Imagine the luxury awaiting you if you choose a multi-awarded hotel or highly recommended destination.
Chateau Yering, The Sebel Heritage, The Woodlands Rainforest Retreat and Amethyst Lodge are among the places often cited by tourism organizations, media and the public as having service and facilities beyond expectations.
Chateau Yering is a 250-acre estate featuring a restored 1800s Victorian mansion that serves as a five-star hotel complete with individually designed suites and an award-winning restaurant, as well as a café and function rooms.
All these are set against the panorama of the valley.
With its consistently superb standard of lodging, food and service, this heritage-listed property is one of the select 500 members of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux, the international association of hoteliers, chefs and restaurants that sets the strictest standards in the industry.
Another Yarra Glen accommodation that is highly acclaimed by tourists and critics is The Sebel Heritage.
Sitting at the gateway of the glen, only about 45 minutes from the heart of Melbourne, is this hotel with 96 superbly appointed rooms, 6 spa suites with balconies, and two championship golf courses.
This Chirnside Park destination also houses a signature spa that offers massages and treatments using products created from native Australian plants, fruits, earth and desert salts.
Woodlands Rainforest Retreat provides four bungalows, each of which is a sanctuary seeming to have its own area in the 16-hectare native forest where the whole luxurious property is located.
Its unique design created by four architects and its continuously much-raved about service has earned it multiple local and national tourism awards in the recent years.
Rated 5 stars in the Australian STAR Rating Scheme, luxury B&B guest house Amethyst Lodge offers only four spacious suites that are meticulously maintained by its hosts.
It also features a guest lounge, dining room, spa room and games area for the exclusive use of guests.
This accommodation at Yarra Glen is also famous for its scrumptious food.
One particular breakfast item, their homemade Bircher Muesli, was even given a citation for its novelty and taste in one of the Victoria's tourism conferences.
The service in this guest house is legendary, too.
They will gladly satisfy your requests for a special dinner to surprise your partner, in-house massages or hot air balloon arrangement.
Of course, all these lodges and hotels in the scenic Victorian valley can arrange for you tours to the renowned wineries and restaurants in the area.
So, take your pick from any of these top-rated guest houses and you will surely have a grand time in the glen.
