Wonderful stay

Reviewed By Travellingduo3959

Stayed 2 nights over mother day weekend and pleasantly surprised, we had two rooms. Friendly greeting on arrival and room was very clean, spacious, modern and well set out. Shower was fantastic, bed ok, room has kitchenette and a very comfy couch. Didn’t use pool or spa but would be a nice area in summer with a BBQ area. Will definitely stay here again.

Okay not awesome

Reviewed By bobbymD6880SL

Booked an afternoon tasting. Location was pretty cool. Issue was that we had to pay a $10 tasting fee, which is fine but usually that is waved when you purchase wine. I mean that’s how it’s been every other tasting I have been too. So yes, slightly thrown off. And between the five of us we walked away with eight bottles. And staff were a bit unfriendly which I guess is usually another staple of the winery experience. So again, not great but okay.

Absolutely filthy

Reviewed By Peter L

This is by far the worst motel we have ever booked in40 years of travelling and please take me seriously. The air con unit was choked with dust, the carpet stinks, everything had dust on TV, pictures, beds etc etc Unable to get refund because we had already paid, if you don’t believe me look at rooms first before you pay up. Disgraceful I should have taken photos but just walked out and did our money. There was another lady at counter complaining about the filth when we took key back.

Bad experience, wish I could give a minus star.

Reviewed By sarahfP4715TR

I wish I could give a minus star! My family and I were staying there for the Easter weekend (paid almost double the normal price). We had a bad experince with the staff, specifically the receptionist and manager, and to make it worse in the suite we found some LEFTOVER CHIPS in the microwave and dirty plates in the broken dishwasher, it's disgusting, and surely a health issue during this pandemic. The receptionist was not helpful and quite rude during check in, I had a booking problem which I believe she could just help to solve kindly without the need to be rude. The manager called me the next day after we left the hotel and after I emailed them all the problems, I actually asked to see her when I was there which didn't happen. On the phone, I thought the issue could be dealt fairly and kindly, but to my shock, the manager kept insulting me, didn't give me much chance to talk about the problem with her unhelpful staff and the leftover food, even hung up the phone while I was still trying to talk. Wont be back to this hotel ever.

Reviewed By 894merrilyng

The room was large, quiet and clean. The breakfast was to die for and the staff were professional, friendly and very helpful. Just a short walk to the Main Street and restaurants. The 360Q restaurant was excellent and we cannot recommend these 2 places enough in the lovely beachside town of Queenscliff.

Disappointing

Reviewed By Fred N

I found the host to be very pleasant. This place has good reviews but we don’t agree with them. We found the place to be second rate at best and will not return nor would we recommend them. Place needs a good clean including under furniture, I could write in the dust on the top of the bed head. Sofa was very uncomfortable, hard & old Blankets looked like they were from a double bed yet the bed was a queen. Coffee table needs replacing or at minimum fixing. Only 1 small teacup & 1 mug, lucky we bought our own. Would I recommend this place? NO.
