Guest reviews for Clarendon Cottages

5 out of 5

Chris and Gayle have thought of everything. At the Stables at Clarendon we wanted for nothing. An immaculate property with beautiful decor and plentiful breakfast provisions. The gardens are lovely and fastidiously maintained with bird feeders (topped up morning and afternoon by Chris) in full view of your window. Any visitor would be hard pressed to find fault with this impressive escape.

Wotif has been very deceptive with advertising this property, I needed a single story due to disabilities and ended up with two storey. Very difficult to manouvre inside as the cottage was extremely small.

We are very sorry that you did not enjoy your stay in our small suite due to your special needs. Unfortunately as we explained beforehand there are no facilities on the Wotif website to show that it is a two storey cottage. Immediately after booking we sent you a message that specifically mentioned that the cottage was small and did have an upstairs and downstairs. We later spoke on the phone and confirmed this a few days before your check-in and offered a refund if we were able to re-book the cottage but you declined to cancel. We feel we have done everything possible to ensure you were well informed and are at a loss as to what else we could do. We hope you will return to the Dandenongs again and perhaps book our larger cottage which is all on the one level. Regards, Chris

Disappointed at the lack of compassion from the owner. My father suffered a heart attack the day before, owner refused to let us cancel or change dates. Didn’t even offer his sympathies. Was pushy about arrival times. The stables cottage has other cars parked beneath it which kept us awake with other guests arriving/leaving during the night. The cottage itself was clean & comfortable, but a bit over priced.
