Wonderful experience

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 1 Jan 2020
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.
