Sage Melbourne Ringwood

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed here many times as it is a reasonably priced hotel in a great location at Eastland. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. The rooms are spacious and quiet, and the beds are extremely comfortable. We ate at the Partakes restaurant both nights and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Quality food and well presented."

PARKROYAL Monash Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Parking underneath but paid parking. Room is clean, comfortable bed, with all that you could need: toothbrush and toothpaste, toiletries, TV, good desk and desk lighting for work, iron and ironing board, hangers and wardrobe. Food is good - breakfast lunch and dinner with good hot and cold offerings. Pity that the pool is outdoors during winter but they supply slippers and robes. Good conference spaces. Price per room is still too expensive."

Green Gables Motel

8/10 Good

"The staff was friendly and welcoming It was a quick check in Beds n sheets were clean although weren’t that comfortable and gave us sore backs Toilet was leaking water on the floor 3 tubes of full shampoo would’ve been good as we only got 1 tube that was half of shampoo in it as there was 3 of us Overall cleanliness was good There was heating which was great as it was a very cold night"

Nightelier Carrum Downs Sands Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean room easy access to breakfast or any meals at the hotel next door to motel. One thing is they only had one washing machine and one dryer available within the motel to use. Laundromat nearby was more efficient for use. Also the doors are very heavy so make a lot of noise when coming and going in the corridors"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Pakenham Upper?

The best time to go to Pakenham Upper is during the autumn months of March to May, or in spring, from September to November.

These periods offer the most pleasant weather for exploring the Dandenong Ranges and surrounding areas. Autumn brings cooler temperatures and often clear skies, superb for outdoor activities like hiking or visiting local wineries without the intense summer heat. Spring sees the region come alive with blooming flora, and the weather is generally mild and comfortable.

For couples looking for a relaxing escape, visiting in autumn allows for comfortable drives through scenic routes, enjoying farm-gate produce, and perhaps a cosy evening by a fire. The milder weather is ideal for exploring the natural beauty at a leisurely pace.

Families planning a trip might find spring particularly appealing. The pleasant temperatures are great for children to enjoy outdoor spaces, and the blooming gardens and wildlife are often a highlight.
