Detailed Reviews
A last minute booking due to an early start in Geelong. We stayed in a lovely spacious renovated 2 bedroom unit – it was very quiet too. We were given a later checkout, which was wonderful. I am very fussy about cleanliness, and the rooms were spotless!

Quick trip with wife, 1 year old, four year old and 14 year old. Proprietors couldn't do enough. Cot in room, delivered a high chair and even fired up the gas heater for us. Immaculate two bedroom unit, warm and homely. Walked home from Simonds stadium after the footy. Top spot!

Had a great time with the family here, owners really helpful. Kids loved the playground, lake and spa/pool. Had the amenities that a family of 5 needed, would stay again if in Geelong. Opposite the river and close to good walking tracks and playgrounds.

If have chance, will stay there again.

Grounds looked good, but we did not need them. The unit smelled as if animals had been in it and caused itching. Main bedroom was very small with dirty cupboards. Beds and bedding tired and old fashioned. Had to wash some kitchen equipment before use as it was dirty. Outdoor courtyard was too dirty to use.

Response from barwonvalley, Manager at Barwon Valley Lodge
Responded 24 Nov 2016
Hi Bernadette I wish to apologise for your experience at our lodge. It is very concerning to myself to the issues that you have raised in your review. You rated us poorly on service. You requested an early check-in, and we re-arranged our cleaning schedule to ensure this was possible for you - free of charge. I am available 24/7. I live on the premises, and you were here for two days and nothing was brought to my attention. I quite often find myself attending apartments for different reasons, whether it be to show people how to navigate their T.V., help operate air conditioners, gas heaters, and gas stoves, or maybe just to change a light globe. You mention the smell of pets. I have been at the lodge for 13 years and we have always enforced a no pet policy. In other words there has been no pets. And there never will be. The carpets, curtains and furnishings are new, so we are puzzled about the smell and itchiness. You mention the bedding as tired and old fashioned. All of our beds are of commercial quality with pillow tops, and all the bedding has been replaced within the last 24 months. You mentioned the outdoor courtyard was too dirty to use. The courtyards are cleaned each and every time the guests depart, and because there is no roof over the courtyard the wind mixed with rain can have adverse effect. Geelong had had terrible storms over that period. We are sorry if your courtyard was affected. There is no excuse for any cleanliness issues, which we hope was not a result of expediting an early check in. Either way it is not acceptable, and not up to our usual standard of cleanliness. The cleaning-staff has been cautioned, and to be more vigilant. The main bedroom in the apartment you requested has ample room for a queen size bed with two side tables. The larger bedroom in that apartment has been used to cater for 3 single beds. Other apartments have king size beds in the larger bedroom. It depends on the bedding configuration that suits the guest’s needs best. Thank you for staying at Barwon Valley Lodge, we hope you will return in the future to enjoy a better experience. Bill

Great family accommodation close to amenities and not far from the city, the units have plenty of room and were quiet and comfortable. Great park for the kids, pool looked fantastic pity the weather was cool, staff were friendly and were happy to cater to any requests we had.

Great family retreat. Plenty of space in the unit and the grounds to enjoy the facilities - playground, tennis court and lake frequented by water birds. I have stayed with my children twice this year. I would choose Barwon Valley Lodge every-time, as I found it a quiet and relaxing environment to stay.
The dishwasher, washing machine and dryer being very convenient. The decor is fresh, nice plush carpet. Everything appears new. Loads of extra glasses, crockery, utensils in kitchen. Well thought out with many extras available. This accommodation venue goes well beyond the usual.

The Barwon Valley lodge is a great motor inn close to the Barwon River in Geelong, the rooms have been newly renovated with great amenities in each room. Tennis Court and Pool/Spa are great, BBQ area is also well appointed. I stayed with a group and we were well looked after. Its in a great location, easy to get to Geelong or nearby cafes in Highton or Belmont or to get to the Great Ocean rd. Great value for money.

We chose a 2 bedroom apartment to share with elderly parents whilst visiting family in Geelong. The riverside location is a huge plus and the apartment was comfortable, clean and well-appointed for 4 adults with 2 others visiting occasionally.
