We had a typical room on the second floor. The room is nothing fancy but it is clean just a little bit dated the external building and grounds are nice though.

Check in was easy. We were out most of the day but come midnight the fun started.

Loud drunken clowns outside out room with no regard for other guests and not just one group, it was multiple.

Thankfully my 3 year old slept through it! The hotel is situated maybe 300m from the main nightlife strip and is the perfect spot for loud obnoxious pissheads to stay.

I would not recommend this hotel for families or those who aren't wanting to party all night because you won't get any sleep!

We took a while to find this place because I was looking for 'the lodge' and in fact, the lodge is in the grounds of a pretty ordinary motel, in a pretty ordinary, fairly industrial area, although to be fair, it is centrally located with everything close by. But once inside the doors of Grittleton, we felt like we were a million miles away and we really enjoyed it, sitting in front of the fire, reading papers etc in this charming period home. Rooms were lovely, sitting rooms inviting. Breakfast was rather ordinary and regretably in a drab 'out building' of the motel - it would have been so nice to have had breakfast in the lodge itself. There is an easy warmth about Grittleton and I can see myself using it whenever I am in the area.

Standard room was clean and comfortable with a double and single bed. The bathroom was spacious although did not include a bath. The room included a large screen television with various foxtel channels although reception quality was very mediocre with a grainy picture.

Furnishings were all modern and clean and there was minimal outside noise enabling sound quality sleep.

The hotel booklet provides numerous menus from nearby restaurants for takeaway to be delivered and booked against the room. The only point of corcern was the menu I selected from was out of date with the prices being more than shown and well over priced for what you receive. I would suggest purchasing any takeaway independent of the Motel to avoid any markup.

Not expecting something fancy, we were surprised otherwise with this charming building and facilities. The hosts were nice, helpful and smooth during check in. It is like a lodge style accommodation, nothing very fancy but provide nice clean rooms, bathrooms, and linen/towels etc.

Well located, all the sights are close by and the balcony outside is a added bonus. There is also ample parking within the compound area in the middle, and what i really liked is they provide car washing facilities (which my car badly needed after all the long sandy desert drives)...a hose connected to water, brush, pail, soap, etc etc.

Good food is just a street behind, the lighthouse close by and also the dolphin lagoon.

Although we did not use it, i think there is a small swimming pool too within the lodge. Picturesque building, good value and comfortable stay is what you will certainly get in return for your cash. Recommend it.
