The lodge rooms are 2 bedroom with a spacious combined lounge / kitchen / study area, shared bathrooms. Rooms were clean and comfortable and kitchen facilities to enable you to cook and be at 'home' The pool has some shaded area around it, the temperature was comfortable. There is also a bbq area to utilise. The owner, Bill, was engaging, accommodating and flexible with bookings (having regard to COVID lockdowns) Location is a pleasant walk to the river, a short drive to nearby shops.

Clean and fully self-contained with washing machine, dryer and even own washing line right outside the laundry. Modern bathroom and shower. Lots of storage space, extra shelves in the living room and bedroom, and a desk in a corner of the living area, were bonuses. Rather well-stocked kitchen. Supermarket and shops close by, and nice location by the river. My family used the pool and tennis courts with racquets to borrow. Our unit was right in front of the heated pool and spa, and pool towels were conveniently provided in the unit’s bathroom. In spring we did not need to use the heater/ air conditioner but a bonus is that both bedrooms were equipped with air conditioners. Plenty of beds in the kids’ bedroom. We booked the two-bedroom apartment for 4 adults, the kitchen…

Thank you for staying with us and providing a review. We aim to provide everything guests should need to make their stay enjoyable. But we are always willing to listen to suggestions which may help improve our apartments even more. We are so glad you were able to enjoy the apartments and facilities we provide. All the kitchens are well equipped, and while none are small, some are less spacious (as you felt) due to their design. We hope to choose to come and stay with us again in the future.

Had a wonderful time here! Pool and spa was lovely, tennis court was great, wonderful location by the river, close to football grounds and main city centre - particularly for the price!! Nice units up to date with plenty of beds, and wall split air conditioning in each bedroom with has heater in main living, Foxtel and wifi. Not the mention the laundry facilities (washer and dryer) in the unit 🙌. Had a great time. Thanks so much!!

This room was our favourite of our recent holiday in 7 different hotel rooms. The Barwon Valley Lodge was faultless. The accommodation was massive with a heap of room for our family of 5 to spread out in. A big yard for our kids to kick a ball in plus playground and tennis courts. The bedding was clean and crisp and we slept wonderfully well. Even the carpet seemed brand new and nowhere was it evident that anyone had ever stayed in our room prior to us. Our host Bill was the most welcoming host and should be proud of his establishment. Don't change a thing and we will be back again for another stay while watching the AFL at Kardinia Park!

Thank you for your kind review. We are continually trying to improve to make our guest's experience better. You will have enjoyed our new air conditioners in all our bedrooms - something our guests were asking for. We have also completely upgraded and improved our wifi service - still working with NBN to try to improve even more, as we know how important the internet is to today's guests. The feedback from guests has been very positive. Hopefully you were able to enjoy the new Nespresso coffee machines we added to all our apartments. We love to hear from our satisfied guests, so please let us know if there are any suggestions you have that could have made your stay even better. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

We recently spent a night with our three young grand children at Barwon Valley Lodge,. and were so pleasantly surprised to see how immaculate this property was. Maybe an older property, but the owners/managers have done a wonderful job in refurbishing the units to the highest standard. The grounds were beautifully presented along with the kids equipment. We all had a great experience and intend to visit again very soon Credit to the couple managing the property.

Thank you for your wonderful review. Yes, we continue to refurbish to ensure we offer the best accommodation in Geelong. This week we have added air-conditioning / heating to all the bedrooms (to complement the existing heating cooling in the main lounge area) in all of our apartments. Next week we will install an updated state of the art wifi system to all apartments - to improve our wifi offering. We are also in the process of including Nespresso coffee machines in all apartments. We hope you can return soon to experience our improvements. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.
