Would not and did not stay here!!!
I didn’t stay for even 1 night even tho I booked for 3 nights and it was non refundable. It had a weird vibe and the bed looked like it had an old worn out foam mattress. The curtains were stained and falling apart. So many spider webs in the window and the bathroom was falling apart and the shower was so dark with a ratty plastic shower curtain. I walked to Apollo Bay and found a room in town that was more convenient and comfortable. Left my keys in the return box and called it a lesson learned.

Basic room with poor TV reception. Unfortunately, not enough water pressure to get wet in the shower. We didn’t require much but a shower was impossible. Would not stay again.

There was spider webs seen everywhere and a spider in right top of the bed. Leaking gutters not fixed. It’s pretty average place for that price.

Three of us stayed for two nights in room 5. Clean room, comfortable beds, carpet not worn. Room size good. Has small sitting area if you want to eat; we sat comfortably. Large windows (can open) for good light. Combined bathroom/toilet room decent size, not too small. Clean, appears relatively up to date. A few minor things but nothing serious: 1. Shower looks little dated/tired (tiles/taps). Small vanity unit; benchtop is too small, just a little larger than the basin. Adding shelves in bathroom would be great to increase storage. Adding additional towel rack for 3rd person would be good, too. 2. Power points required at two bedside tables. Only one bedside table had a dbl power point. Minor annoyance when trying to charge multiple devices between three people. There is a dbl power point where the kettle is; was used but generally people like to charge at bedside while sitting up in bed at night. 3. Taps on vanity unit leaking a little and slightly difficult to turn; they require pulling apart and regreasing (I mentioned this to the owners and they'll fix it) 4. Shower taps have a rattle/knock when running water; easily resolved by turning tap either way. Taps need refurbishment as per vanity unit (I mentioned this to the owners and they'll fix it). 5. Water leak; carpet was getting wet directly opposite the shower wall. The single bed is placed in this area. (I mentioned this to the owners). Minor issues. Will stay again. View of beach as well. Owners friendly.

This place is disgusting. Mould everywhere. Mosquitoes been squashed and left dead all over the walls. Not even habitable. Not sure how they continue to operate. Do NOT book to stay here. It is terrible.
