“Terrible accommodation - exorbitant tarrifs”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2010

people found this review helpful

Have just returned from a romantic evening away with my partner which was spoiled by the terrible accommodation at Mount Ophir Estate.
We were met by the owners on arrival and shown to our 'spa suite' which looked ok until we opened the door and were confronted with something that looked like it was dragged out of the early 80's. Think calico, grey/blue carpet, small floral prints etc which could have been bearable had the whole room not smelt of dust. The towels smelt unwashed as did the bed linen. Our toiletries included a bar of old soap and half a bottle of radox!
The owners then took us on a tour of the neglected property and explained that they did morning teas for bus tours. I can't imagine anyone would want to eat scones and cream amongst what looked like a garage sale setup in the old winery.
It is such a shame because the property could be magnificent if you have a spare million to bring it into the 21st century.
We paid $170 for the night - absolutely ridiculous!!! Would rather have camped in the rain.

“Don't Go There”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2010

We were unfortunate enough to book the Gatehouse, which was a self contained property advertised as a fully renovated Victorian house. On one website it mentioned 'elegant ambience'. Where do we start? The linen was so old, my dogs have better towels! There was used soap in every bathroom and the beds were very ordinary. One double room had a cot in it. How romantic? There was no garden to speak of and dead mouse lay strewn about. The live ones scurried around the house all night, which is not surprising as the chook shed with 2 roosters backs onto the house.The crockery was a mismatch and the furniture was not elegant , just tacky and faded. The cost was exhorbitant. We have stayed in Europe for better. I approached the owners and am awaiting a response for compenation.
