"Absolutely fabulous. This property was so clean and tidy and beautiful decorated.The little bar came with complimentary wine, granola, a fresh loaf of bread, jams and honey,tea, coffee and hot chocolate the fridge was stocked with yogurt juice and milk and butter. This was so good to have because once you get there you don’t want to leave. We had a view of the olive grove and relaxed on the deck as the sun set in the background. The air conditioning was quiet , the shower was big enough for two....

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Lara?
The best time to visit Lara is during the warmer months, from November to March, when the weather is ideal for enjoying the region's outdoor attractions.

During these months, you can expect pleasant temperatures, superb for exploring the You Yangs Regional Park, which offers walking trails and panoramic views. The warm weather also makes it a great time to visit the Serendip Sanctuary, where you can observe native Australian wildlife in a natural setting. This period is particularly good for families looking to spend time outdoors.

For those interested in local events and a more relaxed pace, the shoulder seasons of October and April are also lovely. The weather is still mild, and there are fewer crowds, offering a more tranquil experience.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Lara hotel for you.
