Balgownie Estate Yarra Valley

"We spent a weekend here recently. Service was country warm and friendly. Wine tasting, bar, and restaurant were excellent, as was breakfast. My wife used the Spa for a massage, and it was very good quality and excellent value for money. Our room was clean neat and tidy, but would have preferred a room above the ground floor"

"My husband and I booked for lunch last Saturday (19/8/23) for our Wedding Anniversary and were looked after by Sophie. The venue itself was beautiful and the food was amazing. What made the experience even more special was Sophie. She is an asset to your business, she was warm, accommodating, friendly and made us feel so welcome. We will definitely celebrate more special occasions at Balgownie in the future."

"Just had dinner there with close friend. Service was good. Drinks was reasonably priced. Atmosphere was also great. Being a weekday there was not much of a crowd and probably one of the few winery restaurants open for dinner. However unfortunately food was only average and I did expect it to be better."

"Website advises of luxury accomodation and the room we stayed in certainly was not. Small, not clean and our room access key did not work for our entire stay so had to visit reception every time we wanted into our room. They tried new key card and resetting door but nothing worked so we cut our trip short and left after 24 hours. Staff didn't seem to think having no access to room was an issue! Asked to be moved to new room but not available. The restaurant is really good and the meal was delicious but think twice before actually staying here."

"Overall very very good. We stayed for two nights and ate at the restaurant. Restaurant was great with great service; we were pleasantly surprised by the price for the quality. The room was good but could use some improvements. Overall it was clean, comfortable, and the view was brilliant. There were a few little things though like some minor mold on the shower curtain and the heating liked to stop working randomly - all in all it needs some minor maintenance but still a great place to stay. We'll be back."
