No contact with staff - no reception office. All transaction done by phone or online. Building and public areas in terrible condition. Room was very drab and in a poor state. Overpriced for what was on offer. Two nights of hell. BEWARE.

Great value for short stay
1 bedroom apartment was good for
Our family of 2 adults and 2 kids but unfortunately sofa bed in the lounge
Room is broken and terrible to sleep on. Needs to be replaced asap. Amenities were good and everything you need for a night away. Breakfast was good and something for everyone. Overall great value

It is a boutique hotel and very beautiful. We were disappointed with the hospitality as there we no people in reception and it was all closed off - you could only get to your room. Even though it said bar and restaurant, they were not open and we had to find somewhere else to eat. They served cold breakfast, which was nice. The yoghurt and croissants were amazing. Had the bar been open it would have been a totally different experience. Bairnsdale seemed pretty dead and hard to find somewhere to eat but we found a Thai restaurant around the corner from the hotel and that was very nice.

Ok, but overpriced and ver old
My review would have been much better, if the room rate and presentation was aligned with its actual condition.
Pictures do not match the actual condition of the hotel. Maybe it did 30 years ago. But the place is very run down.
I paid for a spacious room and cleaning was good taken the condition of the place into concern. But everything is old - incl. furniture which needed deep throughout cleans.
There was a nice cleaning lady one of the days, who cleaned up my self inflicted messy room. That was nice of her.
I wouldn’t have booked the hotel if I had read the reviews beforehand. I can only confirm.

No reception. Grotty. Poorly maintained premises. Very small bathroom in suites. Cheap, damaged furniture. Frayed carpets.

Check in/out is digital with reception closed
Being unable to access the main building directly from the out building was inconvenient.
Digital door entry is problematic for some guests (I was woken overnight by a drunk couple yelling/swearing as they were unable to open the external door)
Late complimentary breakfast on weekends which meant I was unable to partake due to timing of work commitments.
