We were more than pleasantly surprised with our two night stay at the Château. Staying in the original homestead we enjoyed a beautifully furnished room styled in the age and history of this hotel. Dinner at Eleanor’s restaurant was just brilliant. The food and service amongst the best fine dining I have experienced. 3 courses plus Canapés & house made bread (& house made butter to go with) were superb. Hiramasa kingfish, beetroot tortellini, beef cheek, pork loin & sumptuous desserts the orders for the day. Breakfast at Sweetwater Cafe each day was also a treat, again friendly and attentive staff once again looking after us. Without doubt this was the best value for money hotel we have stayed at in the Yarra Valley!

Situated in the Yarra Valley, historic Chateau Yering is simply beautiful. I returned to the hotel after 25 years and the house did not disappoint. The hotel has recently changed hands and I would like to thank the Hotel Manager and his team for their efforts to sort out any issues I experience. The De Castella room is stunning and has one of the most comfortable hotel beds I have ever slept in. As the hotel restaurant is not open everyday the room service lunch and dinner, were well presented, fresh and quite delicious! Breakfast is served in the delightful cafe and there is an extensive choice. I do not usually partake but as you can order until 10.30 I enjoyed an equally delicious "brunch" of eggs benedict. Members of staff Katy, Fiona, Tania and the housekeeping team, thank you. Hope to return again soon.

Wanting to explore the Yarra Valley we looked for a hotel with a pool. On arrival we discovered the pool was not in use due to maintenance. This was super disappointing as it was the only reason we chose this hotel considering the weather was hot and it should have been transparent on their website. There was no discount offered nor any form of compensation. Whilst looking at past reviews the pool has clearly been out of action for some time. The pool surrounds looked unkempt and it was filthy. Whilst the mansion was probably fabulous in its hey day, it is now very worn and in need of an update. Staff were rarely around, when checking in no one told us where or what time breakfast was or bookings for dinner or that there was a games room we could use. Verandah outside our room was really dirty with bird poo all over the table and chairs and floor, there is no way you could sit out there. Breakfast was ok and staff were friendly with great service, but the windows looking out to the garden were unclean. Views looking over ranges were amazing but you could get same views from another less expensive cleaner hotel that advertises a pool which actually is able to be used to swim in. Way over priced and left with a feeling that we were subjected to false advertising.

Had a wonderful stay at Chateau Yering, which was recommended by a friend. The relaxed ambience of the whole area was amazing, and you can’t help but feel yourself beginning to relax as soon as you walk through the beautiful gardens. Our room was huge with all the facilities that you require, gorgeous comfy bed, and lovely bathroom with a great bath which these days is a rarity. Everything was spotlessly clean. It was lovely and quiet throughout our stay. The house itself is really beautiful with elegant furnishings and stunning ceiling in the lounge area. Breakfasts were superb, and we had a lovely meal in the Restaurant, staff were able to accommodate us with a window table. All the staff that we met were lovely, especially the Manager who really went out of his way to ensure that our needs were met. Only gripe was that the Pool was out of action, something my husband was a little peeved about, but he got over it.. We were so relaxed we forgot about the dodgy Wi- fi, and the small TV gave us a bit of a giggle.

This place has so much going for it, I wanted to give it a 5/5. But unfortunately, there has been no love given to this majestic property for some time. I'm sure 6 yrs ago it would have been a 5+, but not now. Beautifully renovated historical rooms, and cloud-like beds can't cover up years of under investment. Beautiful views, but most windows covered in grim and dead bugs on the window sills. Neglected gardens, knee high grass in the area that one of the photos on their website was taken. Pool was closed due to dead bird...... tennis courts looked more like a nature reserve....... The restaurant is a lovely room, and the menu holds promise, but doesn't quite deliver. The huntsman spider in the bathroom off the restaurant really was a extra that wasn't needed, and the Trainee Manager trying to charge me $5777791 at check out was a bit of a concern. I really hope this beautiful property gets new owners who appreciate what an amazing opportunity Chateau Yering is and give it a chance to shine again. A quick improvement would be WiFi.

