Eastern Australia Adventure Holidays

We stayed for two nights in August, we were there for a Great Barrier Reef tour, so didn’t spend much time in the hotel itself or using the amenities. We got an uber from the airport, there were taxis and Ubers available quite readily. Staff were beyond helpful and friendly on arrival, a real credit to the hotel. We arrive at around 10am and the room was ready and they gave us the key, they said they upgraded us, but I couldn’t tell what the difference was? The room size maybe? We were ground floor by the pool, and people could see in the doors from their loungers. You can also hire ‘beach towels’ ($5) but I would argue the size of them was questionable for that! The room was very clean and large but felt dated. It suited what we needed it for however, but if we were there longer I think that we would have been disappointed. Very close to the beach, a selection of restaurants and a corner shop for essentials, the staff told us how to get to the shops via bus, so we got some supplies. There is a tv in the room, plus some kitchen equipment which was helpful, we only used the fridge however. I did have to move the temperature of that to cold when we arrived, as someone had it running on its highest, which was close to warm, so check that when you arrive. Would we stay again - yes, it was value for money, but only if it were for a couple of days. The hotel is well located, the beach is beautiful and the grounds seemed well maintained.

Loved our room ✔️

The proximity to the train station

Nice, clean hotel in a quiet pocket of the city, while still being within very easy walking distance of everything Melbourne has to offer. The placement of the room numbers is a little confusing at first, and it took me a moment to realise that my room was the door to the left of the number. It seems this isn’t an uncommon issue, as while I was checking in, another guest came down for assistance after being unable to access his new room for the exact same reason. Maybe it's just the rooms at the end of the hallways but the hotel should probably look at moving the room numbers to a more intuitive location. But, great hotel and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Clean, quiet and an enjoyable stay.
