Daylesford hotellia

Plussat: A true boutique hotel- beautiful garden, modern deco and arts, superb service, lovely cheese and wine in the evening and great breakfast in the morning! We were there for our anniversary and we booked the king suite for two nights. It is expensive but worth every penny. The attention to details is what makes it unique! Thank you Adrian & Charles for a memorable experience!

Plussat: Adrian & Charles were wonderful hosts. engaging , warm , attentive & friendly people. nothing was a problem. we had come from the Grand Hyatt in Melb City. Lunch on Friday there was woeful. Breakfast here, simply amazing. Fine dining in Daylesford .... who would have thought. Decor was simply marvellous, a step back in time. I almost forgot, SPOTLESS. so clean & tidy. All the little things add up to a BIG TICK from me. Smooth operators.

Miinukset: A blank piece of paper with no words lol.

Plussat: We had a lovely stay at the Dudley Boutique Hotel. Adrian and Charles were such welcoming hosts and have managed to create a beautiful balance between calm, tranquility and privacy for guests whilst also being so attentive and friendly throughout our stay. Creativity from the kitchen complements the bold and tasteful styling of the Dudley and its hosts. Early evening canapés and the breakfast made to order were highlights we’d return for any day!

Plussat: The exceptional service provided by Charles and Adrian was first class. It was a pleasure to stay at the hotel they go out of their way to give you an experience to remember. The breakfast without a doubt one of best from any hotel we have stayed in. The service is topped off with a glass of wine some cheese and canapé before going out for dinner. Well done!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Adrian and Charles made us feel welcome the second you arrived at their doors. They made sure we settled in comfortably before offering wine, cheese platter to relax before chauffering us to dinner and then picked us up afterward so we can drink and not having to worry about driving. We even had our outfits for the night ironed. The place is cozy and super clean. Breakfast is divine. Too many things to like about this place. We will definitely stay at Dudley Hotel next time we visit the area again.

Miinukset: Can't think of anything.

Plussat: The location was very central and the breakfast was excellent. Renee and Izzy were very welcoming and helpful. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean and well maintained.

Miinukset: Not having a television in the room but with a bed and breakfast set up that is often the case. There was a TV in the lounge but awkward when other people are there too.

Plussat: Lovely room in a beautiful old house just minutes from the main street of Daylesford. The guest lounge room (which we had all to ourselves) was very comfortable. Renee made us a full cooked breakfast next morning. The crepes were very good!

Plussat: Good location. Very comfortable bed and very clean. Host was welcoming and helpful.

Miinukset: The WiFi and TV reception connectivity was less good than we have experienced elsewhere in our travels in Victoria; if you need really good reception then this isn’t the place to stay. If it’s not important, then this is a great place for a couple of nights to explore the local area.

Plussat: Our host and fellow guests were particularly pleasant.

Miinukset: Mattress sagged and needed replacement. Room very cool.

Plussat: Yummy breakfast , great location , privacy for spa suite

Plussat: Whole two day experience exemplary. Restaurant first class, especially service. Breakfast A la Carte fantastic. Buffet not quite so great. Accommodation suite beautiful. I'm sure lake view suites would be stunning. Location so close to all site seeing and restaurants. Even though we had a hiccup with the noise of central heating, management fixed it as soon as possible.

Miinukset: Can't think of any.

Plussat: Excellent view, I love the heated bathroom floor and heated towel, nice and warm.

Plussat: Just a beautiful place

Miinukset: The weather, it was so cold But the facilities were warm cozy & beautiful

Plussat: The staff were very welcoming and went out of their way to make our stay special. Dinner was a wonderful experience with excellent service and a beautifully cooked meal. The room was wonderful and we look forward to returning.

Plussat: Everything single thing was a delight!! The food, the view, the environment, the staff... it was a real treat!!

Miinukset: There was not one thing I could say wasn't amazing.

Plussat: i enjoyed the spa and the comfortable beds

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: The location and view was amazing. Great area to get away and relax in your own space.

Plussat: The attention to detail was great. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the deck out the back and watching the kangaroos. It was fantastic that we could watch TV from the bathroom as well with the speakers. The chocolates on arrival left a sweet taste in our mouths.

Miinukset: Nothing- It was all great!

Plussat: Everything it was peaceful and relaxing..

Miinukset: The pillows were abit hard

Plussat: Bathspa its was fantastic and we love it I highly recommended❤️

Plussat: The bed was really comfortable.

Plussat: Location was great, fixtures and fittings were very luxurious (except the bed).

Miinukset: Freezing cold tiles in the bathroom; considering the location and the "luxury"of the place, either heated floors or carpet would have been much better. Lack of privacy due to glass walls and the curtains are see through, so toilet use is very embarrassing. Bed was terrible and linen was average as were the pillows; in luxury accommodation, these the things are probably the most important, so feel very short of expectations. Staff attitude was not very appealing. Although the room appeared clean, on closer inspection it looks like not much care is taken to keep the place hygienically clean.

Plussat: Very clean, quiet and everything we needed was there. Would recommend this property.

