Love the peace and quiet of Balgownie Estate. Near to the winery and close to nature. Especially love the big space room, with heater in the bath was much loved. We barely left the room and just hung out in the room
Wished the service level could be improve to make the trip perfect. Have sent 3 emails/query via Trip portal prior to our arrival, to seek advise in getting around Yarra but to no response at all. Upon approach the counter, the attitude of the reception was nonchalant on whatever question we post to them. Could have been better!
That aside, Yarra Valley is just simply beautiful!

Balgownie Estate Yarra Valley is a lovely place to stay, surrounded by a beautiful vineyard. There’s a walking path that leads up to a scenic viewpoint, offering a stunning view of the vineyard, and you can even see cows up close if you are lucky.
The room was cozy and comfortable, making for a relaxing stay. However, the air conditioning unit was a bit of a downside—it was blowing out dust and positioned right above the bed, which wasn’t ideal. A little more maintenance on that would improve the experience. The hotel eventually helped us to change to a new room which did not have any problem.
Overall, it’s a great place for a peaceful getaway in the Yarra Valley, with gorgeous scenery and a tranquil atmosphere.

Services were good in general. The indoor heated pool and gym were handy. In-room air conditioning was efficient and cool, which was much helpful on a 40 degree day. However room cleaness wasn't totally satisfied. The glass shelf for tumblers, cups and mugs was covered with dusts. The tumblers, cups and mugs were dusty and some with coffee stains. We had to wash them before using. Confirmed booking details says check-out time 10-11am, but reception advised there would be a $40 fee if we check out after 10:30am. A little harsh and unjustified for such charge.

We booked this hotel because of the global ballooning. It is right at the hotel. This hotel is beautiful. It is not near to the town, and needs to travel longer distance as usual. The parking area is further from the room that we are allocated. We are given room with staircase, and we have 4 big luggage to push & carry. Raining and there is no shelter from car park to our room unit. The heat lamp in the bathroom is not working. No portable heater when we ask for. The heater in the living room (the sofa bed) is not working well, though there is hot air blowing out. It is still cold in the winter time.
