Panorama Retreat & Resort

Signage at entrance is poor as it has another name in large letters and then a small sign saying the panorama etc. very confusing. we drove past and then another km or so there was another sign that took us into the back. The setting is beautiful and quiet. lots of birdlife and rabbits. Dinner is very limited and served in lounge but understand there are other venues within driving distance. Rooms are clean, very small, no bar fridge. Staff are very friendly - polite and accommodating.

The location was delightful. A shelf and a clothes hook or two in the bathroom would help a lot.

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.

Very small bathroom, Bed just comfortable

the grounds are beautiful

This was a ‘scoopon’ booking gifted to us by family. We were excited to spend time in the Dandenong ranges and explore the area. We were actually the only occupied room in the hotel !! - rather spooky and really not too security conscious.We had hoped to have a meal in the restaurant rather than travel by car to a restaurant but the restaurant was closed - this should have been indicated on the web site. On arrival for breakfast the first morning we were obviously not expected, there was nothing there !! The housekeeper and her staff were excellent in sorting some coffee and other continental breakfast items - all credit to them, the hotel is lucky to have them. A phone conversation with the manager Melinda explaining our disappointment ensured and we were assured that this wouldn’t happen the second morning. True to her word on day two breakfast was available and the gas fire was lit to welcome us to the restaurant. We were also given a nice bottle of red as an apology. Mistakes happens so well done Melinda for turning it round. I do feel that the hotel is dated and could do with an upgrade. Do they really need restaurant awards from the 90’s on the wall !! Would I visit again - maybe not as we’ve already seen the area. If you are thinking of booking do check first with the hotel that the facilities you want to use are available. The grounds were beautiful.
