We were married at Chateau Yering 25 years ago and return regularly for a night's stay, which is always a delight. We love the rooms and the breakfast at Sweetwater Cafe, as well as the attentive staff. We always enjoy a game of backgammon in the Library too, but this time we couldn't get a drink at the bar at 7:30 pm as there were no staff onsite.

I had a lovely stay at Chateau Yering Hotel. A warm welcome from Annie at Reception, a spotless and lovely room, very friendly and helpful house-keeping staff, and Jennifer in the Sweetwater Cafe makes an excellent coffee. I think Eleonore's Restaurant is at present only open for dinner on Wednesday evenings but plenty of restaurants not far away in Lilydale, and Yarra Glen township is only about 5 minutes from Chateau Yering. For lunch there is the Yering Station restaurant right next door to Chateau Yering.
Highly recommended.

On arrival, as reception closed, there was no guidance as to where to find the room key. Luckily, akitchen staff member was there to help. Bedroom suite needs attention. Old fashioned furniture and historic decor does not guarantee 5 star status. Hotel standard actually shy of 4 star status. Vineyard irrelevant to quality of stay. Curtains jammed and not fixed despite 2 requests. Noise of fridge motor amplified by the stylish wooden cupboard in which it was placed. It woke us up every time the motor cut in at night. Numerous lage spiders and webs in hallway, bathroom and bedroom on arrival. I removed them and glad to see that the big ones were non poisonous huntsman spiders. TV screen too small and was fitted in the same cupboard as the fridge. Cockroach or similar beetle kept re-entering room through french windows. Wifi hopeless forcing me to exit the building to deal with important emails - luckily it didn't rain. The only positive aspect that stopped me giving an overall lower score was the warmth and friendliness of the reception and dinning room staff. Melinda and Tash were especially attentive in the dining room and the kitchen staff are to be praised for the taste and quality of the meals. It is a pity the rest of the stay did not match up to the dining room experience.

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at Chateau Yering Hotel which exceeded expectations. The room was large and beautiful with a huge double bath and views of the property. We sat in the Drawing Room in the afternoon and were offered Devonshire tea which was excellent. We then enjoyed a wine tasting at the nearby Yering Station (1 minute walk) and came back for happy hour drinks which were accompanied by historical tales of the place and amazing cocktails to match the era we spoke about by the open fire. Finally we finished the day with a delicious dinner at Eleanore’s Restaurant.

I stayed here with my bridesmaids the night before my wedding and it was honestly magical. The hotel and the surrounding views were absolutely stunning, it felt like we were tucked away in the most beautiful little corner of the world.

The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special, even giving us the best seats in the restaurant with a gorgeous view. We were able to spot kangaroos right from our room too, which made the whole experience feel so fun and serene.

There were so many emotions the night before the big day, but being in such a peaceful, beautiful place made everything feel calm and meaningful. I’d go back in a heartbeat, this place will always hold a special spot in my heart.

Non existence service or regard for your particular situation. While booking I did not realise that this winery could have rooms on higher levels too, the website does not mention that the rooms can be on higher floor with no access to lift. We had to drag our bags to the first floor and it was not something I wanted to do. But there was no other option or even empathy shown to understand that the knee injury could be aggravated. It’s an old building which has its own charm but the staircase is horrendous if you have bags. You go to the reception, via the restaurant, 3 stairs down then 3 stairs up and then via lounge you reach the horribly lit horrendous staircase. There were lots of cleaners who saw us struggling with the bags but just didn’t exchange an eye contact lest they got to help. I could have paid for a bell service if only they had one. Just bad inexperienced receptionist with long nails spoilt my mood and experience. I would have loved to have dinner at the restaurant but just didn’t want to engage with uncouth lady at the reception.

Lovely old world property. Large, spacious rooms. Lots of lovely spots throughout the property to enjoy a wine or tea and scones.

Think grand old bed and breakfast. If you want to be taken back to a simpler time with beautiful details, this is for you. Mod cons are not the go here but I can’t say I missed it.

The staff were lovely. There is not much information in the room about the property so engage with the staff. Our room was refreshed on request during our 3 night stay.

We had some issues with the in room safe. Staff were prompt to respond and very polite, engaging and funny.

Dinner on site is a must! The formal dining room is beautiful and dinner is a class act.

We were treated to a free tasting at the adjoining cellar door. A must do experience with passionate and lovely staff.

All in all Chateau Yering is a lovely property that must be experienced. Do keep in mind you stay there specifically for the old world nature of the property.

Highly recommend! Thank you to all the staff for their hospitality.

Unfortunately we didn't have a very good experience. On our late arrival home, we were looking forward to a good night's sleep. When we hopped in to the bed my partner discovered that his side of the bed was wet, so he pulled back the sheet the discovered that the mattress protector and the mattress were also wet. He had to take a shower as we were unaware if they were bodily fluids left from the previous guest the night before. My partner ended up sleeping on the couch for the night as this was our only option. Upon check out we were informed that someone would contact us, this hasn't been the case. I have also sent an email that hasn't had a reply and I have left a voice message asking them to return my call, still nothing.

Disappointing

The room was large and lovely, especially the bathroom. The balcony could have been an excellent addition, however it was covered in bird poo, including the balistrade and chairs and table. It didn't look like it had been cleaned for some time.
We had dinner at the restaurant. The food was very good. The service was polite but inefficient and amateur. We were served a different (more expensive) bottle of wine than the one we ordered. We felt rushed to move on to the next course. The staff didn't seem to be communicating with each other.
Then came check out! I felt as if we were in an episode of Fawlty Towers. The woman had little idea how to operate the EFT terminal and kept us waiting while she tried to understand the invoice, then we were overcharged (later corrected).
This could be a beautiful hotel, but it is tired and run down and in deep need of maintenance and some management skills.

What am I paying all this money for one nights accommodation for?

The property definitely exudes the luxury of days long gone. It’s charming as are the staff. Breakfast is lovely. However the dinner was greatly overrated and overpriced. We felt it tried too hard at being innovative, but missed the mark. The lamb was too fatty and the miso sauce of the salmon was far too salty. Disappointing.

You can present it fancy but a tiny piece of beef on mash and a flavourless dessert for $170 for two people is just price gouging.
The two staff we managed to find in the hotel to speak to were abrupt and dismissive.
