I had a few short stays at Dickins recently and it was an exceptional experience. The rooms are classy, immaculate and comfortable. The location is super handy next to the Woodend main street and all of its amenities. The host Emily kindly provided me with several treats during my stay and was very cheerful and helpful. She went above and beyond to accommodate last minute extensions to my stays. Thank you Emily and team.

My partner and I recently stayed here for the weekend so I could be close to my mother. The experience was seamless with self check in, the lamps were on for us and it felt really welcoming after coming across from Perth we were very cold! The location is excellent, we were able to walk to get morning coffees and for dining out, and to explore the town, and there is many other things to do and explore in the region. The Dickens is the perfect place to have as your base, it feels quite homely and we will most definitely be staying here again. Basically everything you’d want in your accomodation, The Dickens has.

You had me at the red front door. A modern age motel but presenting as a cottage. Beautifully decorated, clean and bright. Very comfortable beds and warm on a chilly, wet weekend. Close to all the town's restaurants and the Vic Hotel where we enjoyed the guitarist on a Saturday night. We had 3 adults sharing a room and found it spacious enough to move around freely.

Charming, cosy, spotlessly clean, well-appointed, un quiet location, comfortable. Lovely support staff, easily contactable. Comfortable bed, good Wi-Fi. Fab that we can park our car right at the front door. The bathroom is split over two rooms, toilet in one and shower in the other. The basin is with the toilet and is tiny. Only a mild inconvenience, but fine for short-term stays.

Wonderfully convenient location and stylish accommodation. Designed as 'short stay': rooms are compact and comfortable with facilities for snack/light meal preparation, recognising there are numerous great cafes and restaurants very nearby.Emily couldn't be a more thoughtful and helpful host.
