Absolutely great little stay. We stayed in the duchess suite, was great size, super clean and had a great little outdoor area.
It’s across the road from the shops and cafes of Olinda, but was still really quiet.
Michelle was really nice, showed us around and made us fell very welcome.
My only disappointment was that I didn’t book a few more nights, I’ll remember that for my next stay.
Highly recommend!
Thanks

I had a wonderful experience staying in The Victorian Suite at The Loft in the Mill. Beautiful decor in a charming old building. Everything you need for a basic complimentary breakfast is provided, as well as complimentary items including toothbrushes & slippers! Staff are very polite and friendly. I'd definitely recommend a stay here if you want to relax and unwind in a beautiful part of Victoria with native bird songs all around. It is also located close to local shops, cafe's restaurants and parklands. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I'm sure I'll return again soon!

My husband, Joseph and I had a wonderful one night stay at The Loft In The Mill. The weekend coincided with my milestone birthday, and to my complete surprise, the wonderful team at the Loft, made it all the more special with a birthday message, a box of chockies and some sparkling. Such a generous and wonderful gesture. Thank you!

Provisions for breakfast were lovely and worked perfectly for us. We loved the delightful courtyard with our room and of course the spa bath in our room was excellent. The grounds at The Loft are just delightful and the town of Olinda is very pleasant and full of friendly excellent places for coffee and food.

A lovely cozy stay!

Loved our one night stay at this hotel! We stayed in the Hathaway suite. Super comfortable and cozy, there was a fireplace (although we didn't use it), an AC for cooling or heating, a jetted spa, a separate bathroom with shower and toilet, fridge, plenty of cutlery & crockery.
Check-in and check-out were easy. Free parking. Comfy couch and bed. It's part of a strip of shops so it's only a 2 minute walk to cafes and restaurants. 10 min walk to Dandenong Botanic Garden. Would absolutely stay here again :)

A super cute boutique inn in the middle of the most beautiful town. Close to amazing bush walking. The room was very clean, and full of unique furniture. The building is full of character. The staff were friendly. Our only issue was the WIFI did not work, and when we called it in, we were told that it happens often and that the whole building was out. So if your trip relies on WIFI access be aware. But for a beautiful relaxing stay at a unique property that is not your run of the mill hotel, this place will satisfy.

It was our anniversary, and they had written a note saying Happy Anniversary to us on the mirror.

The King Arthur Suite was cosy and comfortable for our wedding anniversary. We found our room to be nice and cool for the extreme hot weather we had on the labour day long weekend. There were nice little touches like chocolates, some breakfast provisions in the fridge and an anniversary message on the mirror. The little courtyard was private and served us well for our breakfast mornings. We took full advantage of the next door day spa and had a couples massage which was to die for. The only negative thing we would report is the tiny basin in the bathroom, which meant we got water everywhere each time we used it and the poor lighting in there. We would love to go back in the future and stay in the Hathaway Suite. The staff were very accommodating and inviting.

The staff at The Loft In The Mill where very efficient and super warm and friendly.
However, we stayed in the Tudor room and the bed needs replacing. I understand the bed style suits the character of the room but it makes very loud harsh creaks when you simply move / roll over in the bed or even delicately sit on it. It feels like it is bowed in the middle.
I would definitely stay at The Loft In the Mill again however not in the Tudor room.

Our Overnight Stay-The Loft in the Mill !

Had a lovely stay at the Loft In the Mill Boutique Accommodation. Room was very comfortable indeed and the bed was so very lovely we had a fabulous sleep. Shower and spa bath was lovely. Provided breakfast, milk, juice, coffee, tea, bread etc., was fabulous and chocolates. We loved our greeting on the mirror welcoming us to the accommodation. The only criticism we would have would be that there was cobwebs through the beams in the room and here and there and quite a bit of dust on items in the room. The patio garden area was so lovely but needs a good clean on the fences where many spiders webs were and empty vodka cans in the garden from previous guests I guess? We were woken early the next morning to someone using electrical appliances in the garden area as we were there to rest and relax and didn’t expect to be woken early by this. Otherwise everything was lovely and we will return for sure. Beautiful accommodation!

Lovely looking property and we had high hopes for our stay there. Unfortunately this was not to be.

- Glass door to bathroom has no blind,

The bathroom door is glass which limits privacy. Now, that may be fine if there was a bit more space, but the bathroom was literally a few feet from the bed.

Additionally, the bathroom was on a raised slab (presumably to enable plumbing) and there was a set of two steps leading from the very edge of the bed, into the bathroom. My husband and I are both tall people, and on more than one occasion I ended up hitting my head on the chandelier, placed awkwardly just inside the aforementioned glass bathroom door!

The property may well have been 'boutique' in the early nineties, but it certainly didn't feel all that luxurious now. The provided hairdryer was spattered with paint and missing the safety guard on the back filter. The towels, though plentiful in supply, were thin and used up quickly. The shower is certainly not made for tall people and water went all over the floor, which became very slippery. The hot water took a long time to warm up and the pressure was poor. We chose to stay at The Loft in the Mill to relax ahead of a social occasion the next day. Unfortunately the stay wasn't particularly relaxing due to the poor amenities. I needed to iron clothes the next morning and the tiny tabletop ironing board was (a) broken so it didn't set level and (b) the cover was so thin, it left marks on the garments I was ironing. I had to us

A lovely romantic retreat

Spent only one night at The Loft In The Mill, but wish it was more. A lovely reconstruction blue stone mill in the Dandenong Ranges, about one-hour drive from Melbourne's CBD. A very romantic retreat indeed. Out room was large and super comfortable with an amazing four-post double bed. The bathroom was a little small and a but annoying that the fan only came on when you switched on the very hot heating light, but aside from that it was fine. All the amenities are available (toiletries, hair dryer, etc.). Lot's of storage space, and because there's no dining area, our breakfast was stored in the mini fridge in the room and plates, etc were available in a tray above, making for a lovely breakfast in bed.

Lovely to wake up in the morning to the sound of the kookaburras, and Grants Picnic Ground is a short drive away, where you can feed cockatoos. Puffing Billy is a little further on again. There's a few restaurants opposite the accommodation and along the road. Be wary though, check in hours are quite limited 11-3 (our key was left on the door when we arrived at 4pm). Payment was charged to my card two days before arrival, even though I hadn't selected that. Most of the retail shops in the little village area close by 5pm.
