Great weekend away

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 29 Aug 2017
Headed to Geelong for a weekend dance comp two nights in the 2 BR Family Apartment, designed for 6 Persons. Very surprised. Obviously the rooms have had an upgrade, but it felt very warm and comfortable. Extremely clean, very very clean, which is an outstanding compliment to the cleaning staff there. Easy booking online, absolutely no drama. The manager was more than happy to put the hot tub on for the kids to go in after a swim (it was about 10 degrees). Although i wouldn't holiday in Geelong (no offense to the Geelong residents but i live in Melbourne lol), I would highly recommend Barwon Valley Lodge to out of towners who want to spend a week or more and have all the comforts of home. Quiet, comfortable, pool hot tub, tennis and more to do. More affordable than other establishments in Geelong. If i ever happen to have to stay in Geelong again you will be my first port of call. 5 stars great job to the owner, manager and team down at Barwon Valley Lodge.
Date of stay: August 2017
Room Tip: None The rooms have had a modern upgrade and meet all expectations.

Great place handy to footy & city. Hosts are Gold!! Couldn't be more helpful if they tried, next time in the region will be staying here for sure. Quiet, peaceful, right over the road from parks & running tracks.

Great apartment for a family. Well appointed. I could happily live there. The pre-heated room was very welcoming on a cold afternoon! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Spacious room inside & outside facilities also abundant.

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!

I stayed in a two bedroom apartment with two other adults and two children for a night and not only was there plenty of room, I can't think of one thing that it lacked. Very quiet spot, well away from the road, parking in front of your apartment, lots of land around the apartments so they are not on top of eachother and no noise from other neighbours. The rooms have everything you need and are freshly furnished so they feel newer than they obviously are. Tennis court, pool, playground for the kids, opposite a park with running track and the river. Friendly staff and not far from town. Would definitely stay again.

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!