We often recommend our brides and grooms places to stay. Last nights couple arrived at your venue to no one. A key and a map were all that greeted them. They had to lug all their luggage up your stairs. Where is the night porter? The personal touch? No customer service what so ever! Ppl I told couldn’t believe it. Way to go to ruin a couples wedding night and you’re not cheap.

Definitely NOT a 5 star hotel. GOOD Beautiful building with the essence of times gone by. Lovely gardens and surrounding area Room was spacious and had everything you needed. My sister and I stayed in the Kaye Suite with a lovely balcony The night reception young guy was fabulous and showed us around inside. Sounds wonderful doesn't it? Read on.... BAD This is not a 5 star hotel! Reception feedback: Dreadful customer service from the reception lady. The first thing she said to me was that their new booking system did not charge my credit card and I had to pay there and then. No welcome speech, welcome to The Chateau, hope you had a good trip, nothing, except I had to pay! Also no directions to breakfast area or Eleanor's restaurant - nothing! Or even mention of our 7.30pm restaurant booking (not stayed here before so thought perhaps restaurant not part of hotel as she didnt mention anything). I was then given a room key and a map to our room (but had to return the map). There are a lot of rooms and corridors and apparently stairs (no mention of stairs when I booked and my sister finds it hard to walk up stairs but she managed - she had to as there was no alternative). If we wanted help with our luggage there is a luggage lift but to just let her know so we can get assistance. What! No assistance now but possibly later. After walking through the blue room, red room, green room, down several corridors, we came to 2 sets of very steep stairs! We were told first door on the right at top of stairs which corresponds with the map. But, that door didn't open and after several attempts tried the next room which opened. I think the first one was a cupboard! I don't remember the receptionist mentioning our room was labelled 'Kaye' Suite on the door. That would have helped! We were happy to have a balcony looking over the gardens (garden needs attention), but it was so filthy from leaves, dust and bird poop that our happiness was wilted. The kettle was a challenge to plug in as it only had a short cord and the powerpoint was at floor level. Took us awhile to work out the individual lamps and how to turn them off. You can't, as there is only one 'main' switch that turns everything on and off. So it's either all lights on or all lights off! Restaurant feedback: On-line booking confirmed for 7.30pm. Received a phone call from the restaurant at 7.05pm. Where are you, your booking was for 7pm. Sorry no my booking was for 7.30pm! No, we only do on the hour bookings! Ok sorry but I have a booking confirmation that confirms 7.30pm. Rudely he reiterated again they only do on the hour bookings. So we hurried down the stairs, well very slowly so we didnt break our necks on the hour! Tried to work out where the restaurant was and finally found it, it was the dining room blue, green or red room not sure which as I had to give the map back! I showed the head waiter the booking confirmation and he just made some sort of defensive remark. No apology given, again regarding their dodgy booking system. We ordered the 3 course meal which was $125pp. My sisters meals were nice but nothing to write home about. My main meal was pork and it was not cooked enough - when your knife doesn't cut through your meat there is something wrong. I didn't eat it as I didn't want worms (google undercooked pork). I mentioned to the head waiter that we didn't think the pork was cooked enough but again was given a defensive remark and that it was cooked correctly. By the time we sat down at the table and they had returned to take our order, it was after 7.30pm so we shouldn't have rushed for the on-hour start! Each course was delivered, eaten and replaced with the next course with record speed. We were out of there by 8.45pm. You know why we were sped through. The same restaurant staff were working the breakfast roster. No wonder they wanted us gone so they could go home and have a rest before the next shift. The Chateau at Yering is sadly very tired along with the staff. Very much understaffed. We were told new owners had taken over the hotel back in May 2023. Well they need more staff and better training and then perhaps your current staff might feel more appreciated and will be happier when they greet their guests. Such a beautiful place to stay but 'essence' of the by gone era just isn't enough. I always read the reviews before I commit to a venue. The hotel reviews on their website are 5* and wonderful only. Dig a bit deeper on other review platforms and the ratings are very poor indeed. The new owners have an opportunity to turn this venture into a proper 5 star rating but of course you have to invest more time and money from the top so the real workers feel valued and happier. I will only return when I read better reviews.

