Needs to sort out access & better signage & lights
Arrived Good Friday and the reception wasnt manned and we were locked outside with no instructions how to access the hotel. I called the telphone number on the reception door inside (another couple let us in to the actual building but we were stuck in the hallway) a key code was then sent to us. This relied on having phone battery which I had been low on after travelling. They couldnt message be before hand as it was a UK number??? I found it alittle disconcerting and if I was a lone traveller I wouldnt have been happy. Also totally screwed if our phones disnt have signal/battery. I was in another annex and if you arrived in the dark then it didnt look part of the hotel. It needs lights, you litterally go through a shared carpark and through a garden gate. No signage or lights very very poor. Once inside the room it was quite nice.
It is a boutique hotel and very beautiful. We were disappointed with the hospitality as there we no people in reception and it was all closed off - you could only get to your room. Even though it said bar and restaurant, they were not open and we had to find somewhere else to eat. They served cold breakfast, which was nice. The yoghurt and croissants were amazing. Had the bar been open it would have been a totally different experience. Bairnsdale seemed pretty dead and hard to find somewhere to eat but we found a Thai restaurant around the corner from the hotel and that was very nice.
Check in/out is digital with reception closed
Being unable to access the main building directly from the out building was inconvenient.
Digital door entry is problematic for some guests (I was woken overnight by a drunk couple yelling/swearing as they were unable to open the external door)
Late complimentary breakfast on weekends which meant I was unable to partake due to timing of work commitments.
Location was very good. Close to shops, Walk along the river.
Disappointing that the restaurant was closed but we ate at the Thai around the corner. Very good.
We always find that the bed is too hot with a doona.
Blankets are not as convenient but a lot more comfortable

Beautiful residence however very noisy and needs renovation, especially the carpets.
It was disappointing that the bar and restaurant were closed and the lights from the car park to our rooms weren’t on it had a beautiful area outside but because the part lights weren’t on we were not able to sit outside at night and enjoy the garden and swing
No reception, find your own room. Directions were poor, room is at the top of the external staircase. No mention of the fact that there are two external staircases. Easy to fix.
Room was okay, very clean and quiet. Bathroom very small. The toast and cereal breakfast was good. Good fresh coffee from the easy to use machine. Good fruit and yogurt.
On their website there are wonderful pictures of their bar. It is alluring. Looks really good and classy. Was looking forward to having a drink on the delightful adjoining garden terrace. Not only was the bar shut all through our Easter stay, it was locked away so we could not use the adjacent sitting rooms either.
We were very disappointed. The website lies, that alluring bar is not available. If the reason was outside their control they could have texted us and offered a discount but nothing. The website says that you get a wonderful bar, you don’t, the website lies.
