About this hotel
General information
Lancemore Mansion Hotel Werribee Park occupies a nineteenth-century estate set in four hectares of English parkland, with landscaped gardens, broad lawns and trees more than a century old. From 1920 to 1973 the buildings housed St Joseph’s Catholic seminary; later the estate served as a film location, and after careful restoration it now operates as a boutique hotel.
Rooms pair contemporary comfort with the heritage of the house, and the hotel is anchored by Joseph’s Dining, the L.M. Spa with its hammam and indoor pool, a fireside library, a snooker room and event spaces including a Marquee for up to 280 guests, plus outdoor settings. Weddings are hosted here, with dedicated programmes for newlyweds, and there is a concierge, business services, a gift boutique, laundry and parking.
Location
The hotel sits within Werribee Park on the edge of Werribee, about 35 km south-west of central Melbourne – roughly half an hour by car. Its neighbours are the historic Werribee Park Mansion, open to visitors, and the Werribee Open Range Zoo.
Spa
L.M. Spa has a traditionally tiled hammam, a steam room, tranquillity suites and treatment rooms, and spa guests may also use the 17-metre heated indoor pool and the gym. The menu covers massage (including hot stone and pregnancy treatments), facials with DermaLux LED therapy, scrubs, wraps and aromatherapy.
Sports & leisure
The gym, steam room and 17-metre heated indoor pool are open daily; the house has a snooker room, and around it lie four hectares of English gardens and the polo fields.
For children
Families can take the 2 Bedroom Family Suite, which sleeps five, or a Superior Room interconnecting with a Junior Suite. Children can join treasure hunts through the grounds, and during school holidays L.M. Spa offers them Pamper & Polish treatments.
