Hotel Etico at Mount Victoria Manor

Lots of olde worlde ambience, snugs and fireplaces, yet the ‘standard queen’ bedroom and ensuite have been renovated to a good modern size and standard. The bed was very comfortable, all the linen was good quality and everything was clean. We enjoyed the garden, relaxing on the verandah and listening to the cicadas. The full breakfast buffet was a great start to the day and thoughtfully stocked with vegan and gluten-free products such as coconut yoghurt and dairy-free butter. The service from the staff and trainees was exemplary - kind, caring and attentive. It is impressive that Etico is a social enterprise supporting young disadvantaged people with training, employment and accommodation. A laudable concept that deserves support.

This awesome hotel ticks all the boxes. A quiet oasis in a beautiful setting. It's got charm, heart and bucketloads of old fashioned hospitality. The rooms are a great size and the beds are beautifully comfortable. We stayed for two nights and dined in both nights. The bar has a cosy fire and is the perfect spot for a pre-dinner drink - there was even some live music on the Friday night. The food was great with excellent gluten free options. Breakfast was an unexpected bonus and set us up beautifully for for a couple of serious hikes. And to top it off... the hotel provides supported employment options for young people living with disability that helps carve out a pathway to independence. We'll be back!
