We slept with the balcony doors open at night to cool the room down and it was below 30.degrees during the day. Overall it's a lovely historic property but in need of some TLC and additional real life (not AI) staff."

"Great staff and hotel. "

"Clean Rooms and Very good Staffs "

"The room was spotless as always and the staff are always courteous and ready to talk to you (no waiting). There was a slight smell of cigarette smoke, I'm not sure how they can deal with this if people choose to break the rules, but perhaps a bit of awareness to leave door & windows open to air it out, just a suggestion."
