天鵝谷葡萄酒莊詩鉑高級服務公寓 (The Sebel Swan Valley The Vines)

The Sebel Swan Valley is nestled in the heart of Swan Valley and is an awesome place to disconnect from the urban hustle and play a round of golf (mini or otherwise). Plenty to see and do, and you definitely need a car. The apartments are great, newly done up and don't lack for anything. Just bring your clothes and cooking stuff and you're good to go. Really has the feel of a chalet.

The place is exclusive and it is very peaceful. Alot of facilities to enjoy. Everyday you get to see wild kangaroos outside of your room.

Avoid it at all costs. I couldn’t believe at my first sight after reading the review at the beginning. But it end up with only disappointment. How could a hotel serve so badly in the world. Don’t bother to return.

The location was wonderful — very quiet and close to the Swan Valley vineyards. The room itself was spacious, with a very comfortable bed and a good-sized bathroom. The kitchen had everything you’d expect, although it was quite small, so cooking in the room isn’t very practical. The main letdown was cleanliness. Rooms are only cleaned every six days, which we didn’t know before booking. You can exchange towels daily, but that’s about it. When we arrived, we asked for the floors to be done as they clearly hadn’t been cleaned properly — it was still below the standard of quality hotels. Although the carpets looked new, they weren’t clean- there were toenails and popcorn from previous guests on the carpet I contacted reception to request a proper clean, but was told that according to Sebel’s rules, cleaning only happens every six days. Had we known this beforehand, we probably wouldn’t have booked. The swimming pool looked nice, but during our stay it had a lot of bird and duck droppings, which made it unappealing. We used it once but didn’t feel it was clean enough to go back. There’s a golf course nearby for those interested, but the on-site café was a definite disappointment — overpriced and average at best. My husband ordered what was listed as a Scotch fillet steak, but even the waitress admitted it was actually minute steak. We asked for a refund since it was inedible (all fat), but were refused because “he ate it” — even though he only touched the fries and bread roll. So, essentially, it was an expensive chip sandwich. Overall, while the place looks appealing and the setting is beautiful, the experience didn’t justify the cost. Between the lack of proper cleaning, poor food, and high prices, we’re not sure we’d stay again.
