It was very clean and the room was spacious, although there was some noise from the bar downstairs, overall experience was good.

We really enjoyed our stay. Was great having the restaurant downstairs and the food was delicious. It was a basic room, but that's all we needed for overnight. Spectacular view of the bay.

Good for one night stops along the great ocean road, rooms are above the bar — so noise is as expected, but it stopped around 10pm. Washrooms and showers could use an upgrade though. Overall adequate for a budget stay.

Friendly staff Quiet and safe. Very clean .
The rooms had a comfy bed and water taps and a support for cases. However there was no chair. Also a tv would have greatly increased the comfort of the room for minimal cost .

This is an amazing Hotel with its own signature Vodka, Gin and numerous boutique beers. The tasting room and bottle shop everyone should experience at least once and right opposite the beach. Location! Location! Location! Great food , great parking and nice friendly staff.

It toke them 1 hour to clean and make it available after check in time. The airconditioning was very poor and we were very old during the night.

Great location and beer was nice, but rooms were dirty and beds very uncomfortable, you can hear loud music until about 11pm. Shared bathrooms were dirty and only 2 showers and toilets for all the rooms.. wouldn’t recommend if you need a good rest, but guess it’s cheaper option if you’re on a budget.. could be cheaper for what it is, a hostel..

Location was good. Never go back to stay as holiday with family because no water facilities and my kids got sick due to using sink water in the room 8. No toiletries given, back access where bad smelling coming, toilet was not clean. I do not recommend to visit in this accommodation with family.

I was a bit disappointed with the lack of the little things eg: coffee and tea making facilities , little soaps in bedroom, tissues and extra pillows, it would have made all the difference, especially for what they were charging for the night.

One of the worst property.
The access is utter nonsense.
The room barely had anything.
Couldn’t sleep because of noise till 1am.

Room wasn’t available till after 5.30pm. Beds were comparable to sleeping on the ground, clean sheets with stained covers. Tap in room leaked constantly. Shared bathroom was dirty, piss on the ground and condoms in the sink. The pub itself is ok but I’d never stay there again.

Staff were excellent. Very friendly and efficient.
Room was minimalist but comfortable. No TV or coffee/tea production option. Hallway light beamed into the room all night through a window above the entry door (no blind or curtain). Doors were ultra thin so every noise was heard (People walking to, during and from shared bathroom use. Door very squeaky.

The pub itself is nice thou I didn’t drink or eat here
The room a queen bed it was only just ok
The shared bathroom and toilet were not cleaned once during my two nights stay with other guests leftover empty shower gel bottles on the shower floor a full rubbish bin and no paper towel the whole time, both toilets and showers should be cleaned morning and night especially being that they are shared amongst all guests A bath mat should also be offered
The room was not made on the second day I had to ask for fresh days which a friendly young man got for us
I also found it strange to have to enter from the outside around the back up some undercovered steel stairs that could be dangerous if you slipped

I’m not even sure where to start with this review. It would be easier to just say the only good thing was that the showers had hot water. The standard of this accommodation is best comparable to that of a hostel, except it comes with a price tag of $195!
No bin in room
No lamp in room
No tissues in room
No tea and coffee in room
Door doesn’t lock properly
Door loud and creaky
Floorboards and bed creaky
Cold tap squeals, hot tap roasting
Constant noice from something motorised below, this continued all night long
No plug available for sink or bath (apparently there was a leak from the bath a while ago, so they removed plugs to stop anyone using bath! - how about fix it or put an out or order sign on it)
Wifi rubbish
Bathrooms old and neglected
Shared bathroom doors slam shut (wakes everyone up)
Rust marks from shower fittings
No signs of any renovations in at least the last 30 years
No hotel ambience or any evidence of someone at least trying to make it look nice (example no cushions, plump pillows)
There was nobody around to feedback to on checkout, so I offered feedback by email (and requested a refund) and no response to date.
I am leaving this review simply because I do not want anybody else to pay this sort of price for accommodation and expect a reasonable standard of accommodation, because it’s far from reasonable.

Beskidt værelse. Dårlig vedligeholdelse. Alt for dyrt…
