Room is very very clean though old. Bed was perfectly made, linen is super clean& crisp. Room is of good size for 2. Crockery/ cutlery/ microwave/kettle all there if u need. Dish soap/ hand soap/ bath soap/ shampoo all there too. We made use of the room for just a very short time. We spent the night to avoid driving back to Melbourne after the penguin parade. Dedicated parking lot for each room.
