I stayed here a couple of weeks ago with a good friend as part of a planned mid-week girls trip. The place was beautiful and staff were so friendly. We received a complimentary upgrade and were given 'The Loft' room for our 1-night stay. We enjoyed the log fire the most, having been out the whole day on walks to coming back to the lovely room and being able to put our feet up in front of a cheerful warm fire. Thank you for the wonderful experience and I look forward to staying here again when I next come to Olinda.

I cannot fault the service or a Loft in the Mill in any way; our experience was beyond perfect. We stayed in the Hathaway and were astounded by the beautiful furnishings. Heather was absolutely wonderful and friendly to deal from the moment we booked and we felt very comfortable and at home. The gardens are spectacular and the continental breakfast provided was delicious. This is definitely a place we will be returning to on anniversaries!! We have been recommending this beautiful place to everyone. Thank you for such lovely stay.

We've had a wonderful night in the Gouverneurs Retreat suite. It was already super cosy and warm when we came in. The whole atmosphere was amazing and very unique. Some shops and restaurants are just a few meters away and there is stunning nature all around. We will definitely go there again. Also big thanks to the housekeeping, you did a great job!

Had a lovely solo getaway for a few days in the Duchess Quarters - well set up and incredibly comfy. The bed was inviting, comfortable and really encouraged you to sleep in as long as you could. The huge spa bath in the delightful bathroom was great after going on long walks in the cold and the gas log fire was perfect for the cold evenings. Donna in reception was welcoming, friendly and made me feel welcome right away. The location is great for travelling around the Dandenongs and I would be happy to stay there again any time I could.

We had the most lovely stay at A Loft in The Mill! Donna and Heather are the most welcoming, accommodating and fun people weve ever encountered. They went out of their way to make sure we had a comfortable stay. The bed was super comfortable, the room spotless, the location right next to town center, and theres a spa in the room that we made good use of! Whats not to love? We will surely be coming back. Thank you Donna and Heather!
