Best of the Best Hotels

B&Bs and Inns - South Pacific

When you want a charming stay with that home-away-from-home feel, these spots deliver.

The Travellers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best title celebrates the highest level of excellence in travel. It’s awarded to those who receive a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from the Tripadvisor community over a 12-month period. Out of our 8 million listings, fewer than 1% achieve this milestone.


Top marks go to service and cleanliness in Yarra Gables, a luxury motel located in the heart of Yarra Valley. Beyond the charming and well-appointed cottages, they've even got an in-house sommelier who can tackle all your questions about the wine region. Best part? The hotel is within walking distance to worthwhile attractions like Healesville Sanctuary and the Four Pillars Gin Distillery—making it the perfect weekend getaway for those looking to relax in the countryside.

    An exceptional property, very peaceful with beautifully manicured gardens to walk around with ample seating to take in the views. The accommodation itself was clean with all the amenities that we needed, It’s close enough to walk into town, with plenty of cafes, restaurants and bakeries to choose from you are spoilt for choice. We had a lovely, peaceful stay in beautiful Healesville. We will definitely stay there again in the future.

Caroline was very responsive to our messages and we were easily able to increase the number of guests after booking. Ralph was very friendly and helpful on arrival. The room was totally spotless, quiet and comfortable! We will definitely be back
