My husband and I recently stayed here for our wedding anniversary. We had a great time, Free wine tasting and a lovely dinner and dessert. It's so handy that they have Endota Spa with in the facility so that we could have a lovely couples massage as well. We also had the buffet breakfast, which was amazing. All the staff were friendly full of information and just genuinely lovely. We will definitely be back :) very happy !

I recently stayed at Balgownie Estate for a couple of nights, and it was an unforgettable experience! We celebrated my birthday with a dinner at their restaurant, and Sarah went above and beyond to make the evening special. She coordinated with my partner to surprise me with a birthday cake, and they even provided complimentary champagne to mark the occasion.

Our room was beautifully decorated with rose petals, candles, and champagne, creating a romantic and luxurious atmosphere. At dinner, we were seated in a private area that made us feel like we had the whole restaurant to ourselves - it was perfect. The food was absolutely delicious, and every dish exceeded our expectations.

The entire staff, including those serving breakfast, were incredibly friendly and provided great tips on local activities. This stay was truly special, and I can't recommend Balgownie Estate highly enough for their exceptional service and wonderful accommodation. Thank you for making my birthday so memorable!

Went here for my anniversary and it was absolutely beautiful!! worth the extra effort to book and make the trip with wine tastings, an amazing dinner, stunning and spacious rooms (super comfy beds) and a gorgeous spa!!
Special shout out to the lovely hostess Belinda who took care of us for both dinner and breakfast, she was so lovely and kind, an amazing worker overall :)
Will 100% be recommending to friends and will come again :)))

I recently dined at Balgownie Estate and had wonderful experience. The food was not only delicious but also reasonably priced.

Moreover, I was impressed by the attentive staff. Their friendly attitude and prompt service made me feel welcomed and valued as a customer.

Overall, I highly recommend Balgownie to anyone looking for great value, delicious food, and outstanding service. I'll definitely be returning soon!

We stayed at Balgownie estate for a night away.
The staff and service was impeccable. Lovely reception staff and we also had dinner at the restaurant and the food was perfection! So delicious and fabulous service too. We also had the buffet breakfast which was amazing and great value for money! My only criticism was the room itself and the pool - very shabby for the price we paid per night. The bathroom really stunk. Mould between the grout in the shower and the shower drain stunk too. We also had a swim in the pool and there was mould and crumbling grout surrounding the pool. There was also a ton of frogs inside the pool. Not a very pleasant experience for the amount we paid to stay there! Overall a 2/5 for the room and facilities. It really needs some sprucing up!

Excellent service, great food at reasonable prices. Great for families and great place for catch-up. A few weeks ago, we walked in for dinner. There was a big group. We waited for 15 minutes and the staff came to apologise for the delay and offered us a free dessert. How sweet and nice. Thank you for making us feel welcome and valued. Will be back!

Terrible food.We left this place quicker than the food came out. Wouldn't come back here ever again.

Seriously, this is the best place ever. Don't underestimate it. Just cause of the location doesn't mean anything. The staff are really good. Really nice. Really kind really friendly super duper duper uber ooper awesome! Really nice people. Amazing food, great deals. I just can't spot any negative. Again don't worry about the atmosphere. Everything's all good. The staff are just so good and so welcoming and so happy and so friendly. You are absolutely love it here. Best ever family fun friendly environment. Really enjoyed it. Thanks again guys for awesome place

OK popped in here to play machines and the hostess announces that it's steak night (Thursday). So I'm there, it is 22 bucks and I am like WTH why not. And then THIS bucket of goodies rocks up to the table instantly Instagram-able and totally delicious. Crisp chips, veges and a perfect medium steak. Whatever you are doing Albion in the kitchen keep it up!

Had lunch here. Steaks were amazing but the chicken Parma was very average. For a pub staple that was disappointing. Also they forgot to put dressing on my salad.

An average local pub if you're looking for a casual bistro experience. The food was yummy - not outstanding and something to rave about, but definitely not terrible. The staff were kind, but the security guards at the pokies made my friend and I uncomfortable. We showed our IDs at entry and let them know we were busting for the bathroom, and they tried to talk to us and say we look like we are in high school and that we are very young; it felt as though they were trying to compliment us. Really unnecessary.

Came here but had to wait 20 minutes for the two girls working at the bar to finish with there social gathering of friends at the bar before I could buy a drink, Eventually bought a drink and a packet off chips but when I got up off my chair and moved 3 metres away from the table I was sitting at the large girl at the bar quickly took my drink and packet of chips that was not completely finished and threw them in the bin .... It was very obvious that I was still there and once I expressed my concern my drink was replaced, Another young female with face piercings brings her KFC and placed it on the bar, very unprofessional... Bar staff need to be vigilant off there surroundings and off the patrons and conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times, From my observation the Bar staff girls are too young there needs to be a older mature person managing the bar and younger staff , A lot off room for improvement , I won't be going back....

