Great relaxing experience. We celebrated our wedding anniversary. Would have been nice to have something on a Saturday night at the resto bar, otherwise the vibe is very relaxing. Pool was nicely heated. Staff super helpful and friendly. Breakfast of smashed avo eggs and smoked salmon with egg on sourdough bread was scrumptious. We love that it is now pet friendly. Keep it up! Will be coming back.

Rooms were a good size and adequate amenities. Breakfast is not buffet and quite confusing/time consuming lining up and ordering etc., Inconvenient and staff are run off their feet making coffees, taking orders, serving and attending to guest questions etc., Hotel is driving distance to main shops. We stayed there for Otway Classic bike ride and 3 kms from start line convenient, although breakfast only opens at 7.30 so it was rushed. On site restaurant was nice enough, although a very long wait for meals on the Friday night. Nice place overall.

Lovely hotel. Reception needs to be better manned at busy times. Young gentleman on reception was dealing with a group of seven checking in individually, which took a lot of his time and patience which he is to be commended for. He kept control while being asked numerous questions all at once by the group. Help eventually arrived and our check-in was quick.

Stay was excellent. The only challenging thing was the long long queues to order meals. There are only two cash registers and staff taking both the dinner and drink orders. They make the drinks on the spot so each order takes a very long time. You can easily stand for 15 mins waiting to order your meal Best to have a separate register for food or take the food and drinks order and deliver to the table when ready The current system is frustrating
