Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We could only look from the outside but it did appear unique as themed accommodation- wish Tourism Victoria or whoever would promote these special places rather than the old hands of penguins and the apostles.

Wish I could give no stars. Worst venue I have ever been to. It’s a shame because the venue itself is beautiful. But the staff are just atrocious. They were rude to the bride and groom from the get go. On the night staff were yelling at the DJ for the music being too loud and disrespectfully pulled his cord out of the wall and stopped the wedding early. You might read their replies to other negative reviews stating that the music was getting louder but this is utter rubbish. I could talk to somebody at least a table away and still hear them. They even complained our talking for the speeches was too loud! Which is also a lie. They made the bride cry at the end of her wedding and everyone had to leave early. Everything seemed like a bother to these people any request or question was met with utter bitterness. I would NOT recommend this venue ever to anyone. Much better venues out there with WAY better staff.

Was in a wedding here and the owners were horrible. They treated us like trash and complained about everything. It was so bad the bride ran out of the venue balling her eyes out during her own wedding as she had simply enough. They shouldn’t be allowed to do weddings or functions with all the rules and restrictions they put on you. To top it off the meals were terrible couldn’t eat the steak it was so chewy.

I have been here at least 3 times now. Quite a few months ago, we were in area and decided to drop by again and discovered it was closed! I'm sure I saw something about it being sold prior to that and I really hope the new owners are going to keep it open as a tourist attraction in the area.
I think it is one of the best attractions Vic has and it would be such a shame to lose it! I love it more than Sovereign Hill actually, as it is more rustic and gives it more of a real feel of pioneer gold town history rather than the richer and wealthier Ballarat gold town history. If you think along the lines of the Man from Snowy River town scenes or the old Western town scenes, this is what you'll see. All the rustic buildings are fitted out with the type of furnishings and belongings they would have had back then...It's probably the most enjoyable tourist attraction I have been to and I have been to many, within Victoria and Australia!!! Please keep it going somehow!!

The Porcupine township was a fantastic tourist attraction for the township of Maldon.
But the story goes that the village was sold as a going concern. The new owners, a couple, moved in closed the gates and that was the end of that. A great loss to the town of Maldon but the silver lining is that Maldon has many other events and festivals to fill the gap.

Very Expensive , only for the very well off . Prices for meals are way over the top . This was opened as a family friendly value venue for meals . It is not that by a long shot . Very disappointed by the meal and the price
