    Situated on busy main road.

    Nice clean well presented motel room with a comfortable bed. The jug and toaster were very efficient and the room had a few extra touches of furniture for extra comfort.

    Property was old but comfortable and was good value for the price. We thought traffic noise may bother us but it was not a problem.

    Excellent location. Close to Spirit of Tasmania terminal and not far from Geelong waterfront with many good dining options.

    The room smelled strongly of whatever cleaning agent had been used before we arrived, so we needed to open windows etc. But at least we knew it had been cleaned and the smell dispersed through the evening.

    Very conveniently located to the Spirit of Tasmania berth. We were late checking in and the owner had left the room unlocked for us which made it very easy upon our arrival. (He also messaged us to advise same, much appreciated.) The room was of a good size, clean and the bed was comfortable. Air conditioning worked well and was very quiet! All the facilities, such as kettle, toaster crockery and cutlery were provided.

    A little dated but not an issue as it is a motel.

    Spacious room, brick walls kept the room cool, comfy beds. A little dated but didn’t mind it.

    We did not manage to connect to the WiFi, nor the streaming services. However, we were so tired that we decided not to worry about this. We watched some Free to Air TV and went to sleep.

    Ripponside is on the main road into Geelong. It was easy to access after spending the day with family celebrating Boxing Day, We had traveled from Hamilton, Western Victoria, earlier in the day and wanted a rest before returning home. Other guests staying at Ripponside that night were mainly spending a night in Geelong before boarding the Spirit of Tasmania the next morning. I got up early and went down the Spirit of Tasmania terminal to see the ship arrive. The terminal at Geelong is much better than the ones at Port Melbourne and Devonport. The coffee at the Anchors Rest Cafe was good. It was nice to relax and have some 'time out'.
