“Comfortable and clean...however....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2011

Stayed here overnight 9 Dec as attending a nearby wedding....handy location.....checkin was smooth, room tho small was fine for an overnight stop....smallish stand alone wardrobe, tv sitting on top had great reception, bathroom was compact but shower was great and plenty of hot water (a must)....QS bed was very comfy....parking at the back of property was ok, however I'd suggest that the owners need to trim the extremely overgrown shrubs/trees overhanging the driveway as cars could get easily scratched.......we were late back from wedding and unfortunately our key only gave us access via the back door....and trying to tiptoe down this 'overgrown' driveway and in complete darkness on uneven gravel was not easy....(how bout a sensor light for guests).....breakfast was in a largish area at the end of hallway, a number of tables to choose from. -had choice of fresh fruits and yoghurt, cereals, juice.....and a hot meal......unfortunately we weren't given a 'choice' of anything hot......I asked about bacon/eggs and was told "how would u like them" and that was it......I am sure I saw other guests who had tomato, baked beans on they're plate (apologies if i'm wrong david).....perhaps a small 'menu' of options would have been a good idea........we assumed it was 'help yourself' at b/fast...there was no sign or anyone around to say "go for it' or 'wait'!!! coffee was plunger, plenty of jams to choose from....It would also have been nice to hear a "good morning' or "hello, how are you", rather than just nothing from the owners.....perhaps some background music as ourselves and guests seemed to be conscious of the 'silence' and therefore whispering to each other..... being picky perhaps.....Mmmm...... I'd stay at melba lodge again, tho keep in mind you are on the main highway, so there will be traffic noise..........

Room Tip: Depends on your price range.....we got a good deal of room/breakfast for approx $150...

“Quiet, clean and nice!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2011

We enjoyed our stay at Melba Lodge. The property is well maintained and spacious. The rooms are nice, clean in old style furniture and so is the bathroom.

I'd surely suggest anyone to stay there.


Cheers,
Roberto.

“Great value, great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2011

We stayed at Melba Lodge on 9 Oct 2011 and it was great value for money. David was very pleasant and a good breakfast cook. The premises are clean and comfortable. Would be happy to stay there again if we were down that way.

“This is what I was looking for!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

I stayed at Melba Lodge for one night while on work in Victoria

Melba Lodge is exactly the reason I need to stay in B&B accommodation more often and big hotel chains less often!

I was met by the owner who could not have been more friendly. The property is well laid out and really has all the features you could want in order to relax and enjoy the Yarra Valley. As my stay was a mid week stay, I had the place to myself, but in no way did I ever feel that I was treated any differently to if the place had been full.

My room, while small and basic, was well appointed and comfortable, and I'd certainly stay there again.

The only comment I'd make of any negative nature was that the airconditioner was quite noisy.

“Delightful friendly and flexible.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2011

We had a wonderful time at Melba Lodge. Our family, consisting of Parents and five grown up children, some with husband/wife and 5 grandkids spent 6 nights at Melba Lodge. We booked out 4 queen rooms, the penthouse and the cottage. The building has a real country charm about it. The owners generously gave us a great discount on booking such a large group. We arrived on a cold winter's day. Heaters were on in every room ( much appreciated by us Queenslanders ) and the venue was warm and cosy. The beds were quite comfortable and breaky every day was delicious. Our family was delighted to be able to get together frequently in the conference room and to play billiards together each night. Our hosts David and Helen were extremely accommodating and every little thing we requested was attended to happily - even down to printing up some tickets we booked online on our computers. Having lots of family living in the area, we really appreciated being able to have children down for the night and have family drop in to spend time with us. The venue was plenty large to manage our then-extended family.
Thanks to David and Helen. We'll be back. What a lovely time we all had.
