Guest Reviews

• Julie (8/5): Great place to stay if you have an event in the surrounding area. - Beautiful country property. Lovely accomodation, has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owners were very helpful.
• Ketaki (10/5): - We loved the location, vibe and the cozy place which Joan & Trevor have created. It was perfect with all the amenities, a pool table, garden and their cute pets Tommy & Timmy. The kitchen & dining area looks over their beautiful garden and was our favourite place to have family time. Joan was so warm and welcoming - our 4 yr loved being around her and exploring the gardens, swings & slide. Would love to visit again soon 😊
• Thomas (10/5): Clean, comfortable and private studio in a peaceful location, with easy access to Geelong. - Great stay in the studio at La Bella Vita. Clean, comfortable, and well equipped with everything needed for a few days away. Quiet semi rural location with nice gardens and space to unwind whilst still being close to Geelong and amenities. Easy check-in and good communication. Would stay again.
• Robin and Frank (9/5): A very enjoyable night's stay and hopefully we will visit again - Basic breakfast but enjoyable There was nothing we didn't like as the location was good and the gardens were lovely to walk around
• Carol (9/5): - The hosts were amazing, the part of the house that we rented was very clean and comfortable. We were very grateful for the coffee and breakfast in the morning.
• Haydn (8/5): -
• Danielle (10/5): Comfortable and quiet - It was quiet, clean comfortable and Joan was friendly Everything was great
• Mauro (8/5): Good place before or after the ferry trip - Large rooms and extra large bed (to note that the mattress is very hard), clean and fresh bedlinen and towels. We stayed two times one night, before leaving a after arriving with the ferry, and the place was suitable for us. Joan is very friendly and provided special breakfast items to suit our wishes.
• Andrew (9/5): Lovely stay, Conviennient to Geelong and surrounding areas. - Well appointed. Maybe a few extra coffee and sugars
• Jack (10/5): Definitely be back - What a wonderful place to stay. Very comfortable, roomy and peaceful. The hosts were extremely accommodating and helpful, above and beyond I would say. Breakfast was lovely and I honestly don’t think the pictures do it justice, so much better. Totally recommend Nothing, we lived it
• Alan (10/5): - Everything Nothing
• Lisa (10/5): - The accommodation was a lot nicer than the photos show. It was clean and really comfortable. The location was perfect for us because we like to be out of the busy towns. Nothing
• James (8/5): It was very pleasant and quiet with the option for kids to play pool, watch tv and make use of the gardens. - Lovely property with plenty of room and gardens. We had breakfast included but the only option was yoghurt, toast, carton orange juice and little fruit pots. For breakfast included I would have expected fresh fruit to eat and the option of having cereal. The only bread available was whole meal and no white and also there was no choice of having a cooked breakfast.
• Hannah (9/5): -
• Rowan (10/5): Nice, chill evening with my groomsmen - Me and my Groomsmen stayed here the night before the wedding and had a blast. The venue was nice and cosy, the hosts were very courteous and made sure everything was up to standard. They were very welcoming with the few suppliers we had arrive to take photos etc. Nothing! No complaints from us
• Josh (10/5): Great for a wedding stay if the wedding is at Rocklea Farm - Good rooms, private relax area Nothing comes to mind
• Peter (10/5): -
• Magdaline (8/5): -
• Hsiang Peng (10/5): Highly recommended. - Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this place. Joan & Trevor were the best hosts we have ever had. So friendly and tried to accommodate us for unexpected & extended extra night of stay. Also snooker table is definitely a plus! Nothing
• Victoria (8/5): We found this accommodation very practical and comfortable for the short stay we needed on a very very hot day before a - The unit was well appointed for a short stay and had everything we needed to prepare to attend a wedding- ironing board, good lighting, scissors- the usual last minute things!
• Karl-Heinz (6/5): Für den Preis hatten wir mehr erwartet. - Parkplatz vor dem Haus bzw. auf dem Grundstück, das weitläufig und schön ist. Ausreichend Platz weil Appartement-Charakter. Soweit alles vorhanden. Preis-Leistung nicht passend. Einiges nicht wirklich sauber. Bad, Küchenutensilien etc. Bei Bettwäsche waren wir uns tatsächlich unsicher, ob diese frisch ist. Mehrfacher Hinweis der Besitzerin, doch bitte eine gute Bewertung abzugeben. Das war nervig. Eine Bewertung mit 9,0 verstehen wir nicht, da das aus unserer Sicht nicht gerechtfertigt ist.
