Lodging near Badger Creek Bushland Reserve, Melbourne

"Panorama is in a very quiet, idyllic spot in the Dandenong Ranges. Our welcome was very pleasant and easy. We were shown our room, which turned out to have a faulty shower, with an alternative given immediately. The manager was very engaging and took us on a tour of the property, which has the primary function as a conference centre. The large central dining/lounge is comfortable and relaxing. The rooms are small, but clean. The bathrooms are quite small, but adequate for a short stay. The owners have only had the property for a few months, but are making significant improvements. This is a fantastic place to get away and relax if you want a total break. There are no shops within about five kilometres, but drinks are available at the motel. We were very surprised to return after a day out to find fresh towels and the bed made, something we did not expect on a daily basis, particularly for the reasonable price we were charged. Not too far from the burbs, but felt like a total bush experience, even to the deer passing through the bottom of the garden."

"Absolutely amazing stay. Great staff, welcoming, accommodating and very genuine! We loved our one night stay at this perfect location in the Yarra Calley. Highly recommend!"

"Quick checkin lovely spacious room nice king size bed in quiet part of hotel with no noise from the busy roads nearby great hot shower plenty of space in bathroom there was a spa bath but we didn’t use it Plenty of parking at the rear I would stay here again "

"Always friendly, helpful staff. I’m forever forgetting a pen or something and they are more than happy to help. Also great to see the same faces each time I stay. Clean rooms, comfy beds. Love staying here!"

"Very Clean"

"The room was comfortable and quiet. We had a great night's sleep. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and I had the best Lychee Martini I've ever had in the bar downstairs."

"I had a lovely stay at Chateau Yering Hotel. A warm welcome from Annie at Reception, a spotless and lovely room, very friendly and helpful house-keeping staff, and Jennifer in the Sweetwater Cafe makes an excellent coffee. I think Eleonore's Restaurant is at present only open for dinner on Wednesday evenings but plenty of restaurants not far away in Lilydale, and Yarra Glen township is only about 5 minutes from Chateau Yering. For lunch there is the Yering Station restaurant right next door to Chateau Yering. Highly recommended."

"Very clean, friendly staff "

"We had an amazing experience staying in the GeoDome at Big4 Healesville. We absolutely loved the uniqueness of the accomodation, setup with warm furniture and decor, heating and lots of cosy blankets to create a warm, ambient atmosphere. Our favourite part was sitting down, drinking a wine and watching the rain patter on the windows, the perfect setup for a rainy afternoon. Highly recommend this experience! "
