Very disappointed. Overpriced for what it is, basic motel. Also, they take an additional $200 deposit for extras? There is no bar fridge, so not sure what the extras are? In a noisy part of town. Poor WiFi, small television. Overpriced, never again!

Riverside Ocean Grove

Newly renovated quiet family oriented resort style motel walking distance to Barwon River and a short drive to the beach. Close to Barwon Heads. Features split systems, Foxtel, free WiFi.

Dirty, smelly and filthy pool.

Reviewed By travellersw2014

When we arrived we opened the door of the room and instantly smelt urine. I couldn’t pin point where the smell was coming from but it was in the room somewhere. There were a couple of brown stains on the bed sheets. The silicon sealing was mouldy and falling out of the shower around the base. The pool was absolutely disgusting. It was brown water, slimy mould all through it and even miss growing in it. For $170 a night, it was an absolute rip off.

Quiet and clean motel

Reviewed By Rob T

Had a very pleasant stay at Aristocrat Waurnvale motel. Room although probably a bit dated in some peoples opinion, was in excellent condition and very comfortable for a short stay. Set in a quiet rural setting its hard to believe you are so close to Geelong. Cleanliness of room was above average and price was more than reasonable. Motel is easy enough to find and parking is good. Would certainly stay again.

Gross and dirty

Reviewed By 148yl

I had an unpleasant time staying at the motel. The room I stayed in, the toilet cubicle had cobweb on the ceiling, the bed end sheet (I dont know what you call it) had some sort of blood stain on it, a pubic hair was found on one of the towels, stain marks were on one of the pillows, the mattress bases cover had lot of stains on it, the cup tray had lot of dust and sugar on it, lot of dead flies are inside the pamphlet rack and the gap under the shower door had lot of dirt and hairs came out when I put a little bit of water pressure on it. It was revolting, the worst of all each night was about $137. There were no room service, no one came and tidied the bed each morning and emptied the rubbish bin. On the top of that, the decor is definitely very outdated, it desperately needs a good fresh of paint. Very disappointed experience overall.
