The room was clean and comfortable. Due to a large down poor that created a leak in the roof we were moved to another room without fuss. Great service and the breakfast was perfect.

Incredible value for money, to have continental breakfast and castle access included for our stay was amazing, made for a great day after a long drive and an excellent chance for our toddler to enjoy the attraction.
Room was basic, but enough room for our family, walls are a little thin in the budget family rooms, we could hear next door clearly, but for a single night and the price we paid it was fine.

The property was clean, staff overall we friendly and helpful. Just a small note if you stay in one of the tiny houses look at the weather, if it rains or is windy you can definitely feel it. Also be mindful if the trailer is not leveled the shower can leak. But if you and your kids like an adventure its all worth it. Kids had a blast.

Very different from your usual accommodation.
We enjoyed the experience went for the king spa suite. Great value for a large room with a king size bed and spa. Spa worked with well. Lachlan at reception was very empathetic and accommodating.

It was a new cabin set outside the castle walls. The castle was available for us to walk around in - that was fun and entertaining. Castle is a little tired and getting older but we enjoyed the wander - took us an hour &half. The only glitch for us was no extra blanket in the cabin for the colder winter night. I told staff that I thought this would be a good thing to supply. Excellent continental breakfast supplied as part of room price. Very enjoyable stay.

Unique stay
A very unique and novel stay at Kryal Castle. Room was different as expected but comfortable. Only one chair for 2 people though. The castle grounds were great and clean. We enjoyed walking around. Quite good value and would probably stay again.

Stayed previously and had a good stay. First stay in cabin/ tiny home. Unfortunately the heating was very inadequate and had to cut short the stay. Staff were helpful and offered to change rooms but had already booked elsewhere. Staff arranged refund without prompting. Although a bad stay staff were attentive so will probably resolve this issue with heating. I would consider again in the future

The best experience!
This is an amazing place! The rooms are even like a castle. Our teenage boys loved it. Lots to do and discover and learn. Included breakfast which was great. Staying in the castle made us feel like we were living in the age. Music playing and gifts shops of the era plus the josting and sword fighting was wonderful. If you go to Melbourne make sure to take the quick trip to Leigh creek to go to Kryal Castle and better still stay the night in the castle.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Castle with only one exception…we felt very sorry for the Peacock because he didn’t seem to come out of his little home.
All staff were so lovely and helpful ☺️🦚🏰
