Testimonials
What Our Customers Say
We have had a wonderful stay at the Foothills Conference Centre for three days and two nights. We attended a Retreat with about 100 guests. The venue is very nice, quiet, clean and close to the nature. The room, bed, toilet are spacious and large, very comfortable. The Air Conditioning in the room is good warming up the room in Melbourne winter days. The conference facilities are good, well maintained. We had our dinner at the restaurant and were very nice. The cuisine prepared by the Chefs were amazing. All in all, the Centre offers us a good relaxing experience meeting our needs. We hope we will come back one day. Thank you.
beautiful place for any occasion…our church had a conference here for a week…highly recommended
Loved it! Stayed here for a church camp and the service and their facilities cannot be faulted. It was above excellent. Standard room was lovely and I would definitely return. They're very attentive to customer satisfaction.
Our first church conference in 3 years (due to COVID lockdowns) - Foothills was the perfect place! Rooms are first-rate, food is gourmet and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. We will be back!
