Great relaxing experience. We celebrated our wedding anniversary. Would have been nice to have something on a Saturday night at the resto bar, otherwise the vibe is very relaxing. Pool was nicely heated. Staff super helpful and friendly. Breakfast of smashed avo eggs and smoked salmon with egg on sourdough bread was scrumptious. We love that it is now pet friendly. Keep it up! Will be coming back.

Rooms were a good size and adequate amenities. Breakfast is not buffet and quite confusing/time consuming lining up and ordering etc., Inconvenient and staff are run off their feet making coffees, taking orders, serving and attending to guest questions etc., Hotel is driving distance to main shops. We stayed there for Otway Classic bike ride and 3 kms from start line convenient, although breakfast only opens at 7.30 so it was rushed. On site restaurant was nice enough, although a very long wait for meals on the Friday night. Nice place overall.
