Trevor Australia

very clean. Convenient for our visiting program. Easy to find. The weather was a bit cold but probably not much the owner could do about that.

Phil Australia

The beds were very comfortable and our room was nice and quiet. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was excellent, being close to the Geelong CBD and waterfront, and central to the antique shops and centres we visited.

Dean Australia

Had every thing we needed for our quick stay - comfortable bed, roomy shower, spacious room and an iron (we were going for a wedding). The little details were what really made me glad we chose this place and it was very affordable. The smallest detail I really liked what the little jug they provided so you could easily fill the kettle without trying to get the whole kettle under the sink tap.

Elinor Australia

Very friendly and helpful staff. The room was spacious, clean and pleasant, it felt private and comfortable. Enough amenities, good value for the price.

Ryo Australia

Very friendly and helpful staff, spotlessly clean, spacious room
