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 enjoyed our overnight stop while riding the Great Victorian Rail Trail. The room was comfortable and fortunately we were towards the rear of the complex which was less affected by the road noise. The complementary continental breakfast (cereal only) was fine but with no spoons in the room, eating presented a challenge which was solved. We enjoyed the bar and bistro in the hotel.

Basic rooms, lacking any charm and not much in the way of comfort, outdoor area needs a good clean. Place could do with a Reno. Seemed to be full of tradies. Highway and hotel music extremely noisy. Don’t stay on a weekend if you want any sleep as the big party boats with booming speakers reverberate from Lake Eildon. Bring earplugs. Food in hotel is good and efficiently served. ‘Continental breakfast’ consisted of coco pops, jam but no bread, we asked for some bit received the answer ‘there is no bread’.

According to our kids “this is the best hotel ever”.
So good having a separate bedroom for the kids right next to the pool and walking out the back to a grassy green field (perfect space to kick the soccer ball) down to the lake.
Then had a great meal in the pub, with welcoming, friendly and very helpful staff.
They even provided us with complimentary cereal and milk for breakfast, even though officially breakfast is not included.
We had a great stay, perfect for our first night on the Rail Trail.

Food took fucjing forever I’m sitting here currently on table 9 dry wrenching because my stomach is that empty. It took 40 minutes to order and a further 30 minute wait just to get a schnitzel. Didn’t know it took that long to fry a chunk of chicken.

Was very pleasantly surprised with our stay . The room was backing onto the lake so we were greeted with amazing views on arrival . Rooms were clean and had everything we needed . Very generous breakfast provisions . Addition of an extra room for our teenage daughter was very handy . Food was also very good . Sitting outside soaking up a warm evening - the view , the food - can’t ask for much more on a holiday. Staff were very friendly

Being 6' 4" the shower was about the height of my shoulder.
may I suggest the addition of a hand held shower so I could reach my head without bending in two.
Otherwise pleasant stay, good pub style food.

Lovely position. Bed very comfortable. Hotel dinner was excellent, especially in a busy restaurant. Breakfast which was included was adequate but when we asked for bread for toaster and to use provided supplies we were told (quite grumpily) there was none. When I asked why there was a toaster and butter etc we were told that’s for people who bring their own bread! For $200 a night I expected a slice or two!!

Stayed one night as part of a trip on the Victorian Rail trail. Rooms neat and tidy with large ensuite. Pub is warm and welcoming with good pub food, which is just as well as there is not a lot else around. There is no breakfast provided apart from tea/coffee making facilities and some cereals, so if you want more than this you need to take your own.

Outstanding, friendly service and the meals were delicious! Rooms were very clean and offered an amazing view of the lake. The natural surrounds made it relaxing and with the rail trail close by, making it the ideal location for us. Thank you for a most pleasurable stay. My daughter and I loved it!

Good motel room and bar food was good and plenty of it. Comfortable bed, fridge provided as well as basic breakfast pack if required. Would really recommend the quality breakfast at the nearby outlet of this hotel - it’s about 2km away but well worth the trip.