Miinukset: Nothing was a great property

Plussat: Lovely property, had all the amenities required and some nice extra touches.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The location was great. We were right in the middle of Daylesford, perfect for seeing the local attractions. The staff and room were all perfect and exceptional.

Miinukset: One of the stove seemed to not be working, though this is just being nit picky as the rest was an absolutely perfect experience.

Plussat: The room was lovely, gorgeous decor and the mood was set even before we walked in. Complimentary nibbles and bubbly with water on our bedside tables was very thoughtful. Attention to detail very good.

Miinukset: The parking area. Needs to be sealed or something. Very steep and as they say “a little rough under foot” if you were elderly or physically challenged it is not for you.

Plussat: Excellent stay, great for a couples weekend away.

Miinukset: Only minor item it would be good to have blockout blinds for windows up high as bedroom area is open space.

Plussat: Nice place to enjoy holidays:)

Miinukset: The slope is in a high dip angle so it is easy to get the car scratches.

Plussat: The property is amazing - very private and secluded. The facilities were fantastic and the bottle of champagne and chocolates on arrival was really lovely.

Miinukset: We loved everything!

Plussat: the bed was amazing

Miinukset: the fact it was only for one night and not longer

Plussat: Comfy bed, fancy villa, relaxing spa and comfy couches

Miinukset: The tv/projector didn’t work properly the speakers kept playing up and it took awhile for the man to fix it and half way through watching the movie it turned off ): Would be nice if there was a platter or fruit.. A lot of insects at night!

Plussat: Short trip this Christmas. Excellent for couples. Highly recommended.

Plussat: Helen was very lovely and helpful

Miinukset: All pretty good. Would have liked smart tv. Overall though very good

Plussat: Such a lovely stay!! Beautiful views of tree trips, comfy bed, nice spa! Warm and cozy :-) Close to Hepburn’s Springs Bathhouse

Miinukset: Nothing - all great!

Plussat: Helen is an extremely helpful host and no request was too hard. Villa was amazing and the room was warm and waiting for a romantic weekend away. Couldn't recommend highly enough and we will be back again.

Plussat: Great place to stay for couples, completely relaxing. We had a wonderful break!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: It was close to the Main Street and town Service was very friendly Reasonably good value

Miinukset: Slightly outdated

Plussat: Very clean, neat and tidy. Conveniently located close to town centre

Plussat: Excellent location, very reasonable price, very clean, very pleasant hosts.

Miinukset: The internet was slow and kept dropping out.

Plussat: Love the location and the team! Booked our next trip while there

Miinukset: Thin towels.

Plussat: Location and the room booked

Plussat: Just an overnight stay. Handy to town etc.

Miinukset: Could not get WiFi, but the town has issues here apparently.

Plussat: Although there was was a basic breakfast menu offered by the motel at a very reasonable price, we chose to venture out onto the nearby main street and select our breakfast from the large number of cafes lining the main street. We loved the double (or maybe triple) size shower and excellent water pressure in both hot & cold water taps. Large smart TV offered excellent quality picture & reception. Microwave oven and a great little fridge were included. Room was serviced daily with an option to decline the service. Great gas BBQ facility with a large table Convenient car parking next to the unit.

Miinukset: A bath would have been nice option. Maybe other units had a bath but we didn't inquire.

Plussat: The place was very peaceful.

Plussat: Shizuka is incredibly peaceful, the rooms are cosy and comfortable but not too small and the private gardens lend a sense of peace and tranquility. The bathrooms are modern and clean and the small touches, such as home made soaps and bath salts, and the music playing when you entered the room, were very special.

Miinukset: If your neighbours are heavy footed or rather loud, you will be able to hear every single footstep and conversation.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: View was a wall and few plants Noisy plumbing , could hear shower and toilet next door Fridge buzzed on and off all night Bed was erected 3 hrs after we arrived Room very cold Advertising incorrect

Plussat: Lovely friendly and easy go.

Miinukset: I dont agree price what special?

Plussat: Just amazing the staff were fantastic. And the breakfast was awesome had a lovely time.

Plussat: Stayed before and would stay again Top location Enjoyed dinner at one of the local Pubs Played bowls next door Parking is excellent. All service staff at the various establishments were friendly towards us View from the balcony was excellent This whole area has a lot to offer

Miinukset: Nothing. Was a bit smokey due to the Vic fires but not over the top

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: It was ok but over priced for what it was. Room very dated (and I don’t mean “heritage”), needs a refresh.

Plussat: Very accommodating and helpful staff.

Miinukset: The toilet rolls with 30 cm sheets of paper was ridiculous.

Plussat: Great location

Miinukset: Mattress

Plussat: Had a lovely stay here in New Year’s Eve in a room with a great spa bath. Wanted a quiet new year just not doing very much and the stay was great for that. However there was a party going on at the venue next door and that sounded like great fun. The noise wasn’t enough to keep us awake. If you are attending a function at that venue though this would be a really convenient place to stay. Next year I’m going to book in to New Year’s Eve at the palais hopefully and would definitely stay here again. The owner was very friendly

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Set back from the road so rooms are quiet. Good sized room which was very clean. Adequate plates and cutlery and microwave and coffee/tea making facilities. Good heating and cooling. Comfortable bed with plenty of pillows.

