雅伶古堡飯店(Chateau Yering)

It appears the owners of this “once high-end” property have lost complete interest in their guests. It’s run down, dirty, very poor if any attention from staff. We stayed in the top-end room. The view was beautiful over the Yarra Valley but that was the only positive experience we had. A 24” TV with most free-to-air channels not working is below standard. There was a DVD player and DVD’s could be borrowed from reception but they were from the 80s and 90’s. You’d expect more for a $500+ per night room which wasn’t cleaned properly. The pool was green with algae. A shadow of its past glory.

We had a lovely stay but there were a few areas that need attention. I felt like the rooms needed a bit more attention, eg, cracks in walls, dirty marks, unwiped desk areas with rings from old coffee cups, sagging mattress. Also breakfast was tasty but fairly small portions. It’s a premium price so should be perfect. It is however, a beautiful building and the common areas are beautifully decorated!

We had a 2 night stay for a birthday celebration. After dinner we sat in the drawing room in front of a roaring fire which was magical after we had enjoyed a 3 course meal which was really delicious. Breakfast was also plentiful and delicious. 2nd night stay in the room was disappointing as the heating was not working and the room was really cold, we advised management which they gave us a blow heater which did the trick, The premises is dated but old worldly, we were advised a change of ownership 3 months ago will have future changes to the property. We would be interested to return in 12 months time to see what improvements have happened.

This was once a beautiful property. I even had my daughter’s wedding here but now terribly tired. Needs a lot of money spent to completely renovate. Could be made into something magnificent again.

Great hotel and location. The system was down when we arrived but the staff rallied with a smile to get people into rooms.

Absolutely gorgeous stately mansion, beautiful garden and the breakfast area and the breakfast was superb. Shame we only stayed for a night.

We enjoyed our stay at the property but the dinner at the restaurant was really disappointing. Way overpriced the first course was amazing but they brought a jug and didn’t pour the whole thing for everyone I just wanted more. Next 2 courses were almost inedible and the main meal was tiny had good flavour but only 4 tiny pieces of beef, the dessert was also pour. My wife did a matched wine pairing and was unhappy with all the wine choices. I was still hungry when I left, pretentiousness food not worth it.

Beautiful place and excellent outlook from my room.

Beautiful rooms, lovely guest service and very helpfull
