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.

Detailed Reviews
From the moment we arrived we knew that we had made the right choice. The place is so pretty and just a walk away from beautiful town of Healesville. The quaint motel lodgings are nicely tucked away amongst an impressive garden setting with many little places to sit and admire the view. The room is spacious and well equipped and has everything you need ( even face wipes in bathroom
And chilled glasses in fridge). The beds are comfortable and the place is spotlessly clean. Highly recommend!

Yarra Gables consists of a series of cottages that have been nicely renovated to provide extremely comfortable accommodation. The setting is gorgeous as the buildings are set among or overlooking manicured gardens with a lovely variety of shrubs, flowers, potted plants, large shady trees and sweeping emerald lawns. They have been planned with skill and artistry. Seats of several styles and small tables have been carefully placed around the grounds for guests to enjoy the vistas or sit and enjoy a picnic or drinks, some of them in pretty plant-surrounded gravel 'circles'. There are also seats and tables on the verandahs of every cottage.
Inside everything has been carefully planned for their guests' comfort. Beds and pillows are very comfy. Rooms are warmed by good heating (and beds have electric blankets), which we needed on our recent chilly night. The kitchenette has a microwave, toaster, crockery and cutlery. Little heart chocolates from the local chocolate producer were a lovely surprise and the biscuits were nicer than in some other establishments. White bath towels were particularly fluffy and seemed like new. There was wifi and a small desk if work needed to be done.
Yarra Gables is on the main road but the cottages are set back sufficiently to be very quiet. It is only 5 minutes drive from the shopping strip and therefore restaurants and cafes.
Ralph, the owner, is very friendly and was solicitous about our comfort.
The price charged is very reasonable for such a delightful and comfortable experience.
We're already recommending it to our friends and we'll certainly be back.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
The motel is conveniently located to local shops, cafés, wineries and restaurants so is the perfect location to explore the Yarra Valley. The spa room was clean, well appointed and had a balcony to view the well maintained garden. Ralph was a wonderful host and quickly attended to our Foxtel query and ensured we settled in with ease. Our stay was wonderful and would highly recommend Yarra Gables Motel to those travelling to the Yarra Valley.

Lovely room that was very clean and spacious. Nice decor with quality furnishings. Well stocked coffee/tea facilities and thoughtful little surprises such as heart shaped local chocolates and even a chocolate bunny. The property is very pleasing to the eye and obviously a lot of love and care goes in to maintaining it. Gorgeous garden for a stroll or to sit and enjoy the abundant bird life. Can walk to local cafes and restaurants. Overall, a great experience.

The stay was comfortable. The beds were heated and there were heated lamps in the toilet (I didn’t realise it until leaving in the morning). There were microwave which we made simple breakfast. We couldn’t connect to the WIFI and owner came to our room to help but we still couldn’t do it.

Thankyou Ralph! All six couples had a really lovely comfortable stay. Both houses were spotless and the extra touches like the choccies in the fridge, the Neutrogena makeup remover wipes, and the really really good coffee and tea were greatly appreciated. Ralph messaged in advance to let me know that we could check in earlier than expected and then messaged again that evening to make sure we we all comfortable and to see if we needed anything. Thank you Ralph and please let your wife know that we appreciated all the extra little touches.

Yarra Gables is a beautiful complex and we stayed in a spacious, clean, refurbished 3BR 2 bathroom cottage with a lovely outdoor living area and BBQ provided. A private lock up garage for your vehicle is also available.
We had a last minute change to our booking and it was handled seamlessly by Ralph who was extremely friendly, helpful and efficient. Check in was quick and easy.
The living area was at one end of the cottage and the bedrooms/bathrooms at the other with 2 steps down to that area. The kitchen provided most of the requirements needed.
The beds were on the firm side, but comfortable. The pillows very comfortable. Lots of storage space is provided.
The laundry was a good size with a washing machine, iron etc.
We only stayed 2 nights, but an extended stay would be well catered for.
Yarra Gables is highly recommended by us and we would definitely stay again in beautiful Healesville.

From booking to check out our stay was perfect. Our room was ideal for a family, adults in the main room & kids slept in the 2nd room with two single beds. Everything was super clean, comfy beds & little kitchenette had everything you need for a short stay.
The surrounding grounds of the property were also beautiful & very well looked after, nice for a little walk or find one of many little sitting areas to have a cuppa or read a book.
Would highly recommend Yarra Gables!!

Ralph and Helen were both friendly and professional, with plenty of COVIDSafe measures in place including outdoor check-in and completely contactless checkout. We arrived on a 30+ degree day and it was lovely to find the air conditioning already running and precooling the villa for us. On request (at the time of booking) they had also arranged a high chair and portacot for our toddler.
The villa itself was attractive and well furnished, with our preschooler describing it as "a beautiful house with a beautiful [dining] table". Despite being on Maroondah Highway, there was no noise from traffic or neighbours. The weather was hot and humid during our stay, but the open-plan living area was well served by a split-system air conditioner. The three bedrooms all had ceiling fans and with the doors open they could be partially cooled by the main split system (but not as much as if the villa had ducted cooling or multiple split systems especially in the master bedroom). The shower pressure was excellent and our children loved the big bath.
