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 decided to book Chateau Yering on a whim, on the day, for a last minute getaway. I had always wanted to stay there and I was not disappointed! I have been lucky enough to enjoy some of the most luxurious hotels and resorts the world has to offer… Chateau Yering was every bit as beautiful, peaceful, grand and enjoyable in its own unique way. I cannot understand the bad reviews here… for those expecting the polish of The Ritz Paris and the absolute epitome of 2024 technology and luxury, it is not, but what it is, is a majestic old dame that rests peacefully in its’ surrounds of the casual country of the Yarra Valley. The property is full of grandeurs, olde world charm, character and possibly best of all, completely unpretentious. The building is truly remarkable and not overdone or bastardised by unsympathetic renovation. You really feel you are stepping back in time! The staff are so warm, welcoming and friendly, very knowledgeable about the history and the area. They couldn’t do enough to make us feel welcome and comfortable, with special mention to Stefan who really looked after us. We dined in the restaurant and had 2 courses plus canapés - the food was of exceptional quality (compliments to the chef on the lamb!), the service was again warm, relaxed and local. Not at all stuffy or pretentious, however felt as if we were teleported to another era, like dining in the titanic! Such a lovely intimate ambience with tables amply spaced for privacy. We stayed in the Martin Room, overlooking the central lawn on the ground floor before moving to the Hill View suite, upstairs overlooking the mountains with a spacious balcony. The upstairs suite had a separate living area and a spa bath… however I was not unhappy with the Martin room and would have no hesitation in booking this lower room category again, which was almost as spacious and also fitted with a claw foot bath. It had a lovely feel and it was nice to step out onto the lawn. The suite was stunning and far bigger if you were needing more space and enjoy waking up to stunning views. Beds in both rooms were like clouds and we both had a sound and comfortable sleep. Breakfast in the conservatory was light, bright and one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve ever had! If only we could have stayed a second night…

There is really not much to critique. Sure, some could say it’s tired but I think its authentic, romantic and all part of the charm! It could be slightly more attended to in terms of the gardens, tennis court and to see the mid century pool up and running with some white umbrellas etc… but really, what more could you ask for in a relaxing country weekend away? Nothing if you ask me. It was simply a pleasure and a privilege.

Thank you Stefan, Phil and team for making the stay so memorable. We will be back and I plan on booking a room for my parents upcoming wedding anniversary!

- Jasmine and Rhys, Toorak.

Chateau Yering is a luxurious 5 star hotel, with a grandeur that evokes memories of a majestic past. Established in 1996, the original mansion was built in 1854, and the scene was set with the warm solicitous welcome from the receptionist. Our room was large, decorated in lavish heritage style, and apparently all of the bedrooms have been individually decorated with antique furniture, antique works of art and fine fabrics. It has a very comfortable king sized bed, table and chairs, sofa and lounge chairs, a tv hidden in an antique cabinet and large bathroom with bidet, shower and claw footed bath – which was made good use of. The complimentary bath salts were an added luxury.

We were more than pleasantly surprised with our two night stay at the Château. Staying in the original homestead we enjoyed a beautifully furnished room styled in the age and history of this hotel.

Dinner at Eleanor’s restaurant was just brilliant. The food and service amongst the best fine dining I have experienced. 3 courses plus Canapés & house made bread (& house made butter to go with) were superb. Hiramasa kingfish, beetroot tortellini, beef cheek, pork loin & sumptuous desserts the orders for the day.

Breakfast at Sweetwater Cafe each day was also a treat, again friendly and attentive staff once again looking after us.

Without doubt this was the best value for money hotel we have stayed at in the Yarra Valley!

Extremely disappointed with our experience here at Chateau Yering. My husband and I wanted to experience a beautiful vintage getaway and we thought what better than this ‘5 star hotel’, well we were very wrong, not only is this place not friendly, they also have horrible customer service. I am 5 months pregnant and extremely hungry, I ordered room service a simple cheese burger, when it arrived it was completely raw in the middle, I took it back to the restaurant, and explained to the service staff what happened and if it was okay to get the meat cooked a little bit more, he was not friendly about it and told me that next time I should ask them to burn my meat since I’m pregnant. Once the second meal arrived to the room, eager to eat, I started chewing and found a long piece of hair, like I said I was hungry so I continued eating and disregarded the first hair, on my second bite, just under my lettuce I found another piece of hair (as if it was place gently on there), I took it back again to the restaurant and instead of apologising he tried to blame me for having long hair. This is absolutely ridiculous and I don’t trust this place.
We will be checking out early and do not recommend this place at all!

Don’t waste your money on this place, there’s better options around.

Facilities seem charming if a little quaint. That doesn’t compensate for the missing features that one expects from an expensive hotel.

Wifi was ‘free’ but weak signal and insecure network so not available for any practical use.

Power points for chargers etc had non standard earth connections so I couldn’t use the power board I brought with me for convenience. The GPOs that were there were behind tables and seats; inaccessible for charging my hearing aids

The TV was the smallest I’ve seen in years, inside a cabinet so that the screen could only be viewed from the bed only Free to Air channels.

Access to the room was along a labyrinthine route, upstairs but no elevator. Not easy for me with a heavy suitcase.

Dinner on site was booked out when we arrived but I’m looking forward to a takeaway from a local place.

The ‘mini bar’ was well stocked but expensive. Not even complementary water.

A disappointing part of our 50th anniversary celebration; after a spectacular lunch with family at Chandon just a short ride away.

