"This is a wonderful acknowledgement of what Montfort Manor strives to offer. We are honoured to have also won this category, Hosted Accommodation, in 2012 & 2010.

"The awards celebrate the achievements of those who strive for tourism excellence and quality and to make Victoria a world-class tourism destination."

More than 150 tourism operators competed in 27 business categories, with another three individual and group awards presented at a gala ceremony on 11 November.

As a Victorian Tourism Awards-winner, Montfort Manor will go on to represent Victoria at the Qantas 2014 Australian Tourism Awards in Sydney in February 2014.
