We spoke to the concierge about a late evening arrival. They assured us that we could access our room by calling a number when we got there. We drove 4hrs to reach our destination with a baby- to find that we could not access our room and there was no one to help us or assist. If it wasn’t for my parents we would have had to sleep in our vehicle. My 60 year old parents were staying there too (luckily) and let us in. They slept on the floor. It was an absolutely horrid situation. We chose to stay there because we wanted to be rested to attend a funeral. This did not happen. Severely disappointed. We expected more that just a refund. This did not occur. Don’t stay here if you can help it. I have stayed in a lot of places, we have never had this happen, ever. Very incompetent in this day and age. Staff also knew nothing about parking around the area. Huge overhaul and upskilling needed. The room was ok. Dusty around the skirting boards. Cleaning crew left red garbage bin in the hallway as we exited our room.

This went very well. The view over the yachts was very good. The staff were helpful & the 'studio' I stayed in had everything you could want (apart from the balcony which was under repair). Close to food & open space. Very likely to stay there again.

Great venue for a wedding and it was lovely staying overnight. The rooms are a bit dated but reasonably priced for the lovely area close to the Yacht Club. The rooms have great views, and the studio room we stayed in was well equipped with kitchenette, fridge, dishes, dining and lounge areas. The beds are really comfortable. The bedroom area can be closed off from the rest of the room, making it dark and quiet. We did not hear the Karaoke going on at the end of the hall !! We look forward to returning soon.

The front door of the property is mere feet from the pier and a beautiful park and located a half block from the cafe district where all kinds of delicious food from around the world was available. This area felt safe and it was just a short walk to the incredible coastline and beaches as well as a beautiful botanical garden. The train station is also only a few blocks away that will take you right into downtown Melbourne. Highly recommend!
