Situated in Daylesford, The Albert Hotel features free WiFi in public areas and free private parking.

We stayed in Room 5 at the Albert Hotel. The property had all the amenities we needed. I expected the room to be a bit bigger when we first got there but actually it was sufficient for our needs. We were surprised there was a little fridge with tea and coffee facilities as this wasn’t listed on your website, but I was very pleased to see it there. The fridge was just enough to store a couple of things in it for the night. And milk was provided for a nice cuppa in the morning which was a bonus :) Unfortunately the bathroom and ceiling fan lights weren’t working when we arrived but a quick call to the staff rectified this promptly. The shower has very good water pressure and the claw foot bath was divine and so relaxing :) I really like the spaciousness of the bathroom. There was a stool, a chair, a towel rack, the toilet, decent sized basin, claw foot bath and shower over bath all in the one room. The border tiling was also magnificent :) I really liked the period features of this hotel, and the separate bath was great and worked well :) We preferred that to having the ensuite bathroom. It would be handy to have a door going from the bedroom to the bathroom just for added privacy, but it wasn't really that big a deal and it's literally 3 steps down the corridor to get to the bathroom anyways. The contactless check in process was very easy, and I am very grateful that we were able to have a later check out as well. Thankyou for an enjoyable stay :)

Boasting a spa bath, Spa Suites at RAVEN is situated in Hepburn Springs. The property has garden and quiet street views, and is 48 km from Ballarat Train Station.

The seclusion and intimate ambience of this phenomenal retreat made our Wedding weekend so fulfilling. Romantic decor is classy and there’s serenity one abundance. So much comfort and privacy in an idyllic bush land location. Jo is a supreme host who did everything to ensure our stay was the best possible - she sets the Gold standard by which all others should be compared. Nothing was too much trouble for her. If you’re looking for a romantic escape location then seriously consider this. Exceptional value is offered. Wish we could rate Jo and her venue higher. Thank you so much Jo. David & Lisa

    The breakfast was great - who doesn’t love a good Bircher muesli and local breads. Location was close enough to everything. Loved the balcony to enjoy the winter sun with the newspaper or a good book. Brian was a great host with local insights and recommendations.

    The room was functional & spotlessly clean. Great bathroom. Whilst this is a room with a spacious ensuite, in the private home of a young family, for one night it is fine. The room is situated at the front of the home in a self contained area. On street parking is available in front of property. Good communication from the owner with clear directions and entry instructions (but did not see the owner). Cupboard with kettle, bar fridge, microwave, tea/coffee & crockery. Good wifi. Secure entrance.
