Overpriced and disappointing
The room itself had been mostly renovated and was in good condition and clean. But there were some annoying features - the TV needs replacing as didn't work properly, and the tiny coffee table was very unstable. The room was very small, even smaller than the pictures, and even though it was peak season it was overpriced. We booked late so didn't have a choice. The property itself is old and upstairs from a restaurant, up a tiny flight of stairs, which made getting bags up and down quite difficult And to cap things off the council decided it was a good time to do kerbside collection at 4.15am in the morning (Tuesday) and that ruined what had already been a poor nights sleep. On this Melbourne and great ocean road trip we stayed at 4 different properties and this was by far the most expensive and by far the worst.

Basic hotel to stay for the night along great ocean room. Nothing to shout out on. Prices a little high though. But room was clean, have many food options just stone throw away once coming down from the room. Had to do self check in, email instruction was only sent on the morning of check in, i had no time to check email as it was a long drive. Luckily I bought SIM card with calls to call them. Owner was helpful to provide the check in details over sms on the spot.

Stayed here while on the great ocean road. Clean, comfortable and basic, all we needed for one night. Bathroom great. Bed comfortable. Quiet nights sleep. Good water view. Bang in the middle of town so easy to walk out for food. Car parking easy. Easy check in, key in the lockbox and check out drop the key back. Would stay again
