We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Aruluen. The attention to detail was phenomenal, from the breakfast inclusions (fresh sourdough bread and milk), to the extra power points, heat towel rail and amazing bathroom amenities. Peaceful and relaxing stay, perfect for our weekend get away. The host Rach was brilliant and loved the cosy feeling of this traditional bed and breakfast!!

We stayed in the villa with a garden view and it was so nice to have our own little area. We loved that breakfast was available, you can say that the hosts are very thoughtful about the needs of their guests. They had fresh juice, milk, eggs, bread, yogurt, fruits, beans and jams for us. There's a dryer as well as ironing board available too which was very useful. The towels and bath robes are of great quality and the room looks and smells great.

We had a wonderful stay at the Araluen accommodation. Our villa had everything we needed and was the perfect size. We particularly enjoyed the small touches, such as the beautiful bath products, high quality towels and bed linen, along with freshly laid eggs for breakfast. I would certainly recommend this accommodation to anyone who wishes to stay in the Yarra Valley.

Beautiful rooms and the common area was both beautiful and functional. Spent a lovely afternoon in front of the wood fire watching the AFL grand final on a large screen TV and just enjoying not doing anything in the peace and quiet of what is Araluen Boutique Accommodation. They also provide all that is required for your breakfast, which is a lovely touch. We felt as though nothing was too much to ask as our hosts were available and eager to assist to make our weekend perfect.
