Passing thru on the way to Melbourne.
Clean room, nice beds but layout of the room made it hard to watch TV, only one single lounge chair in a room suitable for up to 4 adults. Dining chairs not appropriate size for dining table could not fit my legs under table when using chair. Apart from these issues location was great, access was suitable with code access doors meaning no keys required. Small outside fenced yard great for catching a break from the room.

The property is well maintained. I stayed only one night, so didn't explore walking access, but felt everything is closeby. Parking spot is provided which is an advantage. I couldn't open the blinds much as pedestrian crossing was just outside my room. All basic amenities and toiletries(no paste/brush) are provided. There is one saucepan and one pan for cooking purpose along with an electric induction cooktop. Tea bags, coffee powder and sugar is in the room. There was wardrobe, reading table, slim dining table, and 2 beds in my room. Overall would recommend.

It was good and comfortable. Bed was too soft. Room really needs block out blinds as it is too light at night due to the street lights. Recommend block out blinds are installed in all rooms.

This would have to be one of the nicest places we have stayed, deceptive from the exterior the rooms are tastefully and elegantly decorated with a predominantly nautical theme. We knew it would be special as when we were unloading our car some other travellers who were checking in were remarking on how lovely the room was. The cabins are fully self contained with full kitchen facilities, the cabins were spotlessly clean and the king size bed was extremely comfortable with excellent linens. The property is a short walk to most of Geelong’s eateries and supermarkets. A dedicated car space was icing on the cake. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous apartment, excellent communication & everything you need. Very close to city centre & hospital, but noise wasn't an issue at all. 4.8/5, lost 0.2 for the bed - nothing wrong with it, comfy enough, but a bit firmer than I prefer. Will def stay again when next in Geelong.

The Anchorage is a truly warm and inviting place to stay one or more nights. Very comfortable with the characteristics more of a stylish, Skandi home than the standard issue motel room. Good in-room facilities, spacious, big comfy bed, lovely bathroom and a decent kitchen area. Not in the centre of town but we accessed everything in town on foot, while we are neither young nor super-fit.
