Stairs no lift, no pamphlets to tell us where things were in Geeelong or for different food entries, no remote for tellie. Luckily we were out most of the stay and came in tired, so no need for tellie only would have been nice to find out tennis scores, which we eventually did after having a bit of patience without using the remote.
This property was in a great location, with close proximity to the beach, but also walking distance to town for dinner.
The room was comfortable for our family, and perfect for our short stay.
We had no hot water and after travelling all day we were really looking forward to a hot shower. Tried to call reception both at night and in the morning but no answer. Friends of ours stayed there too and also had no hot water. Very disappointing
No service on arrival. Property needs a lot of work. Very outdated and looks shabby. On the positive side it was somewhere close to everything to spend one night.

More like a backpackers than a motel. Considering the festive season, it was very loud and woken 2am by other guests and then again at 7:30am by loud guests. Parking was there but tricky when some guests must have multiple cars. The property overall is run down and dirty. We have been staying here on and off over the years and it seems the property never gets cleaned externally. Internally yes the room has been tended to and set but very basic. Not fresh smelling and missing fly wire on one side of the window, which is dangerous with a child on the second floor. We liked the convenience of it being close to everything and the view of the bay but other than that, the property is not appealing at all.