We had a 2 night stay at Chateau Yering as a catch up for old work colleagues. There were some initial problems ( very poor attitude and communication from one reception staff member who caused issues with our booking and meals ). These were quickly rectified quickly by Vince & his colleagues. He and the dark haired front of house person were excellent . So too were the restaurant and bar staff. However, the place is very very run down . It was very disappointing . The cost per night was $400 (inc breakfast only ). It is more expensive that the 5 star hotels in the city but is no where near the standard.
It is the frayed couches, worn out mechanics and dated interiors that results in the place not making the grade any longer and needs a huge revamp . The computers were not working the entire time we were there despite many staff doing their best to repair the system . It meant that staff were diverted from doing their proper roles and the service suffered as a result ( I stress staff were not to blame but were in fact trying their hardest to sort out ongoing problems that were just beyond their control). We ordered the degustation menu with matching wines . As a result of staff being called to do other roles i.e.fix computer system, our wines did not match the course and arrived late , leaving us with cold food while we waited for the wine . Further , the TV in my room did not work properly, I also felt that the breakfast was a disappointment. Usually I would expect a buffet of fruit, cereal , juice, toast and bakery items and then also have a hot selection to order as part of the breakfast ( the cost was listed as $35 pp) . However it was one section of breakfast item and one hot drink according to the menu .That was all. We were offered juice but it was unclear if this would be extra or included . A similar issue happened with the second coffee . There were no newspapers on the first day but some on the weekend day. The food was mostly very good especially from Eleanor's restaurant . A charcuterie board that we ordered was quite lean in the quantity and some of the meats were not very nice ( this was the order that was messed up ) and required additional items to be ordered . In short great staff ( except for the cranky blonde woman on reception ) , nice food that was a bit light on in serving sizes, but terrible surroundings .

What a shame this beautiful Country House hotel has been so badly neglected, lacking any of the hallmarks of its previous position at the very top of my list of places to visit in the Yarra Valley. It started with the road closure preventing access to the hotel and no one attempted to contact us to let us know.
A restaurant we had booked during our visit to the area did though hence we found out there was going to be a problem.

When we arrived we were berated by the front desk person for parking at Reception so we could unload our bags which was how we were greeted. At this point I was astonished with the dreadful attitude but I’m afraid it gets worse.

We had booked dinner in the restaurant and we’re forced to sit through a 5 course degustation that was some of the worst food I have ever eaten all of which was served cold. At a $150 per head for food only I was astounded at just how bad it was.

The second night we were told our only option to eat was to go back to the restaurant for 5 more courses of dreadful cold food so we asked about the room service menu and we literally chastised for suggesting we might want to order in room dining. There was only a bowl of chips and a couple of snacks on that menu so don’t plan to eat other than at the over priced restaurant which ONLY offers a 5 course preset menu which comes out cold. With no access to the towns around it we had no options the second night other than 2 bowls of fries which we were chastised for ordered at 7:30pm because room service is only available until 8pm so they weren’t sure the kitchen could accomodate us.

Of course the breakfast must be mentioned although we only had it b the first day as it was so bad we couldn’t face it again but never have I experienced semi raw poached eggs, raw bacon that was stone cold on bread that was soggy from the raw eggs and untoasted with the most disgusting cold mashed mushrooms. Who the hell mashes mushrooms?

Not able to eat any of that we were going to opt for pastries but earlier risers had eaten them all and apparently they can’t be restocked for those who arrive an hour after breakfast service begins.

The $630 per night Tarif for the room was fine as it was lovely but the veranda and outdoor furniture was so filthy we felt a bit ripped off there too.

It’s sad to find a grand old lady reduced to a skeleton of her former glory, needless to say we won’t be back.

Amazing food, even better service. The seafood entree flavour needed savouring. The main meals were very well presented and the four dishes enjoyable. The timing of the 3 courses was excellent. Sam Cook was very attentive, welcoming, with a level of humour that was appropriate. and was able to assist with wine pearing. The 4 who were dining couldn't fault Sam's service.

Venue was exceptional. Greeting when we arrived was great, received a brief history tour, showed us around the different rooms, where breakfast would be. Took our bags straight away and carried them to our room.
Room is spacious and luxurious, great view from the balcony.
Dinner - Greeted and shown to our table quickly but that’s where it went down hill. Ordered a bottle of wine which then after 1.50 hrs told us it wasn’t available. Water took in excess of 20 mins to get and had a glass missing. Food was exceptional.
But the we had empty plates left in front of us whilst staff walked around.
Service at dinner was very disappointing. Would rate the service 1.5 stars out of 5.
Breakfast Day 1 also took over 30mins to order again. People sat down after us and had food ordered before us. Again very disappointing with service.
Breakfast Day 2 Much better as there was a Manager on shift who knew and was instructing young worker on what to do. Seated quickly, ordered quickly a very different experience and was very good.
Would recommend staying here, staff were very friendly and food was excellent but professional service was missing.

Situated in the Yarra Valley, historic Chateau Yering is simply beautiful. I returned to the hotel after 25 years and the house did not disappoint.
The hotel has recently changed hands and I would like to thank the Hotel Manager and his team for their efforts to sort out any issues I experience.
The De Castella room is stunning and has one of the most comfortable hotel beds I have ever slept in.
As the hotel restaurant is not open everyday the room service lunch and dinner, were well presented, fresh and quite delicious!
Breakfast is served in the delightful cafe and there is an extensive choice. I do not usually partake but as you can order until 10.30 I enjoyed an equally delicious "brunch" of eggs benedict.
Members of staff Katy, Fiona, Tania and the housekeeping team, thank you.
Hope to return again soon.
