This Lodge is an old 70s motel which has been converted into a cheap lodge. It isn't really a backpackers as such. There are a variety of self contained apartments, providing one or two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and small living room with TV. They are not glamorous, they are in fact quite ugly, but are warm, spacious and functional.... More

We stayed in a self-contained two bedroom property. It was fine: it seemed clean but very dated. The sofas were pretty filthy and we washed the kitchen utensils before using (I'm not sure the previous tenants had cleaned them as well as you'd hope). It was quiet and clean enough, but I don't think it's worth the money.

I was a bit worried after reading the bad reviews given by the others and expect the worse before arriving. but surprisingly, the two bedroom apartment that we stayed is very clean,comfortable and quiet. The receptionist is very friendly. The kitchen is well equipped. A lovely place to stay with reasonable price.

This was the best Accomodation of our whole 5-day trip to Great Ocean Road! (Unlike Angelsea - see my previous review about Angelsea...) We got Room# 1, which is all self-contained. It had a *SPA bath* in the huge toilet, and *FIREWOOD Heater* in the main room (buy your own firewood from the supermarket across the road - $15). All... More

My wife and I would thoroughtly recommend this Hotel/Hostel to anyone. We got the single room with the SPA & Wood-Fire Fireplace (never seen this in any other hotel room, ever!), and it was *VERY GOOD VALUE*! (unlike Anglesea Beachfront Holiday Park - see my earlier review). Right opposite the one-and-only Supermarket in town, and 2 streets away from the... More

Our two bedroom apartment was dirty and dusty. The linen appeared clean but goodness knows what goes on on the couch. It was disgusting. The entire apartment was old, chipped, and poorly maintained. The oven did not work. All the crockery and cutlery was mismatched. We had to ask for teaspoons, wine glasses and a small pot. The staff member... More

Two adults and a child. We stayed in the "bedroom + bunkroom". When we arrived at 6pm it was flat chat in reception. There were backpackers galore and two groups were unhappy with their booking arrangements (or lack thereof) and had to pay more than they wanted to. We were fine. We had booked months ahead and rung on the... More

Grabbed this two bedroom accommodation because of the kitchen facilities and the good price based on what was available in that area. This place whilst not four star was extremely pleasant and comfortable. Had a magnificent big spa which was nice on those cold nights. All in all this was a good place to stay and save some money in... More

The rooms were clean and adequately sized.. The hotel manager was very kind and helped us check out a little bit late as we were travelling with out 6 month old baby. He also gave us tips on sightseeing locations and planning our drive around. The kitchen appliances looked old, but were in perfect working condition and we had no... More
