Arina greeted us just as we arrived and took us to the suite, and was an excellent host, making our stay extremely memorable. This is a great property, with a very large, lush garden with multiple levels, and the stay was very tranquil as a result. From the large room to the spa to the comfy bed to all the various amenities, including the fresh bread and juice and wine provided, made it the perfect stay. We'll definitely be back again, and highly recommend a stay at Aquila Nova, you won't regret it! Thanks so much Arina and Alex for the amazing getaway! ##### Stephen Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nicole Mar 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The consideration given to customer comfort was amazing, they thought of everything. The quality of the breakfast and food was first rate. To be honest, I felt with the price we paid for a night, that wasn't even a public holiday was too high. The room smelt musty, the traffic on the road was noisy and there was only one small screen on the front door to get any fresh air. We also couldn't get any T.V channel reception and had to watch the show we wanted on our phone. Being honest, I wouldn't return for that price. I am usually someone who tries to leave a good review but I felt that future customers need to be fully informed. ##### Nicole Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clint Mar 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Fantastic place to stay ##### Clint Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah Nov 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very beautiful, perfect for our getaway and wow what wonderful property, the place was just so perfect. ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jayne Mar 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place to stay Great place to stay for a special occasion.

This is one of the best places I have ever stayed at anywhere. We arrived to find a beautifully baked bread roll, still warm from an oven, waiting for us on the kitchenette bench. Best tasting roll I've eaten in a long time. Lovely olive oil and balsamic was supplied. The four poster bed was made immaculately and the place itself was utterly spotless. Everything was perfect and the attention to detail was flawless - from how the cushions were arranged on the sofa, even to how the cutlery was arranged in the drawers! The views onto the garden were very relaxing. Good quality coffee and condiments. Breakfast supplies were utterly fresh. Amazing manuka honey toiletries in the bathroom. Spa bath was relaxing. Can't fault the place! Do yourself a favour and stay here. I will definitely come back here for a longer stay. ##### Darron ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate, Melbourne Oct 3, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely room with spa We really enjoyed our stay in the Sol room. There was so much attention to detail, from providing bath salts for the spa to including little chocolates around the room. Gorgeous views of camellia trees and the forest over the road. And the gardens on the property are really beautiful. We went for a wander one night and found a sugar glider in one of the trees. We ended up spending a whole morning just sitting at the little table, reading and sketching. It was very comfortable and cosy. ##### Kate ### 10/10 Excellent #### dallas Jan 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### dallas Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joshua Aug 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Joshua Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [MainStay Suites Kew](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Aligned-Corporate-Residences-Kew.h530896.Hotel-Information) > - [Dingley Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Dingley-Hotel.h7990469.Hotel-Information) > - [CitiClub Hotel Melbourne](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-CitiClub-Hotel-Melbourne.h7861558.Hotel-Information) > - [Easystay Studio Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Easystay-Studio-Apartments.h975579.Hotel-Information) > - [Crowne Plaza Melbourne by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Melbourne.h845390.Hotel-Information) > - [HEMSTON HOUSE, COASTAL STYLE, EXPANSIVE GARDENS & ENTERTAINING, SORRENTO](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-NEW-LISTING-HEMSTON-HOUSE.h110780500.Hotel-Information) > - [Kimberley Gardens Hotel & Serviced Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Kimberley-Gardens-Hotel-Serviced-Apartments.h913184.Hotel-Information) > - [Lamplighter Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Lamplighter-Motel.h1392642.Hotel-Information) > - [Oros Hotel and Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Oros-Plus-Hotel.h60330117.Hotel-Information) > - [Melbourne City Apartments - Mason](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Serviced-Apartments-Melbourne-Mason.h37882984.Hotel-Information) > - [Comfort Apartments Box Hill](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-City-Edge-Box-Hill.h14864291.Hotel-Information) > - [District Fitzroy](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-District-Fitzroy.h13334922.Hotel-Information) > - [Quest Werribee](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Quest-Werribee.h4789987.Hotel-Information) > - [Lancemore Lindenderry Red Hill](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Lancemore-Lindenderry-Red-Hill.h525522.Hotel-Information) > - [Stillwater](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Stillwater.h21362303.Hotel-Information) > - [Mahoneys Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Mahoneys-Motor-Inn.h12708.Hotel-Information) > - [Charlie's Chocolate Factory-Unwrap Fitzroy's Charm](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Charlies-Chocolate-Factory-Unwrap-Fitzroys-Charm.h105534985.Hotel-Information) > - [Clarendon Hotel Melbourne](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Clarendon-Hotel-Melbourne.h21729951.Hotel-Information) > - [Summer House Backpackers, Melbourne](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Summer-House-Backpackers.h6051296.Hotel-Information) > - [Eltham Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Eltham-Retreat.h10466529.Hotel-Information) > - [Golden Pebble Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Golden-Pebble-Hotel.h8032387.Hotel-Information) > - [Brilliant Collins Wharf Waterfront Condo](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Brilliant-Collins-Wharf-Waterfront-Condo.h105428892.Hotel-Information) > - [City Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-City-Park-Hotel.h7768803.Hotel-Information) > - [Imagine Marco](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Imagine-Marco.h17053183.Hotel-Information) > - [Readyset Townhouses at Mosaic](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Docklands-Serenity.h107043708.Hotel-Information) > - [3-bedroom house in lovely St Kilda with WiFi, AC](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-3-Bedroom-House-In-Lovely-St-Kilda-With-WiFi.h111901750.Hotel-Information) > - [MICHAELS SCANDI FAMILY ENTERTAINER BEACH HOUSE, RYE](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-MICHAELS-SCANDI-BEACH-HOUSE.h72611390.Hotel-Information) > - [The Navigator with heated pool and spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-The-Perfect-Peninsula-Base-With-Gas-Heated-Pool-And-Spa.h83135817.Hotel-Information) > - [Lochiel Luxury Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Lochiel-Luxury-Accommodation.h3525615.Hotel-Information)
