I liked that it was close to shopping and right next door to Sovereign Hill. The staff were very pleasant. It was very clean.

Set in idyllic surroundings, along the edge of Sovereign Hill. These rooms have a beautiful scenic view of the mining village. A pleasant evening stroll around the facility, which includes a lookout for miles around. A really lovely place to stay with that feeling of antiquity. We enjoyed our stay so much, we came back for a second night.

The room was clean and comfortable, styled in the older colonial style, which is a lovely touch. The room was quiet, and you could not hear the other guests coming or going. The toiletries that are supplied are nice and smelt wonderful. Breakfast is a good option in the morning, it's kind of a buffet you can get your own toast, pastries and friut, but they ask if you want a hot meal which you get a choice of scrabbled or fried eggs. Entry to sovereign Hill is not included in your stay, but you can purchase entry at the hotel and enter the park via the hotel, which is handy.

Easy check in, the room was warm on our arrival (June , so very cold outside), the bed was very comfortable and the free parking was great. It was quiet , no noise from the tourist activities at Sovereign Hill was heard from our rooms. It had a beautiful view too, we were in the Governor Room.
