  Not so quiet at Melba Lodge

  We stayed in July with the new owners having just taken over a few weeks ago They tried hard and were quite hospitable. Unfortunately a wedding party came back and partied all night and the owners did not ask them to turn the music down. So much for a nice night away without the kids and a good sleep. We left at 130 in the morning. I called once to discuss the situation then a second time, and they haven't called back, thus I suggest they don't really care about us, the customer. Stay here at your own risk is my opinion, in fact don't risk it.

  Don't get stuck here

  This hotel was the pits - the furniture, the fittings, the walls - everything was cheap except the price for a night. The guests across the hall could easily be heard as they showered or bathed, heard to a degree that kept you awake. Puzzling noise and all because of paper thin walls. Breakfast was cheap and unimaginative, especially for somewhere as rich in great produce as the Yarra Valley. Wifi did not reach the room, and the wifi password was not handed out - meaning you had to search for the owners who mysteriously disappeared after dark to a whereabouts not told to guests. There was certainly no invitation - "to give us a shout if you need anything", it certainly felt more like stay the hell away and don't disturb our after hours peace - we are only taking your money under the guise of running a hotel! Good luck if you choose to stay

  C&RW Don't Expect a Good nights sleep or any action taken over drunk noisy guests!

  My wife and I booked for 25th of October for one night to attend a function nearby. We arrived at about 4:00 pm a Melba Lodge and no problems at first, the room and overall impression of the property was good with a lovely breakfast room and a great breakfast on offer next day. We returned back at about 10:45 Saturday and were ready to settle into sleep .About 10 minutes later,the other people in the room next door arrived back (and as one other person has said in their review, the wall are so thin that you can hear everything, how this building ever got approval when it was built with no sound proofing is beyond me! ) By the noise from their room ,they were both very drunk, as they could be heard through the thin walls, what resulted was arguing and fighting between them with this going on for over three hours until about 3:00 am in the morning when it stopped we think they both passed out due to being very very drunk. Prior to this we had to put up with this through the paper thin walls with all sorts of swearing, threats of violence to each other, insults , continued yelling ,it went on and on. My wife and I were very frightened and worried that this situation could have got really out of hand. We didn't know whether to approach them ( we didn't do which was probably the best thing) or call the Police on 000, which we should have done!, but didn't . As a result we were up most night. In the morning I got up very early mainly due to their loud snoring and spoke to the lady owner who was preparing breakfast and asked if she or or husband could do anything NOTHING. The only good thing was the breakfast was first class and excellent, but is not worth the noise issues and the lack of action on the owners part. We very disappointed with the lack of action taken and no offer of compensation on their part maybe a small discount on the tariff or some incentive to make a return visit could have been offered for what we went through. A very unfortunate stay, which was a pity as with some sound proofing in the building and some strategies to deal with drunk guests, it has the potential to be a good place . Strongly not recommend to stay in its present state unless you are very deaf and drunk yourself!

  History & Wines - a great blend

  We stayed at Melba Lodge with a group of friends while visiting the local wine area. The rooms were very comfortable & hospitality exceptional. Breakfast got us off to a great start pre wine tasting. Some good restaurants in the town within walking distance.

  welcoming cozy accommodation in great location

  Rooms were lovely and warm, we even had electric blankets to snuggle into to when we arrived home from our night out' I think this place could easily get too noisy if it had full capacity, as there were only 3 couples when we arrived and we could here them in the morning, but overall it was a lovely place to stay, clean and cozy building was decorated beautifully, however gardens needed a clean up but all in all it was lovely, breakfast was delicious .location is great, can walk into town within 10 minutes.
