Novotel St Kilda

Novotel St Kilda

It's been a long time since I have stayed here... Mum got us the room for our wedding anniversary to go with our tickets for Dave Hughes at the Palais... The staff were lovely, room was comfortable, recently refurbed, with everything required for a nice stay... The bathroom was massive and clean, but poorly designed as the open plan meant water from the shower went all over the back half of the floor...
We cheekily set up the wii and had a good time kicking back, playing games with a few drinks until it was time to go to the show... Ordered room service, I got the burger, pricey, but delicious!
Would definitely stay here again, recommend the spot, awesome location, nice room...

Mark won this nights accommodation in a raffle (dude has amazing luck)... It included a breakfast and valet parking... Everything about the experience was wonderful... The staff, from valet, to room service to breakfast, were exceptional... The location was brilliant for a night at the casino, room was beautiful and clean... The bathroom was a tiny bit mouldy which I'm not a fan of, but otherwise it was lovely and big... Breakfast was divine, eggs to order, every pastry, cereal, fruit, bread you could think of... Got a couple drinks room service, really good cocktail!!! Overall I would highly recommend this as a place to stay with your lover, it ticks all the boxes!

For a weekend away we headed to Ace Hi Riding Ranch... Initially the plan was to catch a little horse riding, as well as having some cool activities for Olivia, the pregnancy got in the way of horse riding, but Olivia got her pony ride, and we all got a chance to feed the animals at the wildlife park which is free for people staying there...

Inexpensive accommodation, freezing cold, loads of bunks as well as our double bed, someone previously in our room had clearly wet the bed and not told anyone as it was stanksville! But for $70 a night, who can really complain... Think it would be much better to stay in summer for the sake of the temperature of the rooms, but ultimately a good time was had by all!
