We stayed in the Eliza Romantic apartment. The room was outdated, pool and amenities were dirty on both days, no signs of any cleaning. The room was spacious, with new aircon, but in need of a new coat of paint and spa bath replaced. Location has a country feel and is close to Mornington shops

Overall room was ok, clean and tea/coffee making available. The bed seemed quite hard to my wife but was ok for me. TV did not work on free to air channels so could only get 9Now digital and couldnt download any other TV apps.

Great location for us

Laurie the owner was lovely. I phoned ahead to advise we were running late & it wasn’t a problem. On arrival we chatted with Laurie for about 1/2 hr - great communication and quite a lot in common with us. Lots of plans to change how the venue and how it is used. On approach the accommodation looks in need of tlc but it’s happening. Our room was very comfortable and had all we needed for a nights stay.

A 3 night stay.

Bed was clean and fresh. It is a case of you get what you pay for. The owner was helpful and friendly. Towels need replacing. Bathroom is only big enough for one person. Badly in need of renovations which l believe will be addressed. Noisy neighbours made sleep impossible on the last night.

Very conveniently located between Frankston and Mornington, the two places where I had to go. The room smelled stuffy and smoke from outside had probably entered the room. No ironing board or hangers were provided. The images provided online do not truly reflect the condition of the property.

We were lucky to be able to have our dog with us. Paid $30 per night(which is about normal). The bed was reasonably comfortable and linen clean. There was a lot of mould in the shower and around the toilet floor. The toilet brush needed throwing out. The outside was not well maintained. Had to avoid dog poo outside where our car was parked. Not quite the experience we would prefer. We had to ask for a tea towel and cooking pans and used our own kitchen utensils. No bathmat. Staff were obliging and friendly.Would not stay again.
