Chateau Yering

Stayed here overnight with a friend who is a regular and it was okay. Some staff very helpful others surly. Room big but too many dust collecting soft furnishings. Breakfast average. On departure I had left a small light item behind. Rang and asked for it to be posted and I would pay. The response was I had to send a prepaid tracked envelope which I did. Then nothing. The phones are constantly down and although I have been told twice my request is being a tio ed still no sign of my belongings. I wish I had lost it than go through these endless hoops to no outcome. Basically any out of the ordinary issue seems to create a tailspin. Love the Yarra but won’t be going back to this place. Chateau Faulty Towers would be a better name.

We were late arriving and Phil was most helpful, albeit the restaurant was closed. Check beforehand especially in winter. We however got some wine and a log fire. The bedroom was great - large and very comfortable, especially the bed. Not a fully cooked breakfast, but fine fruits, toasties, muffins & croissants etc. The staff were all very pleasant & helpful. We gave it 5 not because it was a 5 star hotel (it’s not), but it was very pleasant.

Opulent interiors, well appointed rooms, sumptuous fare, sprawling grounds and magnificent views- a serene and romantic place for a cosy getaway.

Unfortunately the property and service requires work and refinement. Still a quiet and beautiful surrounds. Have stayed a few times, but this time noticed unclean furniture, stained quilts, little to no in-room mini-bar and dinner was inconsistent. It’s a shame as this beautiful property had such a wonderful reputation. Happy to revisit in future should the work be put into it again.

We really enjoyed our stay with Chateau Yering. The buildings are magnificent and so quiet. Beautiful high ceilings, deep bath, large shower,heated towel rails, comfy room, happy service for meals, loved the devonshire tea, room was large enough for King or Queen bed, a table with 3 chairs, a double seated sofa and single sofa, fridge, TV (albeit small from the distance to the bed), lovely lighting, doors to the outdoors for sitting if you wished (a bit cold to do so when we went), woke up to thick mist which was great. Nice grounds to walk through, including a the Chateau Yering Station where there are large vats for wine etc). Overall a wonderful place to stay and experience. We highly recommend.
