DOMINIC SAVIO, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

A truly peaceful and spacious retreat when there were no conference bookings. Quiet and isolated but within reasonable range of towns and services. Good Basic accommodation and friendly staff.
Loris, 6-night trip

8/10 Good

I had a room with all the facilities I needed, plus coffee available all day in dining room. It was a very good price for my needs.
Janet, 18-night trip

8/10 Good

Stay with beautiful mountains.

Panorama Retreat & Resort is located in the beautiful mountains, but my room was very small.
Ning, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The rooms are very tired and in need of a refresh. The lights are dim and some power points have been blanked off. The TV and supplementary heating barely work. This gives the feeling of cheap and mean management.
Tina, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Lovely property and grounds. A bit dated, but the room was sufficient for our needs. Bed was hard and had two singles pushed together (to make a king). Can't comment on the food as we didn't eat there but the staff were friendly and welcoming.
Fleur, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I booked 1 overnight stay and checked-in around 8 pm on Saturday. Reception had closed by 4 pm and my room key was sitting on the counter in an envelope with my name on the outside. The facility actually has a locked after-hours room key safe, but, this was not used instead. This felt very unsafe to me. The ground floor was extremely noisy with the other customers pacing back and forth and shouting in the courtyard. A very disruptive place. I wouldn't stay here again. I left the next morning at 6 am.
Drukshini, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely modern conference center on dirt road. Quiet, beautiful birds. Large screen TV with fireplace in community room. Sweet staff.
Claudene, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Beautiful gardens & loved the spring flowers & seeing the bunnies. Was well located for visiting the Dandenong villages
Marcelle, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

The surroundings were beautiful and great facilities . We loved that The room itself was basic but good for the couple of nights we stayed. Could have had a fridge . Room was very cheap which was great Bathroom extremely small and hard to move around in though . We were disappointed that we weren’t able to pay for a buffet breakfast. We were told this by staff but saw this was available to other guests . A breakfast option may be something to look at for other guests not just big groups
Rose, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

A nice spot in the mountains, nice spot for access to local hiking trails. A good spot to wait out rainy weather during our stay. Friendly staff
Harold, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great surrounds & privacy
Jamie, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Property was in a beautiful setting in bushland. Getting there and finding the exact location of the property was confusing as it was advertised as Panorama Resort and Retreat but we drove quite a long way out of our way and had to turn back down a narrow dirt road as the property still had a former sign on it that read 'Country Retreat'. This time we wasted trying to find it resulted in us being late for my niece's wedding.
Marie, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The location was delightful. A shelf and a clothes hook or two in the bathroom would help a lot.
Ronald, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

If weather had been fine might have been a better experience.
Jewel, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Very small bathroom, Bed just comfortable
Val, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We were looking for accommodation in the hills for a work trip, this was by far the most convenient. The staff are friendly and the rooms comfortable. I would highly recommend

10/10 Excellent

Quiet and in the middle of dense bush land
Nandkumar, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

All great thank you
Ian, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very pleasant. Friendly, immaculate, warm. Excellent value for money. Superb gardens, beautifully maintained. It was a one-off trip to see family visiting from the US but would love to see it in the early spring. Only downside irrelevant - those of us from flat places found the mountain roads challenging.
Jenny, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Amazing staff. Very friendly and accommodating. They are set up as a conference centre. No fridges in the rooms if you want to keep things cool. Beautiful grounds.
Graham, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The area is beautiful & the room was adequate for my needs. But the shower was difficult... the water was either freezing or scalding, with little water pressure.
Laura, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Hard to make contact with reception and no one at reception at 2 pm.
Reiner, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

This property was quite nice with beautiful grounds and our cabin was very comfortable, but TBH it was dead. We were there for 1 night and barely saw another guest. There was no restaurant open, and when we came back after having dinner in town, the whole place was deserted. Then when we went back to our cabin, the TV reception was not great, which is fine normally, as most places have smart TVs, and you can just login to your own Netflix. But these were old TVs, and we couldn't even do that. So, with 2 teens with me, we didn't have a lot of options. For almost $400 a night, I was expecting more from it.
Allison, 1-night trip
