Lochiel Luxury Accommodation

The property was beautiful, set in the trees. We loved our stay. Highly recommend.

I couldn’t RAVE about this property enough!!!! Set amongst the mountain ash, so clean and modern, cosy and close to everything we needed in Olinda. We loved it that much we are definitely going back 💚🌿

Clear directions on how to get there, welcome note on facilities, kitchenette, living space; especially the fireplace and the bathroom spa were fantastic, peaceful time in the hills

It was a little dirty The location and the building has huge potential Construction is going on so clearly the owners are trying to address this.

Our stay at Lochiel was comfortable, though somewhat lacklustre. Perhaps when Lochiel first opened years ago, it was considered to be luxury; however, now it is arguably ‘standard’. We stayed in the one-floor cottage. It was peaceful, and we slept well. The wood fire heater was fantastic, adding to the cosy ambience, and had been set before our arrival. Alan was very accommodating and communicative about our arrival. Disappointingly however was the general appointment of the cottage. The blinds were very dirty, there were cracked tiles around the fireplace, the couch was in a state of disrepair, the oven greasy and dirty, and the windows looked as though they had not been cleaned for months. There’s also no door or screen between the bedroom and the bathroom, and one can see the toilet from the bed. Being luxury (and paying luxury prices), It would have been nice to have fresh milk instead of UHT, and a coffee machine with pods rather than instant. I do understand that Lochiel is a business, though given the standard of other luxury accommodation around in the area, it falls short. With closer attention to detail, replacement and inclusion of items, it could easily become the luxurious getaway it advertises itself to be.

We stayed in the treetops guest house cottage. On arrival there was an overpowering smell of mould which we discovered was coming from a room with damp dumped towels left in it.. the room was pleasant but beware no toilet door in here at all.. eg no privacy.. Then of course there was no doona on the bed but two sheets with the doona in between. And then to top it off there was three blood stains on the doona.. Not exactly COVID clean.. i contacted the owner no response!! I would not recommend staying here if you are concerned about any health and safety... we paid 400.00 AUD per night for this.
