Pleasant Stay

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 15 Mar 2022
We only had one night at the Golden Palms and we were pleasantly surprized. My partner booked it and when I saw the main road location next to a hotel I was a little worried about the noise level - I'm a very light sleeper. BUT there was no issues at all - unless you think some noisy lorikeets in the morning rate as a problem........
Our room was on the hotel side of the motel - not at the front.
[Plenty of glasses & cups, but no plates/bowls - maybe available on request ??]
Microwave/toaster/electric jug provided - there may have been knives/forks/spoons
Date of stay: March 2022

The most expensive room is what I'd expect from a n caravan park. 2 rooms sharing a main door out and for the most expensive room too?! Other people's hair still in bathroom and dirty water stains on the sink.

This Motel is great value for money. Excellent and very friendly service is offered by the Owner John.
It is an extremely clean Motel nicely appointed in the room. ALL YOU NEED. It's location is great as you have the Grovedale Hotel immediately beside who offers great atmosphere along with excellent meals.
Motel also is a short drive to the Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre that offers everything.

Great location, Close to beaches, shopping and attractions. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff were very nice to deal with. We recommend the Golden Palms highly if you are heading to Geelong.

Room tip: The Villa's are very nice.

Have stayed here before but not too sure I will again. Clean facilities and convenient location. However I was surprised at the lack of cutlery and dishes. There was a kettle, microwave and toaster but no plates, knives, forks, spoons or bowls. Never stayed anywhere that did not have these in the room.

On our last morning of the stay, someone entered our room prior to 9am, when I called out letting them know I was there, instead of backing out the man stuck his head around the door to apologize. Can forgive the error of thinking the room was empty but was very surprised he felt the need to look all the way in.

Clean, well positioned and very quiet place to spend the night. If hungry, you have a pub next door and it is just one minute away.
I will highly recommend this motel for your stop before heading to the Great Ocean Road.
