Healesville Hotel

Healesville is a tourist town, known mostly for its animal park/sanctuary. I have not visited for a number of years, but was delighted to find it in a pretty, vibrant state: lots of people, lots of choices for eating and drinking, and plenty of retail variety. An historic town on the Yarra River, part of the goldrush era of the 1800's. The Healesville hotel was built in 1912, replacing the original built in the 1860's. It's old world charm and beauty has been augmented by modern facilities without compromising heritage. I loved the shared bathrooms with dado walls and twin shower stalls. I had the best night's sleep for six months in the cosy, quiet room. I can't wait to revisit with my partner.

Rooms were a good size The bed was very comfortable and the rooms had their own aircon Even though rooms did not have an ensuite, bathrooms were shared, this didn't create any issues for us. The shared bathrooms were a good size and very clean. We had dinner and drinks in the hotel, and the staff were extremely friendly and professional. Food and drinks were great sitting in the rear beer garden.

The rooms were large and modern. Ours was a bit dark because of the external balcony but I saw there were other brighter rooms and we weren't that concerned about it as our stay was overnight. It is an old hotel above a pub with a shared bathroom. The bathroom was very clean and was always available when we needed it.

The king room was superb and so comfy. Great spaces and a view to the street. No noise although we were left ear plugs just in case. The bathrooms are superb. Especially the double shower one. Loved it. Lovely liquid soaps and shampoos in the bathroom plus plenty of clean towels and floor mats.

Nice little shared bathroom hotel. Room size was good. Free parking. Great location if you don’t always want to drive somewhere.