Miinukset: The rooms are a little dark due to the dated style but this didn’t detract from the rooms level of comfort.

Plussat: Excellent self-contained villa for the whole family at a value price.

Miinukset: Sign in villa says something like, "check out 10am sharp, any minute after this a full night's fees will be charged". I think a little flexibility should be considered. It made for a very stressful morning getting kids organised to ensure we were not one minute late.

Plussat: Good location; friendly staff;

Miinukset: Double Bed very hard and uncomfortable Air conditioner has no remote and too high to turn off/on. Water temperature very variable and unstable in shower. Otherwise all great.

Plussat: Location was great

Miinukset: Spa was very average. Very outdated

Plussat: Good location

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Not applicable

Plussat: Peaceful private and quiet plenty of birds and quirky artwork

Plussat: The only good thing about this property is outdoor spa and outdoor sitting area.

Miinukset: Stones everywhere they cant run around. Not good for kids. When you enter property it looks like you have entered some broken house. Flooring is worst. Its different what you see and what you get. Flooring is worst and depressing. I booked for 2 nights but left that property in few hours.

Plussat: As above

Miinukset: Nothing not like, peaceful quiet and relaxing.

Plussat: We did not have croissants or a bottle of wine But we had a lovely time

Miinukset: Would have liked 2cd bathroom and toilet we where 4 people not enough room for 6 people But we had a great time even though it rained every day bed very comfortable

Plussat: The beds were comfy. The spa was great, and the outdoor bath and shower were a great option for the bold and refreshing to do outdoors. We all tried it and it was invigorating, relaxing and scenic. Interesting metal sculptures surround the stays. If you are a big group both accommodations Sutton and Salt Springs are side by side and could book both out and mingle between on decks. Quirky layout and construction of mixed materials, but done well.

Miinukset: Some sliding doors were a little stiff and one came off its track completely while using.

Plussat: Good location, very comfortable and lovely looking place - spa was awesome

Miinukset: The photos of the property listed online were not the actual place we stayed in, probably could of done with being a little cheaper due to this however the stay was great so no major complaints, just update the photos if they are different apartments as we were expecting something different (:

Plussat: Great location and beautiful place & spa

Miinukset: The bed is not very comfortable

Plussat: Loved the setting and the peacefulness of the property. I would definitely return for another visit.

Plussat: The ruggedness of the property. The unique building and spa

Plussat: Great location, beautiful house, enjoyed the billiard room. Our room was well heated and loved the window panel above the bed with the art cover board. Christine the host gave great recommendations where to eat and visit which was very helpful

Miinukset: Bed in the champagne room we found very uncomfortable as too the pillows. This is relative as everyone has a different bed preference. However, could really feel where the two single beds joined, really dipped. And would really recommend a doona cover as opposed to two sheets. And dimmer lights or bedside table lamps, overhead down lights way too bright

Plussat: Given a map with different places to visit. Recommended nice places to eat too!

Plussat: The house entertainment and facilities

Miinukset: Wifi internet connection problem.

Plussat: Beautiful property. Loved the rooms, the living rooms and the location. Unfortunately we only had one night here.

Miinukset: Sharing the property with others was slightly awkward at times. But we knew this was a possibility when we booked.

Plussat: Great location close to cafe's, restaurants, and day spa's, relaxing atmosphere

Miinukset: Bathroom lighting was poor, electric blanket didn't work on one side of the bed

Plussat: Super comfy bed and room! Spa was gorgeous, the whole stay was excellent

Plussat: Loved the house, the garden and view from our room. Loved easy access to spa and restaurants and also host's tips for restaurants. Loved that even though there were other people in the house we felt secluded and had privacy. Also enjoyed the selection of dad's and the possibility of having an open fire!

Plussat: Confortable bed and beautifully decorated

Miinukset: We missed a toaster. We couldn’t reach the receptionist by whatsup, she doesn’t use it, but we didn’t know and expected her response.

Plussat: Beautiful gardens, spa, bar and restaurant. Wonderful customer service. The staff continually went above and beyond.

Miinukset: Room needs a little bit of update

Plussat: Beautiful part of the world .. so good for exploring Hepburn Springs history and glorious walks

Plussat: Very good breakfast and a good location.

Plussat: Very relaxing and tranquil. Delicious brekky each day!

Miinukset: Was a bit difficult to find staff because we had a mid week stay.

Plussat: Great and cooked special requests

Plussat: Location, setting, breakfast, Spa facilities and very friendly/helpful staff.

Miinukset: Dinner menu was average quality and very similar choices, at higher cost, than menu at local cafe style outlet. Cleaning of apartments (cigarette ash on balcony from previous guest) needs to be more thorough and room decor is getting tired (scratches to walls, filled holes from old TV bracket not painted over). Certainly not expected at this price range.

Plussat: Staff gave exceptional service.

Miinukset: TV needs updating