• Leanne (8/5): Plenty of room. - Lovely spacious apartment with gym equipment,a pool table, and BBQ facilities. It's clean and well stocked with the basic necessities. There's a nice big garden for kids to run around in, and the Japanese garden will be fantastic once it's finished. Would be great for a family staying for a week or so. Firstly, even though there's a bath shown in the photos we were told that we're not to use it. The shower was nice and hot with good pressure, but it's a little low for anyone tall. Second, when the host was showing us around she stated that if it got too hot in the room she would switch on the air conditioning. Personally I'd prefer to have the freedom to choose the temperature for myself. We went out for dinner. When we returned the room was stuffy. We didn't want to disturb our host, and couldn't get the ceiling fan to do more than light up, so we opened a few windows. Unfortunately there were no fly screens, which resulted in mosquitoes getting in. Thirdly, the bed is REALLY firm. I didn't mind, but my husband hated it. The hard bed combined with the mosquitoes meant we didn't really sleep all that well. I know the host says the beds are top of the range, but maybe extra firm isn't the best choice when you're trying to cater for a wide range of guests. And finally, the door with a vent in it separating the apartment from the host's living area. It doesn't convey a sense of privacy. We could hear our hosts arguing even with the television on. Not exactly what we were planning for a relaxing weekend away.
• Barry (8/5): Excellent- a very enjoyable stay, helped by a caring host - Location excellent- .5 km from main highway in a beautiful tranquil, country location with peaceful garden outlook away from main house. Host is currently constructing a Japanese garden . Breakfast fine- Orange juice,Muffin and jam and Yoghurt- tea and coffee- all you need. Joan met us on arrival and helped with needs, including directions to Aldi about 7 minutes away. Nothing- all good. A great alternative to a motel- space and peace.
• shane (10/5): Top place to stay! - Very friendly hosts. A beautiful location. Everything you could need plus a beautiful garden to look out onto. That we didn’t book it for longer!
• Grant (9/5): Great little getaway! - Fantastic self contained apartment with all the facilities we needed. Tranquil location with beautiful gardens. Joan was very friendly & attentive making sure my wife was catered for a gf breakfast. Lovely start to our great ocean road trip Nothing
• John (9/5): Great place. Loved the stay. - The apartment was large and very well maintained. Very nice gardens, friendly host. Very comfortable bed. You need to drive to shops etc.
• James (10/5): -
• fiona (9/5): -
• Sean (10/5): Very relaxing stay - GREAT VALUE 😊 - Loads of space - use of theatre room, big dining room with pool table 😲, big bedroom, very big bathroom, gardens were very big! Bed was quite comfortable, pillows were soft 😴 Gardens were beautiful Breakfast provided - granola & yoghurt, milk, bread for toast, tea & coffee, diced peaches in small tubs, OJ fruit box. Communication from host was excellent! 👌 Hot shower with good pressure Very small gripe was the back gardens were close to the highway, so was a bit noisy when in the garden - but very minor gripe
• Paul (10/5): Like staying here when visiting this region as its alway excellent. - Stayed there three years again and still the great place to stay and close to shops and clubs for meals and entertainment. Friendly owners and dog and cat.
• Aroshi (10/5): Beautiful place , lovely host and close to all attractions. - Lovely relaxing place Everything was good
• Julia (8/5): - Joan set up the apartment for us as we were travelling with our 3 month old. Very comfortable and well thought out.
• Bjorn (10/5): - Stunning gardens and perfect rest stop. Lovely having a baby bath and cot provided too.
• Michael (7/5): Beautiful host and very nice venue. - The billiard table want accessible and there was no hot breakfast as advertised. Wouldn’t have minded about either had we been told prior to our arrival. More atmosphere. We were the only ones there besides our host.
• Juelius (9/5): -
• Cheryl (7/5): Value for money. Had everything we needed except a comfy bed - Gardens Hard mattress
• Subhash (9/5): -
• Genevieve (10/5): - Extremely spacious and well appointed apartment in a large park like garden. Effective heating, plenty of continental breakfast provided. Joan was a lovely host. Nothing
• Sam (6/5): Pleasant -
• Lisa (8/5): Very good -
• Gios (9/5): Lovely stay! - The host, was amazing! Very helpful. The host are very passionate about their property. Loved the location. The room was very comfortable. Nothing. Just a suggestion to include Shampoo.
