Everything that I needed and cheap. Only stayed one night. Bed was comfortable. Shared shower. Staff went above and beyond. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the area. A very old accommodation that served a very decent meal

6/10 Good

The staff were really helpful & friendly & the food in the pub was great. There were really only two issues (a) the TV in the common room didn't have 'Free to air' & I don't have any streaming subscriptions & (b) when it came to having a shower you had to choose between a door that didn't lock or a clear window that exposed your 'inner beauty' to all of Wonthaggi! (I opted for the not locked)...

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable room with no private toilet.

Stopped over for a night before going to the beach. Everything was alright except for the activities held downstairs in the pub. It seems that they have a band on Friday nights which makes it impossible for you to sleep before midnight. The mattress is very comfortable. There are cafes and shops nearby. Only shared bathrooms and toilets.

The hotel really old and not well maintained. The entrance of the hotel is closed and you need to go all the way to the back enter to the back door of the 2nd floor to be able to go inside.

I didn’t read it was a shared bathroom and toilet situation. Both areas were dirty, full of spiders and webs. Only a fan on one of the hottest nights of the year! Learned my lesson to read all fine print.

Verified review

4/10 Fair

We booked for 2 adults, I child and an infant. Only one queensize bed with side table in room. No bench, sink or fridge in room. They provided a blow up bed for teenage son. We had to squeeze past to get from one side to the other. No sink in shared Kitchenette area. Shared bathrooms at end long hall, and still with incomplete areas. No window to outside for the room. We managed, only just.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

I arrived at 4.30pm and my room was not ready. I waited and it took nearly 2 hours before the room was ready. The staff member could not locate my room or provide access to the kitchen. The amenities were not clean and the room assigned to me belonged to a lodger, whose personal belongings were in the room. The accommodation was noisy until 1am in the morning so I barely got any sleep. There were cobwebs galore on the windows and the fly screen was broken and I could not turn the power point off as the switches wouldn’t move to the off position.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

The location was excellent but the facilities were terrible. One old single room with awful furniture, only had a fan and fly screen was ripped to pieces. Had to use a shared bathroom and shower. Ok if all you wanted was a bed.

They had this machine outside the window of the room that continuously made a loud noise for approx 15 seconds then went off with a pause of about 5 minutes it was excruciating I would ask for a refund
Verified review

2/10 Poor

I don’t want to sound rude but this is the first time I left an accommodation. Beds were dusty, bins were unchanged, shared toilets, sheets weren’t even changed. There were loud noises expected to last til 1:00 am when I was told by staff it would be “minimal”. To my surprise, the bin inside my room wasn’t even changed. It was an absolute chaos. I lodged a refund request with my insurer. The staff were friendly but you can tell all the guests there felt trapped in the middle of nowhere. We had to cut the loss and leave. Fortunately we found an accommodation somewhere in Dandenong. I will never go back. The photos in the ad don’t even clearly depict what you will see when you arrive. The place was absolute chaos. The entry and exit points were dodgy. I felt really unsafe aside from the noise and sanitation issues.