Hello me and my mate tried this place several times, for roast of the day dinner , sometimes it was ok, but most times not consistant, beef wasnt cooked properly, another time my mate got metal scourer piece of metal in his mash, we showedd the manager she did not seem too concerned at all. cant say il be back there anytime soon, it should be better. always strive for the best, thats all thanks

Staff very rude and food not good. Atmosphere very bad and hoards of dodgy people out front of pub. Would not recommend this place to anyone especially at night

Terrible food, terrible atmosphere. Basic bistro food that they couldn't even get right. Starters were appalling and just when we thought it couldn't get worse, the mains came out. Steak tasted old and wasn't cooked as requested. Parma was as tough as flip flops. Portion of chips are all over the place. Nothing tasted fresh. We left this place quicker than the food came out. Wouldn't come back here ever again.

Had a meal,good, better than average. Great bar staff in the arvo, afternoon/night staff lacking in service

Ate here the other night and the food was enjoyable. Victoria served us alone and she was both friendly and hard-working. Hubby and I will be back for sure.

We had a lovely meal. Mitch was a great host. Highly recommend the satay chicken for entre and the steak for mains.

Another great meal. Took the family to th Albion for dinner.
Service was great! Meal was really
Enjoyable.
Beer was super cold!
The sports bar entry was a little rough, and not the most comfortable. I decided to pick the family up from out the front instead of out the back were I park.

My meal was the Aussie Parma. So good!🤤

I'm not the organiser.
We came here for a friend's 30th birthday and were looking forward to a private area that was done up for the occasion.

Unfortunately upon entry the indoor function area turned outside very quickly with rain spraying down the roof in a few places.
The floor was a few centimetres deep in the areas where people would be standing.
The seating areas both had sprays of water throughout.
Eventually after trying to mop out the area we were told they could change the location to a more public area in the venue but still we would have some privacy.
This seemed to work quite well!

The staff were helpful. The drinks were priced ok.

There were mixed feedback about the food, but I liked what I had. Some of the food that was paid for didn't actually make it out which was a shame and I'm hopeful that the money for that was refunded.

Being told by one of the security guards to stop using the toilet so much confused me, I'm not sure what that was about.

I would hire this area myself - when the roof is fixed because this is Melbourne and we know the clouds can dump at any time here!

The birthday girl enjoyed herself :)

Thanks heaps for your service.

What a terrible experience we has at the
Albion tonight We sat towards the back of the main dinning room and froze all evening . Neither of the 2 open fire places were lite,: when asked we were told the only lady who knew how to light them;had left ???? Ever heard of a match guys.
My daughter had risotto which was cold while we waited a further 45min for the rest of the table a table to get food which came in dribs a drabs
The steak was OK however the pie was terrible and my Kiev had not a ounce of garlic butter in it. My son-in-law had a lamb burger which came out after the other five of us had eaten .
I so wanted this to be a good a experience but was sadly disappointed
We had to get coffee from the sports bar and the lattes sprinkled with chocolate but the cappuccino left blond.
No saucers as they had run out no spoons or sugar given .
We left stone cold, party because the main entrance door was left open and each time the door to the dinning was opened a gush of cold air followed. E
When it's 7 degrees outside and you have no heating a soft in the morgue would havecbeen better.
I really wanted this to be a good experience but what a total waste of $250:00 + dollars You will need to lift your game as a small business you are failing on the small stuff which is important for the repeat business you will need to survive will need to do better Shame on this attempt .

Considering they're just open up after the locked down.
The meals tasted okay.
Not a full menu yet, was ordered from a gaming room menu.
I guess we've got what we have paid for at that prices.
Going back to try the full menu list after 3/11 when it's fully open.

Went for lunch with three other people, everyone got something different and loved their meals (the chips in particular were VERY popular!). good range of options, and food came out quickly!

After lunch, my partner and I were taken through the back retreat area with Latisha where we discussed (and quickly booked) a function for later in the year. Latisha was incredibly informative, bubbly, and did not rush us as we walked around and discussed our options. All in all I cannot wait to come back for another meal, and for our event!!

I've eaten at the Albion Hotel on a lot of different occasions and an honest review is that - it's not the best meals I've had BUT they are more than reasonable for the price.
This is an amazing old pub with a lot of history - it was be great to see more of it around.
The back deck is amazing and a great place to have a drink.
I'm a big fan of this pub and the service is absolutely A grade

The food was ok, not too bad but not that excellent either. The service was good and the food came out quickly.
The venue looks nice and new, not too packed and noisy either for a Friday dinner outing.

Great food and ambiance, and experienced staff. We had pork slides which was a nice starter, we enjoyed the porter house steak but the scotch fillet was not so amazing. The sauces were good too. I will recommend.

Good friendly service. Helpful with getting Steak dinner. I came in late
as they were trying to close.