• Ming (10/5): Exceptional - Top quality beddings were very impressive to me and we all had a very good sleep. Huge space indoor and outdoor
• Kirsten (7/5): The host was very obliging however we got the hurry up to leave shortly after checkout as the owners had to leave. - the room we stayed in is part of the owner’s house so feel that should have been specified in the ad. Would prefer to stay somewhere more private than in someone’s home. The breakfast was disappointing. I feel there were too many rules when it was supposed to be a weekend away.
• James (8/5): Very good -
• John (8/5): Very good -
• Ashley (10/5): Great location and accommodation. - Very peaceful ✌️. Hosts were exceptional. Great overnight 👌 stay. Accommodation is clean and welcoming.
• Laura (10/5): A home away from home, with the most helpful owner. - we were incredibly welcomed and looked after. owner went above and beyond to help us out with our toddler, brought us a highchair, baby bath, clothes rack, port-a-cot, toys, and a push on car.
• Renee (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ricky (10/5): Will stay again - Very warm and welcoming. Nothing
• Zhe (10/5): Highly recommended to all - A short drive from Geelong Spirit of Tasmania ferry, ideal for overnight rest after a whole day of ferry trip. The host was super nice. The garden is huge and welcoming for us to have a walk. Continental breakfast was a perfect add-on Nothing
• The (10/5): Nice stopover - We had the best sleep of our entire 2 week trip. Very comfortable beds Huge rooms Spacious lounge Very clean facilities Nice continental breakfast Nothing
• Jessica (9/5): Amazing property in very relaxing area. - Joan was very welcoming and made sure we had everything. She is very accommodating with check-in/check-out. The villa is very spacious with stunning outdoor area. Very relaxing place. The beds are very comfortable. I definitly recommend it. The kitchen isn't fully equipped for cooking (no stove, only microwave convection oven) but I should have read the description better. We couldn't use the bath in the bathroom.
• Xiaonan (10/5): Fantastic estate - Spacious rooms, lots of entertainment including a pool table. Very friendly host that's very accommodating to our schedules. Comfortable beds and nice, quiet location. We had a blast! Nothing at all
• Fanghui (10/5): Exceptional - The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, providing us with detailed information about the accommodation and surrounding area. The environment was very peaceful, allowing us to rest exceptionally well. This is a great choice for group stays.
• Mary (9/5): getaway - quietness and relaxation a bit far from ever
• Rise (10/5): Exceptional - Great value, super clean, host Joan is amazing, excellent communication and very accommodating. Peaceful calm quiet - just lovely! Nothing not to like
• Roslynne (5/5): Passable -
• Ruth (9/5): Host was super accommodating and the B&B was a very large area - Three generations of family stayed together for a wedding close by. Great to be able to be together All great ! Beautiful gardens, multiple areas to relax and super comfortable beds.
• David (8/5): Very good -
• Luciano (7/5): Not exactly what we were expecting but it's still an amazing place to stay. - Cinema room, good size rooms and comfortable beds and good kitchen. Outdoor renovations, animals fur indoors and limited breakfast.
• Julie (10/5): Had a very good time there. Highly recommended. If I had the chance, I will definitely come back. - The hostess is very friendly and hospitable.
• Linda (9/5): A very relaxing stay in spacious, comfortable accommodation. - La Bella Vita was a beautiful family home. We stayed in a large, private area that included two comfortable bedrooms, a huge bathroom and two massive living areas. We were supplied with the facilities and food to create snacks and breakfast as well as tea and coffee. Our baby was well catered for with a cot, high chair and baby bath. The host was friendly and informative and carefully showed us around and explained how to manage heating, cooking, TVs etc. The house was situated in a quiet area and had beautiful gardens. It was a great location for us as we were there to attend a wedding at Rocklea Farm, which is only a few minutes drive from there.
• Tina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Huda (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and comfortable. Great location. Joan was wonderful
• Dawn (7/5): Good -
• Elluksooriya (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sally (10/5): My host was amazing, - Very easy to find. Extremely comfortable, warm and goat provided breakfast.
• Lexoren (10/5): Definitely our first choice whenever in the area. - Very adequate breakfast. All packaged portions, with all day coffee and tea. Amazing entertainment area and beautiful outside scenery. Sadly being a country property the bath which looked amazing couldn't be used, but the shower more than made up for it. Easily fitting multiple people in it.
