I stayed in the Victorian Room for a night, largely because I could get a deal that compared favourably with any motel prices in the Dandenongs and is obviously a much nicer room. The bed was comfortable, luxurious, the room had all I needed for a comfortable sleep. The atmosphere is lovely and I felt like a princess in the... More

Arrived in the wind and rain and checked in. Lovely room and booked the Herb Garden based on previous reviews. It was very nice but would have been lovely if the fire was already burning for us. Great spa bath which we enjoyed and had the rain stopped we would have stepped out into the private courtyard, but alas the... More

I booked a smaller room which had only one double bed, but the owner was so kind and offered us a bigger room fit for a family of six at no extra charges. Amazing we paid AUD180 and yet got to stay in a AUD345 loft. The living area was huge, a dining table, sofas and a small cabinet stock... More

Olinda is a lovely little town and the motel setting is gorgeous. The Calico room however is extremely small with nowhere to put clothes or suitcases. That was more than a little annoying. I was disappointed too that for the price the room was not serviced. We had ample breakfast provisions but even they were not checked on a daily... More

Tracey B I'm sorry that the Calico Suite wasn't what you had hoped for it to be, we would like all our guests to leave with a satisfied feeling after having stayed here, and most of the 6000 that stay every year do, but I would like to address the concerns that you have. The Calico Suite comprises a separate... More

The staff at The Loft in the Mill are lovely, however the King Arthur suite is far from 4.5 stars. There is no where to store your clothes at all, no wardrobe or draws, we hung our clothes on the bath robe hooks. There is no power points in the bathroom so I had to dry my hair over the... More

Renai it was disappointing to read that your and Rod's 20th Anniversary stay was not what you wanted it to be. I hope that you enjoyed the stretch limousine transfers and meal that we organised for you at Skyhigh Restaurant upon the night of your arrival?

Set in a cute little village, The Loft in the Mill has a great and authentic English feel. We stayed in the Victorian room. Attention to detail on everything, and we couldn't fault... More
