Cleveland Estate  

In the leafy town of Lancefield on Melbourne’s fringe, a short drive from the city and the region’s wineries and parks. A smart, family-friendly base for weekend escapes and cellar‑door hopping.

Rooms are warmly, individually decorated. The property has about 50 guestrooms with refrigerators, flat‑screen TVs, minibars and coffee/tea makers, plus basic comforts like showers, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. Grounds include a terrace and garden and an attached winery for a local touch.

Two pools—indoor and outdoor—sit alongside a fitness center and a massage room. Social spots include a bar, an on‑site restaurant, an arcade/game room, table‑tennis and picnic areas. Free Wi‑Fi, on‑site parking and concierge services keep things easy.

There’s a business center and event/wedding services available. Complimentary wireless internet and luggage storage help business travelers and groups stay organized. Multilingual staff assist with arrangements.

An on‑site restaurant and bar focus on local flavors and estate wines. Continental breakfasts are served on weekends for a fee, and limited room service is available. The attached winery brings cellar‑to‑table appeal.
