We’re warmly welcomed by the reception with highly efficient check-in process. We could park the car in front of the room which was very convenient to us. The room was spacious with one double bed and one single bed. There were electric blankets in addition to split heating/cooling air conditioner providing a comfortable rest. WiFi was stable and reliable at reasonable speed. It’s an excellent stay in Great Ocean Road.

Great place with easy parking at the door and friendly staff. The room was well equipped with smart tv,microwave, toaster, coffee maker and lots of glassware and utensils. I would not recommend to pay more for jet bathtub that is well worn and we did have balcony on ocean drive with outside table and 2 chairs, so you see the ocean only on the sides because in front trees block view.
