Echuca Gardens

This is not a bad place to stay however we probably would have been able to get more comfortable accommodation elsewhere. We arrived in the evening and was greeted quite nicely by the gentleman who then showed us our cabin we stayed in the gypsy cabin. It was quite unique and small however we did expect that. The furnishings such as curtains bedspreads etc weren’t up to par and were quite old and dusty. The kitchen had everything you would need but again outdated and old. Other than a microwave there is no ability to cook in the kitchen. The dining table takes up a bit of room however the couch to sit on to use the dining table is not sufficient for anyone with a big butt! In my opinion they should get rid of the dining table and build in couch and replace those with a normal couch and sidetable potentially. The bedspread had an iron burn on it which is easily replaced even from Kmart is less than $50! It did look presentable however the bed was rather hard and the pillows were very old and used. Again these things can be replaced quite cheaply but it looks as though they haven’t bothered much with decor at the property. The bathroom is sufficient and had a toilet a sink and a small shower. The gardens were not up kept unfortunately which let the place down because the photos show beautiful gardens. The area where the cabins are is quite pretty and lit by fairy lights. All of the grass is fake however but it still looks nice. The gardens were a disappointment, the most important thing about staying anywhere for any reason is the sleeping arrangements and unfortunately the bed in the cabin did not succeed in comfort in anyway. It is only a double bed so we were quite cramped and being tall it was hard to get comfortable even on a hard bed With over used pillows! A bit of a disappointment unfortunately if we were going for a couples retreat we wouldn’t come here again. However it is suitable for an overnight stay if you want basic accommodation.
