The Sebel Yarrawonga in Victoria's Murray River region, adjacent to Silverwoods Golf and Lifestyle Resort, is set to open its doors to customers and guests on 1 November 2020, following the recent relaxation of restrictions for regional Victoria.
Victoria's regional tourism industry will be given a boost next month when The Sebel Yarrawonga opens its doors.
Situated an hours’ drive from Albury town centre, the venue will offer 63 appointed studios rooms and apartments, with a further 54 rooms expected in Stage 2 of the development later in 2022/2023.
It will initially open two of its three food and beverage venues – Stock & Barrel bar and casual dining and Sunset Pool Bar – with Elizabeth’s fine dining restaurant and functions set to open in December.

The announcement of the opening date comes after COVID restrictions were eased across regional Victoria.
The Sebel Yarrawonga General Manager Rebecca Russell said the challenges of the past couple of months had made staff even more excited to welcome the first guests.
"It has been a challenging year but we are finally ready to see the hotel buzzing with locals and regional travellers and eventually, guests from Melbourne and interstate,” she said.

“The restrictions have made it a little more difficult to recruit the team at the moment. Initially, customers and guests can enjoy gatherings at Stock & Barrel and the Sunset Bar until Elizabeth’s is open for business.
"We will, of course, be compliant to any restrictions in place for the safety of guests and staff."

Simon McGrath AM, Chief Executive Officer for Accor Pacific, said brands such as The Sebel brought quality and credibility to the serviced apartments sector, which had been rapidly growing in popularity.
"We are expecting to see a boom in this area, particularly in the current climate, as serviced apartments limit unnecessary contact with other guests and offer a safe and secure way to travel," he said.
