Just returned from my 4th stay at Graebern Lodge in 18 months. I cant speak highly enough of the service the wonderful owners of this beautiful establishment provide. Not only is the accommodation luxurious and filled with creature comforts, but its the little touches that make so much difference. I recently left some jewellery at the residence and contacted the owners to see if they could try and locate it for me. Not only did they find my jewellery where I had left it, they packaged it up and sent it to me via registered mail without even a request! From the freshly baked bread, to the choccies and breakfast, not to mention the beautiful views and walks, this is a must visit establishment. Cant wait for October when I'll be back!

We wanted two rooms to stay for a night near Ballarat, and while Graebern isn't cheap, staying in their two-bedroom suite (which looks precisely like the website) worked out much better than booking two anonymous motel rooms. You'll never even see the owners if you stay here, but there's breakfast in the fridge, bread in the machine and chocolate and a flask of port by the door. The kitchen is remarkably well equipped, the beds are comfy, the jacuzzi is (just) big enough for two, and it's a short hop to the center of Buninyong for supermarkets and places to eat.

Downsides: dishwasher was broken, so we had to do the washing up by hand, and the soundproofing isn't too great -- we could clearly hear the guests upstairs. The totally hands-off management approach also means that resolving any problems would be hard.

We had the surprise of some lovely bread baking for us when we arrived. We found it very clean and everything we needed. lovely and quiet. Thankyou! Take your bikes...only 10 ks into Ballarat along a bike path.

We spent our wedding night at this Bed & Breakfast and would highly recommend it to any one. The unit was clean and welcoming, they had even put the air conditioners on for us as it was close to 40 degrees that day. They had fresh bread baking in the bread maker and a lovely range of breakfast foods for the next morning. Upstairs the main room was lovely with complimentary choccies and port for us to enjoy and the bed was huge and really comfy- and we even had PayTv in the bedroom. Overall a lovely place to stay and relax after a big wedding day
