Perricoota Vines Retreat

I am hesitant in writing this review because if people know about this accommodation gem then it will be harder to book when I want to go! Love this place - so relaxing, private, quiet and calming. Have stayed here many times over the years and never had a bad experience.

What an absolute delight to stay here. The rooms were extremely well furnished and spacious. The cleanest accommodation I have ever stayed in. The balcony on the lake was visually superb as were the impeccably manicured gardens. Can't recommend this accommodation highly enough. Chris Miller Queenscliff.

Needed a little extra help when I discovered I had left my wallet at resort after arriving home. Staff were so accommodating and helpful. Really appreciated it. Also surroundings lovely. Decking over the lake was impressive.

Attentive staff eager to please with what we needed. Easy checkin. Villa had all we needed. Pools were nuce and luke warm. A luck of paint for sime if the weathered areas of the villa and surrounds would have been an added bonus to the fresh clean feel of the villa. No mosquitoes!! Comfortable bed and room layout. Reasonably priced. Very pleasant.

We have been visiting Perricoota Vines for well over ten years, as a couple, and also on yearly family Summer holidays. This is the first time we ever cut our trip short, because we were so disappointed. Yes, the grounds are still beautiful. The cleaners do a brilliant job of leaving the rooms immaculate. But other than that no maintenance has gone into this resort for a very long time. The pool is in a bad state- concrete tiles are lifting up and lying around. At one point we witnessed kids picking them up and throwing them around as sinker toys. I suggested to management that they be removed from the area as they were dangerous, but this never happened. On day two of our trip my husband was sitting in a pool chair and it completely broke under him. He ended up badly bruised, bloody, and scratched up. I called management to tell them what had happened and they gave me bandaids and Betadine, then sent me on my way. At no point did they check on my husband. The spa in our room was temperamental. The button for the jets often got stuck and the jets would be stuck on. A cockroach was in the bathroom. And the worst of the worst was the lack of internet. You should not have to sit in your bathroom to check your emails or do your banking. Thank god our son doesn’t rely on the internet for entertainment, because he would have been bitterly disappointed. In the past we have been made to feel like valued guests at Perricoota resort. But now it feels like Management just want our money. They are never in the office, and you need to call their mobile if you have an issue, which leaves you feeling like you are disturbing them. We won’t be staying here again, which is very very sad after ten years of memories.

This was our 4th time staying and it was amazing as always. The grounds are beautiful and we and our kids always make use of the pool. The rooms are always clean. Only minor issue was when we went to cook there was no fry pan. We just went and bought a couple.
