I enjoyed my stay and would return
Pros:

The location, meal, staff comfort and accessibility to all good things that Barwon Heads have to offer

Cons:

Music down below, but I was given multiple emails that this would happen, being a Live venue.

Lovely location.
Pros:

Beautiful location and views. I appreciate the room didn't smell bad. Room was huge with balcony. Shower water pressure and temperature was excellent.

Cons:

Paper thin walls, everything SO LOUD. Slamming doors and noisy neighbours. Asked for a kettle but it didn't work. Small plug in heater, no air-conditioning. Booked and paid months in advance for room with kitchenette. Owner rang and asked me to swap for lesser room, I never received any compensation as promised.
