A bit of luxury before hitting the road
Pros:

Yes, We were doing the Great Ocean Road thing.
Yes, The kids no longer holiday with us.
Yes, This was a little bit more luxurious than our normal lodgings.
No, We are not retired, but if this is what it's like, Sign me up!

If doing the bucket-list Great Ocean Road, we figured kick it off with an ocean view room with all the bells & whistles.
Stunning facility, well worth the splurge.

Average and below expectations compared with my last visit 2 years ago
Pros:

Nice and clean facility

Cons:

In room dining terrible.
Waiting times very long, staff taking orders or delivery foot and drink were lengthy and the food was really average. The stake- poor meat cut, very chewy and tasteless.

A romantic peaceful getaway, great spot
Pros:

The views are amazing, the rooms are very nice, the food was high quality. The staff were polite and prompt to respond or help. The facilities are 5 star

Cons:

Not staying longer and not getting to go for a hit of golf. There are dress codes and the golf course is extremely busy.

Typical RACV resort with baby boomer golf crowd.
Pros:

Spacious, clean, good service. Breakfast options were good.

Cons:

The resort feels ‘soulless’. It feels a little boring, as if it’s missing character or warmth. The pool is not deep enough, just 1.4m!

Perfectly relaxing stay. Wish we could have had longer.
Pros:

Their buffet breakfast meets everyone’s needs, nothing like it anywnere else. That is why we go there, facilities and staff first class. Torquay is a holiday resort but lovely any time. We would recommend a stay there to all.

Cons:

100% perfect, nothing to complain about.
