Pretty much as expected, middle of the road motel, nothing special, clean, tidy, standard breakfast, situated on the edge of a main road.

This is advertised as '4 star comfort' 'boutique feel' and is a good example how meaningless star ratings are. Nothing more than a checklist of features and definitely not a measure of quality. Tiny room, dated decor, awful bed, antique A/C system, noisy plumbing are but some of the features not listed.

After our first night we asked to cancel the booked (via wotif, never again) and paid for third night. Though obviously hesitant the owner agreed, we booked alternative accommodation in Melbourne only to return later in the day for him to have changed his mind, refusing to refund our final night. We cut our losses without hesitation and returned to our vastly superior (and cheaper) accommodation in Melbourne.

When a customer has booked through Wotif and wants to cancel during their stay, we need to speak to Wotif before responding to the customer.

Melba Lodge is very easy to find, a 5 minute walk from the centre of Yarra Glen, set back from the road to the north of the town. Everything was spotlessly clean, our room was not huge, but perfectly big enough. The ensuite came equipped with spa bath, with the option of a full-sized jacuzzi room just down the hall. There is a well equipped kitchen area for the use of guests.

Walking through the dining room there is a lounge area with a huge collection of DVD's for your convenience. Further down the hall is a conference/meeting room, and a bar complete with 3/4 size snooker table.

Outside are some very well kept gardens with a large patio area guests can use for BBQ's etc.

Melba Lodge is a B&B, and the breakfast was excellent. Full selection of cereals, juices, and of course a fry-up of your choice!

The owners are very friendly and will even give you a lift to local restaurants enabling you to have a drink and not worry about driving. A good job...
