The Waterfront Apartments

“Booked through Stayz and had a brilliant time”

It appears from reading reviews that these apartments are owned and booked by different people. We booked via Stayz and hosted by Bridget. We had a 2 bedroom apartment on the 7th floor overlooking the bay (though behind a low set building in front). It was brilliant. Clean, large and lovely. Looked… more

It appears from reading reviews that these apartments are owned and booked by different people. We booked via Stayz and hosted by Bridget. We had a 2 bedroom apartment on the 7th floor overlooking the bay (though behind a low set building in front). It was brilliant. Clean, large and lovely. Looked newly refurbished ? . We received check in instructions from another lady which were clear and easy. Yes the car park is small but we had a midsize car so no problem. The location can’t be beat…. 50 m to the waterfront and 50m to Westfield including the chemist and supermarket. The only thing I would change is that there was no milk provided which is a standard for any accomodation I have stayed in. We arrived at midnight after flying from interstate and desperately needed a cup of tea (which was provided… but no milk). It is also not cheap but you get what you pay for.

“Never again”

These apartments are in a great beachfront location. However, there is no reception. They email instructions to you which (allegedly) allow you to access the carpark & your apartment.

These apartments are in a great beachfront location. However, there is no reception. They email instructions to you which (allegedly) allow you to access the carpark & your apartment. We didn't get the email. Upon arrival we got a message telling us how to access our apartment letterbox & get the keys. The letterbox was down low so it was "on the knees'' to access the keys. Problem?? we were given the wrong code???? A very nice chap arrived, accessed our keys for us (using the correct numbers) & was most helpful in taking us thru the carpark {very tight) & into our apartment. Very nice apartment, well equipped & furnished. Great bed. However, no toilet roll holder in the bathroom, it was on the floor or the cistern. The washbasin had a water leak & this wet the floor. The shower was over the spa bath & had an (insurmountable) metre high wall to hurdle to gain access & as we're both in our 70's, we could not shower. The coffee table in the lounge area looked like it was found outside an opportunity shop, old, chipped, ugly & totally not in keeping with the apartment. Bedroom curtain was broken. For the price we paid ($280) for 1 night, I expect a much better standard, I am sure there are far better options in Geelong, we won't be back! We feel ripped off!

“Location excellent”

This hotel is in an excellent location. The carpark is designed only for pedestrians - tight, poor visibility and low - we didn't attempt to use it after we had a look at it.

This hotel is in an excellent location. The carpark is designed only for pedestrians - tight, poor visibility and low - we didn't attempt to use it after we had a look at it. The room itself was well-equipped and bed was comfortable; overall it was quite clean but it stunk - probably carpet problem but it was extremely unpleasant and dirty-smelling - it ruined our stay. on top of all that I found the owners extremely rude and unhelpful. I wouldn't recommend this place - there are others to choose from. We won't stay there again.