Great location but looks a lot better online than in reality. Lives on an image it can’t deliver. Has an antique old colonial look and interior which works reasonably well but poorly serviced by staff that are sparse and less than committed. Restaurant only open 3 days a week, Wi-Fi didn’t work in rooms. Focussed on weddings and functions rather than normal paying guests. Portrays an image of penny pinching and cost control, not what you would expect from the price or image. Some front of house staff definitely not customer facing. The outdoor pool is green, filthy and unkempt as are the tennis court.

Serious safety incident
We booked to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary, it was the first time away from our children for nearly six years, but sadly the night will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. Our visit began pleasant enough, my wife and I checked into the hotel on Saturday afternoon, and after a leisurely stroll around the gardens and adjoining winery, we retreated to our room to prepare for our dinner reservation in Elenore’s Restaurant. My wife went to shower, dried herself and put on a robe before attempting to dry her hair using the hotel provided hair dryer. Upon turning the hair dryer on, it exploded and caught fire, in a split second she used a towel to extinguish the fire but was left with flash burns to her arm and a serious burn to her wrist. On hearing the commotion, I rushed towards the bathroom to find my wife holding her arm and in shock. On realising the seriousness of the burn we immediately began to cool the burn under cool running water. After a number of minutes I moved her back into the main room at which time she burst out crying and was experiencing significant pain due to the burn, I went to seek help from the hotel staff at reception. I informed the reception staff member on duty that my wife had received a serious electrical burn from the hairdryer in the room and asked for assistance. The lady behind the counter led me to the freezer in the breakfast restaurant and provided one Anko (K-mart) branded small ice gel pack and an additional ice block. Despite the breakfast restaurant being a short distance from our room, the reception staff member made no effort to attend our room, nor did she offer to call for medical assistance. Shortly after obtaining the ice packs, I returned to reception to obtain a bandage to dress the wound. The same lady opened the first aid kit and said “take whatever you need”. Again, and despite me showing a photograph of the injury to the reception staff member, no offer was made to call an ambulance or doctor. I returned to our room with the bandages to attend to my wife’s injuries. After dressing the wound we attended dinner, in hindsight I am not quite sure how we actually got to dinner, my wife was certainly in shock, I think I was too. On returning to our room at approximately 10pm, the smell of burning skin and electrics was still very evident, however the room was freezing cold. I again attended reception and advised that the air conditioning was not working, the same lady at reception advised that the electric shock would have triggered the safety switch and that she needed to go and turn it back on. Shortly after, the reception staff member knocked on the door of our room to enquire if the heating was working - I cannot believe that the hotel would turn the electricity back on without even checking the area first to ensure that it was safe! During the course of the night, my wife woke many times and took pain killer medication, of which we were fortunate to have in our possession. Needless to say, our special, much anticipated, night away was ruined, I am amazed that reception staff failed to attend our room or offer medical assistance. Rather than having a leisurely afternoon in the Yarra Valley the following day, we instead left the hotel and sort medical treatment immediately after checkout. It's now more than two weeks since our horror visit to this hotel and my wife still describes her injury as "agony". We have told many family & friends about our experience, of which one commented that the burn to my wife's wrist was not a contact burn, but an exit point due of the electrocution - the comment went further, saying that if my wife had have been touching her other arm at the time, she could have been killed because the electric current would not have had an exit point! Despite two emails to the hotel following our horror stay, we are yet to receive a response from the hotel.

Beautiful old hotel and the rooms are done in the same old world decor. We stayed in a Melba Suite and loved it The only negative was that even though it was a ground floor suite with a little verandah and lovely courtyard view, we couldn't open any window (there isn't one) nor the French doors. We like to get fresh air during the night but there are no insect screens and so presumably that's why the doors are locked. Seems a shame that you can't go out on your verandah. Other than that, it was just wonderful.
