I am not sure how people going to conferences at the Mansion Hotel will ever do any work.
There are beautiful, minimalist hotel rooms to lounge in, lovely restaurants to eat in, garden strolls to enjoy, and a gym and massage centre to visit.
The Werribee complex bills itself as a boutique hotel with cutting-edge meeting facilities, but it is also just a ticket for a mini holiday; a night away from home.
The hotel has been created behind the restored Victorian mansion built by a wealthy Scottish family, the Chirnsides.
A 1920s addition to the mansion, it was a one-time Catholic seminary and now houses the hotel.
The hotel is located on K Road, Werribee just a 20-minutes drive from the Melbourne CBD.
After checking out your room, tastefully decked out in grey, black and beige, then choose what you will do next.
A drink at the bar, a meal in Joseph’s restaurant or perhaps stay in for room service.
You can visit the opulent rooms of restored mansion with a personal audio guide, or spend time in the beautiful gardens the Chirnsides landscaped to put a bit of Scotland between them and the hostile Australian bush of the 1800s.
A few minutes’ drive from the hotel is Victoria’s Open Range Zoo where you can get a close, fence-free look at roaming grassland animals.
At the hotel, for a piece de resistance, book your time in The Spa. Do make sure you book ahead.
Fancy a facial or a massage? This is the perfect place to relax and unwind as the calm-inducing staff and aromatherapy oils work their magic.
Head to the gym for a workout and do some laps in the indoor pool, or if you must, use the conference room, library or boardroom for work.
Helpful staff and lay-back professional mean this hotel just outside Melbourne is great for work or play.
I truly find the Mansion Hotel is the place to enjoy yourself.
