    Small bathroom was a challenge for my dad, a bit older. No kitchenette but overall we had what we needed.

    The location was great for us to access the city, coast and surrounds. The hosts were very welcoming allowing us into their home and helpful on info of their area. The place was very clean and comfortable, no kitchen facilities but the hosts were happy to take our dishes and clean them each day. Fresh cows milk and homemade muesli was a wonderful welcome gift.

    The apartment was a little smelly and quite loud as it's on a big street in Geelong.

    Very nice hosts. The room has everything you need and is located very good and easy to find.

    I don't think the heater counteracted the slight draft.

    Usually stay in motels etc but this place was very welcoming and homely. Was close to everything. There were free snacks there and yummy granola. Water was hot and beds were comfy.

    The kitchenette was very basic (but this was as described so no suprise) but there is the offer of using the kitchen downstairs for a fee. The lack of door to the upstairs meant you slightly lacked privacy but didnt affect our stay.

    The hosts were very warm and welcoming. A small selection of goodies were left for breakfast including homemade granola. The beds were very comfy, the lounge was perfect and the shower was great.

    the place is spacious and loads of entertainment provided in the place which are suitable for families and a group of people. The host even offer the homemade granola in the pantry. Location wise, it's less than 10mins drive to the Geelong CBD and few minutes away from the Belmont town center.

    I wasn't expecting that we would be under the same roof as home owners until I read their email. I guess i didn't pay too much attention when booking. I would have preferred accommodation with our own access rather than rooms via someone's residential front door

    Comfortable beds. Homemade granola provided by welcoming hosts.
