The room was very spacious, tidy, clean and comfortable. Truth be told I can't think of anything to really critique. It's clear that those responsible for maintaining the accommodation show great care in their work to deliver a very pleasant experience.

Close to town where there are plenty of cafes and restaurants, and an easy drive to top wineries and other scenic tourist attractions. The host, Ralph, was extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating, allowing us to check in early. The accommodation was spotless, with a coffee pod machine with milk frother and a variety of pods. The beds were comfortable, and plenty of space for couples travelling together. The cottage had both heating and cooling as well as a double garage, which was great as we were travelling in separate cars. The area was peaceful and quiet with the most noise coming from inquisitive parrots and other birds local to the area. We’d highly recommend staying at Yarra Gables!

We stayed alt Yarra Gables for the last night of out trip from Perth before heading off to the airport the following morning and the service and room were both perfect. The room was spotlessly clean and the little details like tea and coffee as well as milk and complimentary local chocolates in the fridge didn't go unnoticed. The meticulously manicured garden with its many well positioned seating areas allowed for a great opportunity to enjoy a cold beverage while watching the sun set over the horizon. We highly recommend Yarra Gables and would certainly stay there again.

Clean, quiet, and the most gorgeous gardens I’ve seen. Definitely more of a B&B vibe. Love the rose garden and the little touches everywhere. Room itself had everything required and the individual make up removal wipes were a great idea! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful place to stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Yarra Gables! The location is fantastic—centrally located with easy access to shops and cafes, making it convenient. Great parking available, the rooms were very clean, with great attention to detail that made the space feel homely yet spacious. Ralph was very accommodating and attentive, always available via message to help with anything we needed. Check-in and check-out were seamless and hassle-free. It’s also a very family-friendly spot, with beautiful rose gardens, ducks and a lovely play area for kids. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would definitely return for another visit. Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable!

We were very happy to stay overnight at Yarra Gables Motel in Healesville, Ralph the manager of the property was very hospitable, from the start to the end he wanted to make sure that everything was in order. We appreciate the good service he had given to us. What was very eye catching and impressive of the motel was the beautiful garden. It looks amazing, there were so many beautiful plants and flowers in the garden, it was also nicely decorated with various type of pretty chairs and tables. The room was very spacious and clean, Inside, it has got a kitchenette which was very handy. I will recommend to stay in Yarra Gables and if we have a chance to stay in Yarra Valley area, we will come back to stay in Yarra Gables.

Christmas celebration with our family of 16. Fabulous location, luxurious cottages and spacious motel units. Lovely gardens and perfect grass area for customary cricket match. Cottage 3 hosted 5 family members, 2 x 2 bedroom family units ideal for 2 families, studio unit hosted 2 x teenagers. The cottage provided the perfect space to gather for our traditional Christmas meals, and the comfortable outside deck was a bonus. The cottage hosts a large refrigerator, functional and efficient stove and oven, well appointed in regard to crockery, cutlery and glassware. Everything was well used and made entertaining easy and a convenient. Beds were comfortable and linen fresh and of excellent quality. Fluffy white towels added to a luxe experience. Thank you Ralph for your support and friendly assistance, nothing was too much trouble, truly a wonderful host. Ralph’s understanding of our requirements guaranteed a very successful family Christmas celebration. We would recommend Yarra Gables as the perfect accommodation to visit this beautiful area. Jenny and family.
