This was a great find - an amazing location for a quiet night and generous breakfast included. The room was spotless, the bed comfortable and the inclusion of a pod machine in the room and an espresso machine in the common area was much appreciated. Staff were lovely and friendly and if we were back in Geelong we would definitely stay here again.

Lovely property. Super efficient check in and check out. Wonderful breakfast and tea and coffee available throughout the day. The room itself was spotless and perfect for a short stay. The bathroom is fantastic and large. The pool looked very inviting but we did not have time to try it this time around. Cannot fault the hotel. Will absolutely be back. Thank you for a lovely stay.
