Great value apartment

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 20 June 2022
Barwon Valley Lodge is in a great location in a quiet area but close enough to the main road making it very convenient. The grounds were tidy and well kept making for a nice atmosphere on the property as well.

The apartment was spacious, clean and well equipped with everything you need and our host was friendly, helpful and made our check in and out easy considering we departed early before reception opened in the morning. Highly recommended, we'd stay here again.

We spent two nights at The Barwon Valley Lodge on a family trip. The room was fantastic. Clean, modern, spacious, and well cared for. The grounds are very large and really well mainained. Great for families and well priced. We actually stayed at the same place a few years ago and remember it was very good then. So I would certainly recommend this accommodation and would use again.

We arrived quite late and the hosts were so accommodating and made our late check in a breeze. The room was huge and spotlessly clean, the grounds were immaculate and the pool/spa was brilliant. We've been lucky to enough to secure accommodation here on the 4th of March for the Foo Fighters gig and can't wait to come back, highly recommend this place to stay, it exceeds expectations in every single way!!

The accommodation comprised 2 bedroom units each having well fitted out kitchen plus a lounge room and laundry with washing machine and dryer. Wifi, TV, BBQ A/C and heating. Large grounds with in ground swimming pool, a small lake anda tennis court. Ball and racquets supplied. Across the road - the Barwon River anda large park. Shops nearby. It was a great weekend. Staff friendly and helpful. An easy drive to centre of Geelong and the waterfront. I Cannot recommend this place enough. It was great.

The lodge rooms are 2 bedroom with a spacious combined lounge / kitchen / study area, shared bathrooms.

Rooms were clean and comfortable and kitchen facilities to enable you to cook and be at 'home'

The pool has some shaded area around it, the temperature was comfortable. There is also a bbq area to utilise.

The owner, Bill, was engaging, accommodating and flexible with bookings (having regard to COVID lockdowns)

Location is a pleasant walk to the river, a short drive to nearby shops.
