Keenly awaiting the opening of this gracefully restored heritage highlight in Violet Town, we were delighted to step into this beautifully restored, cleverly renovated red brick beauty, immediately feeling the cosiness mixed with class, the grace, the grit and grind invested in making any stay here easily relaxing. A building built for hospitality requires unique and rare souls to offer such welcome, professional generosity and attentiveness that 'serving' the public demands. Leeonie and Neal and staff are the right people in the right place. We look forward to many more weekends away feeling at home away from home at Honeysuckle Inn and hope that in this day and age that all their customers can shake off their modern-day modes at the front door and embrace all the building imbues from a time of etiquette, elegance, courtesy, cosiness and good old-fashioned hospitality. Regards and thanks, Helene & Justin MortlockPosted on Helene MortlockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just want to say thank you so much for leaving the tree in the parking lot with the toys nailed on it me and my grandad did that weekly as a little fun thing expecteing it to go down but after years it's still there thank you for leaving it there and hopefully it stays By the way leonne and Neil sound really funPosted on Ayden WalshTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently booked the wine bar/ lounge at the Honeysuckle Inn for a Celebration Of Life event and we cannot sing our praises to Leeonie and Neil and all the staff enough. Exceptional country hospitality, nothing was too difficult, their patience, care, and their genuine above and beyond attitude. The catering options available were extensive and impressive, and did not disappoint on the day. Thank you so much guys for making our event so special! So wonderful to see the Honeysuckle Inn not only back up and operating again after a painfully long hiatus but actually knocking it out of the park and doing Violet Town proud. Don't hesitate to consider holding your event here be it a birthday party, a 50th anniversary, a wake, a work function, or anything in-between at this venue! This kind of genuine hospitality, care, and service is hard to find nowadays. Congratulations Leeonie and Neil on a fantastic thing you have going there and our sincere thanks once again.Posted on Paul NovoselTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. THE BEST PLACE TO STAY!! Have been meaning to do a review for months on the Honeysuckle Inn in Violet Town!! My partner and I travelled up this way to buy a camper van. Got to our destination of Benalla late, bought the van and headed on our way.. up the highway the van completely crapped it dacks and we were stuck! Battery dead! Tried everything and everyone.. no help, fortunately with the lights off we chugged down to Violet town with hopes of finding a place to pull up. We had no mattress and it was past 9pm. Called the Honeysuckle Inn and told them our sitch - They were so incredible! Quickly set us up a room for the night, had a good yarn with the legends who own the inn and then as we were settling into our room, got a knock on the door and they had a plate of sausage rolls for us!! We were so grateful, they turned a stressful situation into one of our most memorable experiences! While their hospitality was fantastic, the rooms were absolutely stunning! Beds-10/10 comfy! Bathrooms - amazing!! It felt like a modern and clean place but still with its old charm! We love you guys and you truely saved us! Will definitely be back and have raved about this place ever since! Thankyou to the legends at Honeysuckle Inn, you won’t be forgotten ❤️❤️Posted on Abbie CozensTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such a lovely time at Leonie and Neil’s Honeysuckle Inn. They were so thoughtful! When we mentioned we’d go to the pool that afternoon, they provided us with pool toys. When we were having breakfast, they offered to hold our baby so we would have free hands. When our toddler was being picky, they cooked off menu pancakes for him. The rooms were great too. They were clean and fresh and had fancy soaps! They even provided a comprehensive toy box in the kids’ room. Watching the sunset on the balcony was a highlight. We’ll definitely be back.Posted on Cassandra MahonyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently held my husband's memorial service at Honeysuckle Inn. Leeonie guided me and my family through the process, and was always available via phone if I needed any information (usually information that I'd forgotten!) - nothing was too much trouble. It was a really lovely day. Leeonie arranged everything - flowers, food and technology to make sure our family and guests had a memorable day - and memorable it was (according to the feedback from everyone - the food was delicious). I didn't have to worry about anything - even accommodation for visiting family! Thank you Leeonie and Neil for making this occasion such a 'happy' one at a very sad and difficult time for our family.
