Guest Reviews

• Natalie (9/5): Our stay was short but perfect for our needs. We had everything we needed and more. Thank you 😊 - Everything was brilliant it's just the location if you want a holiday stay. It's the perfect place for an event, a one or two night travelling stay, convention or if you need a place when visiting family etc. Convention centres are an under rated place to stay. They are usually super clean, efficient and lots of things to do like pool, gym, walks etc This place didn't disappoint! It was perfect for us and the mothers day breakfast was a delightful bonus.
• Steven (10/5): -
• Moira (8/5): -
• Gordon (9/5): -
• Rebecca (9/5): Convenient overnight stay with delicious breakfast - Breakfast was great with lots of options. The room and bed were comfortable. I enjoyed the trees and plants around the building. There were about 20-30 dead ants in the bathroom that looked like maybe they had fallen from the ceiling. It was not a big deal, but a little gross. When I informed the front desk upon checkout, they didn’t apologize, but were more concerned about whether or not the ants were alive.
• Adriana (10/5): -
• Lazarus (8/5): -
• Peter (10/5): We would highly recommend a stay at this excellent location - The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful to any request we had. Our room was excellent and very comfortable. Food was all very fresh and of a high standard. Nothing
• Adriana (10/5): -
• Dave (10/5): Only had an over night stop but the room was excellent and the breakfast was good quality - Room was large with excellent facilities
• Sherilee (9/5): We will be back. - We had a fabulous time. A lovely room, awesome swim and perfect breakfast.
• StevoK (10/5): - The pool and the breakfast. Lack of bedside lights in room.

• Jake (8/5): -
• Chris (7/5): - Lovely setting on the rural campus. TV didn't pick up the ABC channels. Lack of facility to hang a hand towel and a 2nd bath towel.
• Katherine 2000 (8/5): -
• Alexandre (8/5): -
• Ewa (10/5): A perfect relaxing location between Geelong and the Great Ocean Rd - Cleanliness of the Rooms and facility of the Estate in general. The most comfy pillows to sleep on! A filling delicious breakfast that was inclusive of price. Tennis courts we didn't get a chance to use as well as an outdoor small pool. Fantastic location away from main roads and with a Shopping Centre not too far away. Relaxation and peace in mind. Clean fresh air and sensory awekening whilst walking through serene grounds of the Estate. Love the natural surroundings.

• Ben (8/5): -
• Jimmy (10/5): -
• Cveta (10/5): - Everything
• Harrison (9/5): - Was very clean and super comfy aswell as super good value for money
• Rilley (10/5): -
• Jennifer (10/5): -
• stephane (8/5): sejour tres agreable - voiture indispensable
• Philippa (8/5): - Great place, nice breakfast - lovely staff! As it was hot when we visited the common areas were a bit warm, and would be great to have dinner options at night on a weekend
• Tania (8/5): Great base to explore areas around Geelong and the coast. - Quiet, peaceful location during summer uni break.
• Bonnie (7/5): You'll probably love staying here (but bring your own pillow and a bottle of bug-spray just in case) - There was a lot we liked: the interesting architecture broken up into different levels with many short flights of stairs, the artworks, the natural setting with the heavenly scent of trees and bushes surrounding the building. The breakfast spread had everything you could possibly want (except for the tiny, unattractive plates and the fruit salad of fermenting strawberries and watermelon that made me a bit unwell immediately after eating - minor detail). Everything looked spotless but the bedding had a musty odour and there was a large scary spider in our room (understandable with the surrounding bushland). Since restful sleep was important to us, our stay was ruined by the musty odour of bedding (probably pillows) and the big, fat, black spider on the cornice. Both issues kept us awake until small hours, when we finally succumbed to exhaustion. At bedtime, the staff did hand me a can of Mortein to deal with the spider myself (after they'd been unable to reach it and I explained I had a fear of spiders); however, I did not use it as I did not want my child to sleep in pesticide fumes. Instead, we spent this torturous night with the lights on. In spite of all this, I probably would try and stay here again, mind you, armed with a can of bug-spray (to use well before bedtime) and with our own pillows.
• Rachel (9/5): Great location when visiting our daughter at Deakin Uni. -
• Mary (7/5): For the price I paid the room was very clean but small and compact and everything is new. Our room was on the lower grou - Its very cost effective accomodation if passing through and need to sleep somewhere for a night Hard to find first time, it’s a maze inside the grounds especially when dark. After first though it was ok knew where to go

Stairs up to the rooms, especially with heavy bags.

• Marc & Vera (9/5): goed verblijf voor & nacht - zeer goed ontbijt, luxe kamers, goede bedden, lokatie was wat ver van alles af, wat eenzaam gelegen het is een congrescentrum dus een wat onpersoonlijke setting in de omgeving. De meeste faciliteiten waren dicht.

• Olga (7/5): -
• Rogers (10/5): - Very well organised, clean, friendly staff and breakfast was great
• Shelley (9/5): -
• Stuart (8/5): Very comfortable and organised well. - The staff were amazing and could not do more to help us. Late checkout was also a nioce surprise. Breakfast service was slow, we came down at 9:00 and there was not much food left or even fruit juice out. Need to be able to provide a real coffee option instead of machine.
• Morven (8/5): Unusual stay in a university conference centre - Very modern, clean and comfortable place to stay on route to the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne. Very quiet, in fact we seemed to be the only guests staying on the Friday night. Had a pleasant walk around the grounds. Being the only guests there. It was too quiet. That may suit a lot of people but we prefer a bit of a buzz. However, it was great for the night and we had a nice dinner and breakfast in the accommodation.
• Joyce (9/5): -
• Samrat (8/5): Excellent stay - Breakfast , Beautiful campus , Rooms were clean Bit expensive
• Christopher (10/5): Comfortable rooms in lovely grounds that included a full buffet breakfast as part of the room rate - Complimentary breakfast was exceptional Full cooked breakfast available and given the overall room rate, the stay was quite a bargain. Couldn't find fault with anything.
• Peter (8/5): Great location, good walking track with nature surrounds. - Very good breakfast, great selection very fresh & clean. High standard. Pool wasn’t open early or late enough.
• Danielle (8/5): -
• Kate (7/5): - The king bed and big shower The size of the room to small
• Kathy (6/5): - Walking path. And though weather was rainy liked there was a pool and hottub Way too many stairs and ups and downs to get to room. No heat in bathroom. Ac didn’t work well enough to cool room.
• Siobhan (10/5): -
• Robin (8/5): Very pleasant once I found the reception. - I liked the accommodation, gym, and breakfast. Staff were very helpful and the check-in and out process was efficient. Signage was poor. I arrived in the dark and Google Maps location put me in the middle of a very large carpark. Signs on the outside of the building did not indicate that it was part of the estate or contained the reception. Road signs did not include the estate. The only reception sign I saw was only visible once you had parked and walked part-way into the building.
• Daniel Troendle (10/5): - Really lovely place. Nice rooms, clean, quiet and comfortable. Excellent breakfast. Great place to start the tour along the Great Ocean Road. Can fully recommend it. 👍 Would have loved to stay much longer 😉
• Rosa (8/5): Enjoyed our stay with a great breakfast. The only downside was that the mattress was too soft for my liking. - Beautiful building and pretty views of parkland
