Racv Healesville Country Club & Resort

The perfect stay.

The room, parking and check in experience were all excellent. Breakfast was also very good. Well done RACV - never had anything other than an enjoyable stay at one of your resorts.

This is a nice place which has nearly everything you could ask for, but there could be a few improvements made. The spa and sauna area is great but needs to get cleaned, there was the same shaving stubble on the steamroom wall for the 4 days we were there, so clearly nobody is cleaning it. The change room and room showers need to have a good clean too. There is no public transport into town if you want to go into town for a drink so it is a good 20 minute walk in there as there is no Ubers out in Healesville. They offer a set of golf clubs to use the 4 hole short course down the back, but they only have one set of clubs which are suited to short people, so if you’re over 5’4” it’s no good to you. Apart from that the rooms are big and it’s very quiet and the restaurant is not bad either, it was a fairly pleasant stay.

Accommodation side is great. We were upgraded from lawn view to golf course view. Reception were friendly and efficient, but I can’t really say the same for staff in Riddell’s Green bar/restaurant. Some of them seemed very pained to be there. Just a thought, but could the resort run a shuttle for the few minutes into town?

We had a large comfortable room. The ac could not be adjusted and we felt very cold. The room was quiet and clean. Staff were friendly. We did not like the exclusive nature of aspects of the resort which were for members only. We were lent some tennis ball which were very dead and useless for a hit of tennis. The pool area was clean and well maintained. Other racv resorts offer a more inclusive experience.

The Healesville club is a space to breathe. We find it’s the most serene of the RACV/Q places to stay. This visit delivered the usual great experience we’ve come to expect. We enjoyed walking around the grounds to take in the countryside. The kangaroos were exceptionally numerous for some reason compared to other visits. We spent a long time gazing at their grazing. As always, we found time for the pool, gym and big bouncy cushion. The club offers a decent choice of dining options with one restaurant offering finer dining and the other more casual. We chose casual this time, and had satisfying meals that also met our tricky dietary requirements. We look forward to our next visit!
