Point Lonsdale Hotels & Accommodations

This is a comfortable historic guest house with good facilities including a couple of nice lounges, a well equipped kitchen, and a nice pool and spa for the warmer months. You could tell that the hosts were trying very hard doing the little things just to make it nicer. For example, when I arrived it had been a long day with very minimal to eat so I was really happy to see a complimentary rocky road waiting for me. There was even a stand in the hallway with stuff like tea, coffee, bickies, towels etc just in case you were running short. In the evenings the hosts had always switched on the fake fireplace gas heater to make sure the lounge was nice and warm. Location wise it is about 400m to the lighthouse to watch the ships come in the heads. The bust stop coming from Geelong is about 20m from the front door, while the shops and the bus stop for the other direction are about 400m away, and it's a short bus trip to Queenscliff and the ferry. One thing though, bring some food with you. The couple of take away places were closed early in the week, while the local IGA is horrendously expensive. I hopped on the bus and did the short trip to Ocean Grove that had normal priced Aldi and Woolworths. The guest house has refrigerators and all the kitchen gear if you need it.

We had a two night stay for a wedding in Sorrento. The room was spacious with a lot of little extras like plates, bowls and cutlery, dishwashing liquid and tea towel and of course the usual tea/coffee/milk. The bathroom was big with toiletries included. There was also a big TV. Everything was clean and although it is on Melbourne Road it was quiet due to the concrete walls. Would definitely stay again - the owner/proprietor was very accommodating and friendly.

Very generous camp sites easy access great amenities. Fake grass on site meant that water didn’t pool up and make ground soggy and muddy. Only issue was the ground beneath the fake grass was almost impossible to penetrate for normal pegs. Even screw pegs had some trouble.

Saturday night Australia Day long weekend booking was simply bad with no excuses. Food and wine received very ordinary and over-priced - tho two out of five dishes had to be cancelled as not received over an hour after ordering. Followed up twice and eventually advised there was a trainee in the kitchen!? One of our party ending up not dining at all as their vegan dish was one that never arrived. Young and keen (but inexperienced) staff were genuinely doing their best but needed a leader to manage the service over a busy Australia Day weekend. Owners clearly more focussed on their advertised new gifts and candle business. Thankfully other local options have been great. (Not surprised to find business closed now until Wednesday).

Beautiful room with comfortable bed and bathroom was spacious.The rooms overlook the golf course, no I don't play golf! Nice little balcony looks onto the course as well as some sea views could be seen afar. Great TV Channel with excellent movies to watch. Heating worked well. 🚿 shower was lovely with strong pressure with great temperature too. Breakfast was in my booking too, added extra bonus. Staff at reception on arrival was lovely and to see a staff member happy to attend to me. Thank you! 🌻 Staff in the bar area was lovely to answer any questions I had for her, so thank you. Enquired about where breakfast was in the morning. There's a nice bar upstairs from the rooms, all rooms are located on level 1 only one floor for rooms. The bar is big, spacious with lots of outdoor area to sit as well. Big TV to watch the footy match, 'Go Cats 🐱 Overall this hotel was lovely and quiet, just exactly what I needed this weekend. Off too the hot springs ♨ today,always a favorite of mine!

WOW! Carmel’s is simply Devine! This accomodation is stunning and is a beautiful place to rest and relax. There was plenty of room for our party of 6. Keyless entry, underground parking and access to the apartments is simple and easy. We loved the fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook, it has a coffee machine, large selection of teas and having a washing machine and dryer was fantastic. 3 bedroom apartment had spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds with plenty of pillows and blankets. 2 smart TVs and a gorgeous kitchen bathrooms and spacious lounge and dining area. The remote blinds were a nice touch and so easy to use. The balcony was huge with a BBQ and dining table. Service from Staff was exceptional they went above and beyond to provide mobility disability items for my Mum to make her stay more comfortable which was greatly appreciated. Location was perfect in the Main Street you could walk to shops and restaurants which was great. A grazing platter was a very nice gesture and was delicious. I would highly recommend staying at Carmels a perfect getaway couples, families or a group of friends.

Due to an accommodation issue in Ballarat we decided to change our destination to Queenscliff. Hunting online for somewhere to stay at the last minute we found Ruby’s. What a lovely place. Ralph was very welcoming. We stayed in a two room cottage to the side of the owner’s home. The accommodation has two spacious rooms, lounge/kitchenette area and separate bedroom with ensuite. The kitchenette has a microwave, toaster and kettle along with crockery and cutlery. Lovely fresh decor with sofas and heating in both rooms. The WiFi is fast and water hot. There is a shared outdoor space with a BBQ and in ground pool. Ruby’s is situated in a quiet area and literally a couple of minutes walk from the main street of Queenscliff. Close to shops, cafes, galleries and a short walk to the water, it’s in the perfect position. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We’d definitely stay again and would recommend as good value accommodation with style.

Very nice accommodation, was clean, Bed was comfortable, even a bottle of wine for us! not far from anything, very private with a courtyard. Key was waiting at our room when we got there. So no need to check in. Thankyou for a lovely stay 😀

Smiles all round, from staff and fellow travellers. Great open kitchen with all amenities clean and uncluttered. Would stay again.

Peter and Polly are the perfect hosts! Pauline is friendly and helpful with a really cheerful manner. Peter is a lovely man who will take you on a tour to meet Ellie the donkey and all of the other animals ( just don’t turn your back on the goat 😂!)Beautifully appointed room that is spotless with a really comfortable bed. Would definitely stay again .
