The staff were friendly and the room appeared ok but dated; however, the bed was very hard and uncomfortable and there was a an underlying oder of stale urine that became more noticable during the night. An uncomfortable stay.

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.

Tranquil, away from main road, able to hear birds chipping in the evening and morning. Rooms are clean, all basics are in the room. Solar heated pool. No WiFi, big advantage to get out of work. Easily accessible from freeway. Opposite the Nicol’s Winery and restaurant. Recommended!

Very quite location. Very relaxing. Would recommend.

Motel of last resort, when nothing else is available. The only thing going for it is its proximity to Waurne Ponds shopping centre.

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.

Quiet location but conveniently close to Geelong
I have stayed in alot of motels, and this would rate with the best accommodation experiences I have had. The rooms are a little dated, but very clean and comfortable, with every amenity you could need. It's nice to see a mini bar with very reasonable prices. The owners couldn't have been more helpful, and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable.

Nestled in the countryside but 2 minutes to so much to do. Lovely owners, absolutely clean comfortable and everything you need in accommodation. Great price and will and would recommend to all. We will be staying there every time we are in Geelong. Beds are so so soft to sleep in, warm and relaxing. Cannot recommend this Motel enough. 5 star accommodation.

One night stay, room had everything you would need, plus a bit more. On check in the lady was friendly and helpful. It was a hot day and the pool was a welcome respite. Close to shops and only 15 minute drive to Torquay Sky diving. Sure the room décor was a little dated but it was clean and décor made no difference to our stay!
