About

Elizabethan Lodge - Melbourne

Elizabethan Lodge sits on Middleborough Road in North Blackburn, about 4.6 km from Fulton Reserve. The property includes a garden and picnic area, and offers free parking, luggage storage and vending machines. Rooms range from standard twins to two-bedroom apartments, all with heating, air conditioning and tea/coffee facilities.

Guests consistently mention the helpful, friendly staff and the ease of getting in and out. The lodge keeps things simple: no pets, no smoking, and check-in between 14:00 and 23:59. While the location is convenient for those with a car, it’s not a central hotel — you’ll want transport to explore Melbourne properly.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Strong overall guest ratings — With an 8.5 average from 951 reviews, ratings are consistently high across most categories — General 9.1, Staff 9.0, Facilities 8.9, Rooms 8.8.
  • Free, convenient parking — Multiple reviewers highlight the free parking and the car park's proximity to the rooms, plus easy access to freeways and expressways.
  • Friendly and helpful staff — Guests repeatedly note the staff's helpfulness — from heating the room before arrival to providing a hair dryer and adapters, and arranging a last-minute spa suite with champagne.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Comfort scores lower than other categories — While most ratings are 8.4 or above, Comfort sits at 7.3 — the only category below 8. Some guests may find the bedding or room temperature less than ideal.
  • Not for everyone despite decent location — A few reviewers note the lodge is fine for business or visiting family, but some would not choose to stay again — possibly due to the out-of-centre location or dated feel.
  • No pets and a limited check-in window — Pets are not allowed, and check-in only runs from 14:00 to 23:59 — late arrivals past midnight may not be accommodated.
