fantastic holiday location

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Jan 2018
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.
Date of stay: December 2017
Room Tip: All three units used by family members were perfect

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.

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.

Room tip: None The rooms have had a modern upgrade and meet all expectations.
