My hubby and 3 kids stayed in one of the family room on our weekend to Sovereign Hill. The room was basic but clean and comfortable. It had a TV on both levels (for kids and upstairs in the parent room) which we loved. The friendly service was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was excellent and... More

Booked a family room through Wotif. We were able to check in at 11am and were delighted with the room as it had 3 single beds and a kitchenette on the ground level and a Queen bed and bathroom upstairs (including a TV on each level). My husband and I used the $20 voucher towards a delicious buffet breakfast. Location... More

This venue is in a lovely setting and is well mantained from the outside, but the the insides of the rooms are a bit shabby. The whole room was out of date, the bathroom was half renoved in different styles, with the un-renovated part missing grout and generally just looking dirty, and there was a large stain in the polish...
