Delicious Dining Experience

Our dinner at Rae's restaurant was a superb three-course meal. We enjoyed the beautiful views of the vines as we dined, and every dish we tried was absolutely delicious. The quality of food was equal to any five-star restaurant we've visited. A highlight was the friendly service that made the experience even more enjoyable.

Impressive Room Features

The Deluxe Spa Suite was spacious, clean, and offered amazing views across the valley, which only enhanced our experience. The large circular spa bath was perfect for soaking in after a day of exploration. I truly appreciated the comfort of the huge bed too.

Great Entertainment Options

The suite featured a TV with on-demand movies, which was a lovely touch. After a long day, being able to relax and enjoy a movie was just what we needed. It added that extra element of comfort to our stay, making it truly enjoyable.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the accommodations were spacious and well-furnished, the service left a lot to be desired. The location is beautiful, surrounded by vines, but getting around without a car was a challenge. Dining was hit or miss, and overall, I think there are better options in the area for a relaxing stay.

Balgownie Estate is a beautiful resort with some truly stunning views, spacious rooms, and excellent dining options. The Segway tour around the winery and the hot air balloon ride were absolute highlights of our stay. However, there were some issues with room cleanliness and service that were disappointing and could be improved upon. Overall, it's a great getaway, just be aware of a few shortcomings.

I had a lovely weekend at the hotel, which is conveniently located just a short drive from Healesville and surrounded by beautiful wineries. The spacious room featured a kitchenette and a nice balcony, but the lack of warmth in the bedroom was a bit disappointing. Overall, it’s a comfortable stay, though for a romantic getaway, I might suggest looking elsewhere.
