The hotel is quiet and parking out the front of your unit is convenient. The rooms are clean and tidy. Great to have toaster and microwave as options when travelling. Overhead fan and air-conditioning is great for summer nights. No WiFi was offered and the pool area is overgrown and looks unloved and inviting. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

A handy location on a quiet road near Geelong.

We were greeted by a friendly lady who checked us in & made a point of telling us to let her know if we needed anything extra, e.g. crockery or cutlery. The motel is obviously older and the grounds & buildings could do with a serious re-vamp paint and tidy up. The gazebo and bbq were disappointing, not all that clean and the chairs were spattered with bird droppings. Such a shame as the nearby pond and creek could be a lovely feature of the outdoor area if the entire yard was tidied. Seeing the clutter around the managers residence and shed nearby detracted from the grounds. Apart from these negatives, our overall stay was peaceful & the bed was comfy and room was spacious.

Quiet Comfortable Motel

This is a very nice motel. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The motel is very close to Deakin University Waurn Ponds campus. And there is all you would need for shopping and eating very close by - probably 5 minutes or less drive. But staying at the motel you feel as if you are in the country.

Pretty basic

The hotel was in a lovely secluded location, and the receptionist was friendly. Plenty of spare pillows and blankets were provided - necessary, given that the heat pump was broken and the walls were uninsulated brick. The room was comfortably appointed and clean but very cramped, and though I had a phone it did not connect to reception. Not an unpleasant stay, but certainly not worth what I paid for it.
