Nightcap at York on Lilydale
Very helpful ladies at the front desk at check in. Room was clean, and bed was very comfortable. Was really surprised (and pleased) to see the complimentary bottles of water restocked every day, too! Also really nice staff at the bar if you want a drink during your stay. Definitely a good value place ...

Yarra Valley Lodge
The room was spotless, the staff nice and courteous and surroundings lovely but the food from the bistro doesn’t not match what the rest of the place is. I am not complaining about the price but it was expensive for the quality of the food.

Wild Cattle Creek Estate
Breakfast menu was good, although half the lights in our villa were unable to be turned on. However, staff were very clear and we were helped instantly after the car was parked. Beds are also very comfy and the room was clean.
