I must admit, the welcome at reception was fantastic and the rooms were clean and everything they were advertised to be. (We stayed in the Hathaway). We struggled with the DVD player due to no available instructions in the room and then we were "entertained" by having to listen to people staying above us enjoy their spa bath. Looked forward...

I'm sorry to hear that your stay with us wasn't everything that you would have expected it to be. I only wish that you had picked up the guest phone beside the reception door which is about 4 metres from the Hathaway Suite in which you had stayed and let me know and I could have done something about every...

My partner and I recently stayed here in the King Arthur Room-beautiful room, lovely fire and fantastic spa. We had a great evening, falling asleep to the sound of the trees blowing in the breeze. We were thoroughly disappointed however to be woken up early by heavy banging from a hammer and then noisy electrical tools being used to renovate... More

I'm sorry to hear of your experience, and we as an organisation have learn't from this. We have now implemented a practice when any guest is staying whilst we conduct improvements to the property, that we will notify them beforehand so that they have a choice whether to continue with their booking. As you may have read in my owners... More

We had booked to stay elsewhere in Olinda but were disppointed when we arrived so we stopped at the Loft in the Mill to see what rooms they had available. We were immediately impressed by the professionalism of the owners who showed us three available rooms. They were all beautifully furnished and clean. We ended up staying for 2 nights... More

We were at the Loft in the Mill with our toddler and stayed at the Calico room for 2 nights. It is a lovely room which has its own little patio. The Calico room is on the ground floor of the main building and has its own entrance, so it is very private and the little patio is all yours.... More

Me and my partner stayed at the loft in the mill for one night just recently. After looking at photos we chose a tudor room at 155 a night and were extremely dissapointed. The walls, the bathroom, the couch and the carpet were very old. The couch was dirty and had evident stains on it, the bathroom was tiny and... More

If you are planning a trip to escape into the Dandenongs, i recommend that you choose to go to The Loft in the Mill. Its the best place to stay and we have tried many in the hills. Its such an easy getaway close to Melbourne. The prices are so reasonable and every time we stay we feel so welcome.... More

I booked The Loft for two nights for my mum and I as a surprise for my mum's 60th birthday. The location, level of service, accommodation facilities, knowledge and friendliness of the staff was second to none. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in the area!

This was our second stay at the Loft and this time we tried out the Herb suit. We decided to stay here as we had a work function at Sky High restaurant. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed back and made to feel like family! Our room was beautiful and even though it had been hot that day,... More
