Mineral Springs Hotel

8/10 Good

"Wonderful friendly staff, the only thing i can fault was that due to sharing an entrance to our villa with someone else their door would slam shut every time they would arrive home and i could hear them walk up the stair case to their villa which was pretty annoying other than that it was was a great and relaxing weekend away. Definitely thinking of coming back."

Hotel Bellinzona Daylesford

"Staff were very friendly and not arrogant at all. Very down to earth which we enjoyed and felt very welcome. Room was very big and not felt crowded. Shower was a double in a renovated modern bathroom. There were tables and chairs on the balcony up stairs that we could sit and watch the world go by. Meals were a good size and delicious. Car parking at rear too. Tables and chairs with an umbrella outdoor seating were popular. In the heart of the Daylesford township making it an easy access to all the shops, cafes, restaurants etc. Highly recommend."

There was a flushing noise coming through a locked door every 15 mins and not sure what that was. Didn’t get to use pool. Staff were very professional and polite."
