Overall we had a good experience. The property was well located and we enjoyed our time.
However the BBQ was not clean, the oven was filthy. we had to clean both before we could use them.
The kids were so excited to use the spa yet it wouldn't heat properly and two of the people who stayed have spas at home so we knew what we were doing.
There were cigarette butts everywhere out the back near the BBQ.
If I am the owner I am questioning who is cleaning the property.

Dinner Plain is a delight ...close to the skifields and then all mod cons nearby in the cute village within walking distance ...a family would very much enjoy this spot in both winter and summer.

Plenty of space in the property for several couples. Location is excellent. Great to have to car spaces with additional as requested. Spa was a lovely inclusion. Needs an upgrade in a lot of areas, had an ant problem, no slow cooker as listed, no gas for bbq, bunk bed mattresses do not fill the whole bed base which was not optimal for sleeping, kitchen cupboards do not close properly, overall tired presentation.

Great stay with everything we needed. Drying room was a bit small for our needs, but the location of the chalet was perfect. Once the spa heated up the kids had a ball.

Family reunion
My children, grandchildren, partner and I spent the long weekend together. The chalet was perfect for us. It was well equipped and very comfortable. Communication with the owner was good and all instructions clear and reasonable. We had a lovely time in a very interesting and picturesque area.

House was very comfortable, extremely clean, warm & cosy and well equipped. Plenty of cutlery, crockery and cooking utensils. Heating was excellent. Located in a quiet little lane, a short walk from the village. Can’t recommend this property highly enough.

We loved this place. One of our members was mobility impaired but found it easy to move around. It’s close to the village shops and ski field. The kitchen had everything. And the spa was a bonus. Would stay here again.

we had a lovely stay at the Recovery Room unfortunately the beds are old and uncomfortable and the place has thin walls so you can hear every noise. The place needs maintenance as it is run down for the price. Josie and Nicki were however helpful

Plenty of room for two families
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Recovery Room, and found the floorplan worked well for our two families. The hot tub was enjoyed by kids and adults, and the large dining table was excellent for shared meals. Similar to other reviews, the place is in need of a thorough clean - it was ok, but really just surface cleaned. Perhaps this reflected being late in the ski season. The two beds downstairs were not comfortable, and some maintenance is required on the upstairs bunks. None of this impacted on the enjoyment of our holiday however, and many happy life-long memories were made.

A little dusty and neglected but very cosy and practical
The place is in need of a very thorough clean. The amount of dust triggered asthma for a couple of us, kitchen utensils were dirty and grease was dripping from the stove range-hood. Doona's and pillows were stained, around 10 down-lights were not working, the washing machine tap was leaking and game consoles did not work (although this was probably a good thing). Not what you expect for the price you pay. The day before our stay, we were also told that the wood heater was not working because the excess snow bent the flue on the roof - it was such a shame as we were looking forward to having the fire to provide us with that ambiance but these things happen at no fault of anyone specifically. Having said all that though, Nicki was fantastic, she really tried to attend to all the issues above in a timely manner. And apart from the issues, the chalet is very practical and very warm - there were heaters in every room and it was always cosy. Toilets, showers and bathrooms were generally clean (Be sure to bring toilet paper as only a couple of rolls were provided). The spa room is an excellent idea and very relaxing after a day of skiing. The place is the perfect size for 10 people. There were 2 car spaces right out the front door which was very handy. The location is absolutely fantastic - we were in walking distance to bus stop, snow fields, restaurants/pubs, ski hire, etc. The kids loved playing in the snow outside while we kept an eye from inside. The snow experience for beginners and young families is fantastic in Dinner Plain and I would have easily given this place 5 stars if we didn't have so many issues which really wouldn't have taken much for them to be fixed. Would love to go back again if things improved or find another place nearby.

A delightful stay!
A late review, but better late than never! We stayed here last season in August and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The chalet has all the comforts of home and is within walking distance to all amenities within the village. Great restaurants and ski hire nearby. The only thing I felt could have been improved was the duvet covers - I felt as if they weren't fresh after the previous guests. But those as small nit pickings and easily rectified. The spa was a delightful addition and we enjoyed a glass of wine by the fire in the evenings. We were lucky enough to come when the snow had freshly fallen and was in abundance. Highly recommend The Recovery Room. The booking process went smoothly with no complications. We would definitely stay again.

Blissful summer retreat
We loved our stay at the recovery room. Summer time up at dinner plain was fantastic as not many people around and still plenty to do. Nicki was so helpful and truly made our stay fantastic! It was great for a group of people and we can all imagine coming back another time.

Fantastic Property to Stay
We had a group of 10 stay and there was plenty of room for everyone to move around. The built in lounge was a favourite for everyone after a long day on the slopes, likewise the indoor spa.
The heating system in the house was perfect unlike other places, the central control made it really easy to adjust and turn on/off.
This will definitely be our first choice for seasons to come.

Great place for a ski trip
We stayed here for a family ski week. 6 adults and 4 kids fitted nicely. Very nice and convenient and comfortable place to stay. A couple of minutes walk from the Hotham Bus, and only slightly further to the shops and Dinner Plain ski lift. Well equipped kitchen. Spa was a nice extra. Parking is a little tricky when it is dark and snowing but OK when you can see. Will be my first choice if staying near here again.

Great property
A group of 10 of us stayed here for a weekend in the snow, comfortably fit us all in and the spa is great!
Although the spa was freezing cold the first night and takes over 10 hours to heat, we could not use it the first night, this was very disappointing.. It was explained to us that if the spa had to be refilled from the previous people, there is not anything that can be done about it. But the spa was not even heating when we got there, we had to turn it on.
Also, we did not get our instructions about how to get into the property from the owner we until 9pm at night! This is not satisfactory. Luckily the manager of the property gave us instructions or else we would have been waiting in the cold for hours!
The DVD player/sound system is hard to work and there is no instructions..
Overall, we had a great time and would stay there again

Fantastic property!
A very comfortable house to fit a big family. Everything is a short walking distance away. The spa is good after a long day of skiing/snowboarding. All the bedrooms have their own heater (much appreciated by my in-laws).The house is very clean and maintained really well. I'll definitely come back here again!

Luxury stay during winter with a bonus indoor spa!
My partner, our dog and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Recovery Room. It is very spacious (pictures does not justify it), clean, well equipped and of course a little extra of luxury, the indoor spa! It was very warm during our stay as there are wall heaters throughout the property including the bathrooms.
It is well located, within short walking distance to the town centre, restaurants and bus stop. Would highly recommend to families, friends and pet owners. Looking forward to our next trip at the Recovery Room!
