Aging buildings in superb location. Great value. Mostly for conferences, so casual visitors like us organise own food via local cafes in quaint nearby villages

It’s very dated and gives domitory style accommodation. Walls are very thin and I could hear everything in the next room and corridor. I could hear a man in an adjuscent room snore the whole night. Staff are not available onsight after-hours. I had to walk a very long way from my room to get hot water/tea and use the microwave which is in the common room, because the taps closest to me were broken. My room was full of ants and the bathroom tiles are brown with stains. Bed not so comfortable but okay. The staff at front desk are also very useless and unhelpful and don’t know much about the area. The lady at the desk basically told me that her job was just to check people in and out and could not tell me if I could get an Uber out of the property since I did not have a car. The place is far from the main road and you have to walk a very long way to get public transport. Also, I was unreachable the whole time as there is no cellular service. There is wifi though. The tvs are also tiny and you can barely watch anything.

This is a good place for independent travellers. Staff are not readily available and there are is no on site cafe / catering or food service available to casual guests. Setting is nice, lots of parking and quiet

AC worked, bed was a little uncomfortable, everything was clean and tidy

Stayed for 3 nights and no room cleans done in that time. Said extra towels etc were available in common room but cupboards were empty. Room was not as per pictures online and bathroom was extremely small and hard to use. All staff were very friendly.

The room was great, the staff was the best

Mote like a cheap motel. TV didn't work. Bathroom was tiny. Alao hot water urn in communal area didn't work. Lovely atea of the world though

The room smelt so musty it made us dry reach. Tv haning off wall and didnt work. Smoke detector hanging open with no battery. Room dusty and not vey clean. We ended up leaving and didnt stay. No one at reception to talk to. Another lady was at the reception wanting to complain and no one answered the bell.

Nice staff. Tiny bathroom and toilet. A bit dated, but still clean. The place was almost empty but you can hear every step in the corridor. Amazing area and fairly close to Olinda.

Lovely receptionist, the room and hotel were neat and tidy. It has its own pool and little gym downstairs. You can head out to dinner, or like us go to the local IGA in Olinda and bring your food back to enjoy on the hotel grounds. The location is absolutely beautiful and a perfect place to spend a night or two for those who, like my family and I, love to be in a secluded spot surrounded by nature. It's very affordable for a room in the Dandenong ranges, right near Olinda which is a very charming little town. The hotel grounds are just like botanic gardens, the air is fresh, and you get a mutitude of wild birds for company. The pool is cool and deep, and relaxing. Honestly, great value for money.

Panorama is in a very quiet, idyllic spot in the Dandenong Ranges. Our welcome was very pleasant and easy. We were shown our room, which turned out to have a faulty shower, with an alternative given immediately. The manager was very engaging and took us on a tour of the property, which has the primary function as a conference centre. The large central dining/lounge is comfortable and relaxing. The rooms are small, but clean. The bathrooms are quite small, but adequate for a short stay. The owners have only had the property for a few months, but are making significant improvements. This is a fantastic place to get away and relax if you want a total break. There are no shops within about five kilometres, but drinks are available at the motel. We were very surprised to return after a day out to find fresh towels and the bed made, something we did not expect on a daily basis, particularly for the reasonable price we were charged. Not too far from the burbs, but felt like a total bush experience, even to the deer passing through the bottom of the garden.

Would not let my dog stay ,no good

Clean room, friendly staff

Exactly what we needed for an over night stay... Nothing fancy but perfect. Clean and tidy. Great stay.cassandra at reception was very helpful and lovely.

The property is isolated & far from the shops but very relaxed. We came from a wedding event & drove back in the dark thru the winding road but it was a pleasant drive. You are in the heart of nature. Plenty of walking tracks. There's a water fall nearby. The Dandenong Botanical Garden is also close by (drive). We'll be coming back to this property time & again. Highly recommended 👌

Peace and quiet in the hills

Lovely quiet stay. Small and dated room but ok for what we paid.

Reception was excellent - Lara was very helpful and accommodating. Thank you to Samantha for preparing the room and keeping it warm and cosy for our stay.😊

View

Overall, this was very good. It was a little away from everything, but the room was fine (& very warm). The site itself is lovely with rosellas & cockatoos (& evidence of visits by either rabbits or kangaroos-not seen by me). There's a lovely common area with a pool table & pretend fire. The staff were very helpful. The only thing I would warn people about is to enter via Link Rd - the alternative has a Kosisoko like climb & my ute stalled (it worked out in the end, but Link Rd is much simpler
