We spent two night at Barwon Valley Lodge. All one could ask for: a full kitchen, laundry with washing machine and dryer, spacious bathroom and separate toilet. A shopping centre close by. Across the road, a park with a picturesque walk beside the river. We stayed mid-winter, but were quite warm and comfortable.

We absolutely love this resort !!! Great location with the Barwon river and beautiful parkland and playgrounds across the road; you feel like you are miles from the city, yet it’s only a few minutes to the centre of Geelong, a train station and the Geelong football ground. Hosts (Bill and Jan) are really lovely...friendly & welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Our family have had many weekend escapes here as it’s so easy and amazing value for money, and not far from Melbourne. Units are clean, spacious, super comfy and quiet and have everything you could possibly need. And we get to relax and enjoy the pool, hot spa, tennis court, playground, ducks and Wi-Fi with the children. If you are looking for a mid-week or week-end escape, this place is perfect for families…

Thank you for your review. I will pass on your compliments to our cleaning staff - we do our best to make sure the apartments are clean and comfortable. I am glad you liked our pillowtop beds. They are made locally in Geelong, and we do get many great reports about their comfort. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate any feedback. Thank you for your suggestion about the coffee cups. We do provide mugs, but we have been discussing glass and cup sizes recently. We have also discussed coffee machines for each apartment, which we are currently evaluating. All this should be in place by the time you visit us next. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

We had a relaxing stay here and enjoyed the peaceful surrounds including the duck pond in front of our unit. We felt right at home with the well equipped unit and cooked most of our meals in the kitchen. The owners were friendly and helpful. The location is very handy, you can walk across the road and have a walk along the Barwon River and, it was only a few minutes drive to nearby shopping areas and only 10 mins from Geelong's Waterfront. There's a good sized bbq area and tennis courts. The internet was adequate for emails and web browsing. While the buildings may look a bit older, inside it is more modern and that's more important to us. I liked this place so much I thought they should clone it to other places I like to visit ;) I'd be more than happy to stay here again…

Thank you for your kind review. We are glad you enjoyed your visit with us. We have thought about "cloning" Barwon valley Lodge in other places. However, as we are a local family owned business that built Barwon Valley Lodge originally, we know Geelong and do our best to serve the needs of those visiting Geelong. We hope we see you again soon.

Amazing accommodation, clean spacious units, quiet, home away from home. Had a holiday with two families of grandchildren. Great hosts, nothing was too much trouble for them in a busy season. Great facilities, with swimming and spa pool, playground, tennis courts, river walks etc. Close to Coles supermarket, and enjoyed family menus at the RSL club, les than 5 minutes by car. Cannot recommend this lodge highly enough.

I stayed here with 2 children (aged 13 and 9) for 10 days. The apartment was clean and had plenty of space. Everything for a comfortable extended stay was provided - lots of pillows, blankets, towels. Good equipment - dishwasher, washing machine and dryer, heating and aircon, kitchen appliances. There was plenty of parking space; also a pleasant pool, small lake for canoeing, and tennis courts - perfect for entertaining the kids. Finally, the location was good - quiet, near the river, just within view of Kardinia Park, and with plenty of shops just up (or down) the road. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Met our requirements for an overnight stay while in Geelong for a Shakespearean play. Comfortable, spacious and good parking right outside the door. Full kitchen although we didn't use it except for breakfast. Reasonably priced. Quiet neighbourhood. Would happily stay again.

Stayed at barwon valley lodge for 3 nights and was very pleased with the accommodation. We stayed in a two bedroom unit with everything we needed, very clean and comfortable. Great heating which warmed the unit in just a few minutes. Just a couple of minutes out of the main city so quiet and peaceful.

Spent the night here with a family of six. The apartment was spacious and comfortable. Clean and has everything you need. We had a game of tennis and my toddler loved the play area. The service and friendless is awesome. It's close to many places to eat. I would definitely stay here again and especially in warmer weather.