• Grace (8/5): Overall a nice and comfortable stay. - Having the host welcoming us personally even though we were 4 hours later than expected. Having the garden and the whole communal space to our family in the night and morning was such a privilege. Lots of greenery and space to walk around in the morning. Many twinkling stars in the dark night sky. Host extended our check out time without us requesting. Breakfast was only toast, muesli and coffee. Nothing fantastic. Strong sunlight in the communal area (no shades) makes it difficult for those who are afraid of sun to enjoy the breakfast in the morning.
• Melanie (10/5): A perfect studio apartment for a night away - Great facilities and perfect night away. Great selection for breakfast!
• Felicity (10/5): Fantastic and would stay here again. The service was amazing. - My husband and I were here with our 4 month old baby as we had a wedding in the area. Joan was fantastic and exceeded our expectations right from the start. Always going above and beyond, she even offered us a late checkout to cater for the needs of our little one. We would definitely stay here again.
• Ashlea (10/5): Exceptional -
• Damian (3/5): Poor - exactly at 10 am landlady came and dropped cleaning products in front of the door insisting that we leave within 5 minutes. We were almost ready to leave but to be on the safe side we requested 15 minutes more and she said we'd be charged $15 for 15 minutes (which she has done). More than just 15 dollars, it ruins your morning when someone stands in front of the door exactly at 10 am with mops and buckets and tells you in the most inhospitable way that either you have to leave within 5 minutes or tell things such as "My cleaner has to be paid more than $15 for extra $15 minutes", which is totally unnecessary.
• Xuefei (10/5): Exceptional - All is very good.
• Peter (8/5): Very good -
• Plc (6/5): Clean room. Minimalist breakfast. - Room was clean We got a couple pieces of bread in the fridge and some processed fruit. I would not call this bed and breakfast. We did not touch it. This washroom was not professionally done, more like a home DIY project.
• Sam (10/5): Exceptional -
• Brad (10/5): Just an overnight stay wish it had been longer - Very beautiful house, accommodating and well presented. Will definitely be back if needing too Nothing
• Edward (8/5): Great thankyou. - Glen the driver was brilliant! Jone was a little overbearing.
• Bronski666 (10/5): Exceptional - The location is quiet, just outside of Geelong.
• Tess (10/5): Loved having a farm stay and cuddles from boarder collie Tommy. - Welcoming and space to relax.
• Patricia (7/5): Good -
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Youngchul (4/5): Disappointing - Very quite due to far from the town Not good bed to sleep and cold breakfast
• Gary (8/5): Great spot to stay whilst in transit to next location! - Location, staff, breakfast, parking, bed, big & open premises! Shower floor was very slippery & there was not enough fall for the water to drain properly. Vanity sink water was very slow to drain!
• Sharon (8/5): Very good - Very private with beautiful surroundings. It is an oasis for relaxation. Continental breakfast did not match the photo on the website.
• Paramour (10/5): Beautiful home and friendly hosts. Very accommodating - Very comfortable and homely. Perfect for our family and very accommodating for our children
• Karen (9/5): Superb - Nice gardens Easy to find
• Donna (10/5): Family wedding - Location to Rocklea Farm for family wedding was just perfect. Plenty of space for whole family to prepare and relax afterwards. Friendly, accommodating owners especially Joan. Delicious cooked breakfast. Lovely grounds and secure parking. Not a complaint against accommodation as it was really lovely..maybe more pillows on main bed for fussy sleepers who like extra head comfort. One bathroom required a bit of negotiation between family members.
• Lu (9/5): Superb -
• Paul (9/5): Superb - great friendly service and breakfast to the room
• Reana (9/5): This property was peaceful and perfect for our one night get away! - It was big, calm, private and enjoyable. There’s nothing much I could say that was bad about the property at all.
• Kate (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tayiba (8/5): Very good -
• Emily (10/5): Wonderful comfortable accommodation and delightful hosts. - We were made to feel like we were at home by our wonderful host Joan, and her sidekick Tom the border collie. A delicious breakfast, comfortable, clean and spacious facilities and peaceful area. A wonderful family friendly property. Highly recommend.
• Xin (10/5): Great House - Great facilities. Can watch Netflix, play Snooker. We saw many Stars at night. There is a very big Garden. I believe the view in Spring will be awesome as flowers blooming. Breakfast is yummy. Love it. Nah
• Megan (10/5): Warm, friendly, convenient. Trevor and Joan were extremely welcoming. The cooked breakfast was delicious and the room wa - The property is located close to wineries and other function venues near Geelong.
