A rather wonderful oasis with both fine dining and wine tasting onsite, both of which we enjoyed very much. The room was also very nice. Reception staff attention to detail and knowledge was middling so recommend that the management consider actions there.

We stayed here with another couple for a relaxing weekend in the Yarra valley. The location is amazing, beautiful views and an amazing team and restaurant. We enjoyed the 3 course dinner and the food is sublime. The wine matching to the meals was top notch and we will definitely be back. Thanks Balgownie.

A Perfect Family Getaway at Balgownie Estate! We had a wonderful time staying at Balgownie Estate with our family. The location is peaceful and surrounded by beautiful vineyards and rolling hills — perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable for us and our kids. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We loved the on-site restaurant — the food was delicious, and they had great options for both adults and children. There were plenty of things to do nearby, including wineries, chocolate and cheese shops, and fun outdoor activities for the kids. We especially enjoyed the hot air balloon views in the morning and the stunning sunsets in the evening. Highly recommend for families looking for a relaxing Yarra Valley experience with a touch of luxury!

Lack of soundproofing in the rooms unfortunately took away from being able to wind down & relax. It was if the walls were paper thin. We could hear a whole family of people in the rooms below us speaking loudly & playing games up until after 12midnight. The staff were wonderful

Beautiful setting Mida the vineyards

Very nice setting with view of the vineyard’s. We had a one bedroom suite and the room was very spacious and modern with a well furnished minibar and view over the garden. We had diner at the restaurant which was delicious with open show kitchen. Little things could be improved, like the use of tablecloth. And they set up the buffet for the breakfast in the morning while we still bad diner, that was a bit weird. The breakfast buffet was amazing offering everything you could wish for.
