Hotels near The Rip in Queenscliffe Borough

Booked a King Deluxe Suite and called the property to ensure it is at ground level with a walk in shower, instead of a spa bath due to a disability and a kid. All was confirmed along with late check out at 11 am. We arrive at the property and low and behold, the room allocated was an upstair room, and was told there are no notes there on the booking and we cannot be allocated a room downstairs.  The receptionist said she might know who we spoke to, but unfortunately they are no longer attached to the hotel. How convenient. More over, we were told there is an issue they are having with bookings with booking.com.   The worst part was she was now trying to put us up in a tiny cooped up room above the reception/pub, which was across the main hotel and smaller, saying there was an elevator, which I refused. Ended up staying in the room originally allocated upstairs, with unwashed sticky cutlery, because I could manage the stairs on the day and didn't want to ruin the much awaited holiday after the long lock down.  The situation was handled poorly and the receptionist never once was empathetic or apologetic about the mistake occured from their side and just kept blaming the lack of notes. Unprofessional, rude and sneaky! Didn't even bother to ask about the late check out, coz we were sure there would be no notes.  Tip: Get any special requests via email so you have it in writing, coz they are going to blatantly deny every word confirmed over the phone

The Villa was lovely, as always, but a few things to note... *a broken inside blind in the passage, so unable to be closed for privacy at night *attention to detail with regard to cleanliness was very average. Dirty wooden floor in dining area, and table itself not particularly clean with very grimy edges and legs *incorrect remotes in various rooms, plus complicated TV/DVD setup. Also DVD kept 'freezing' during play, which adversely impacted a number of our movies. Same issues as last time, when we were there 6 months ago! *microwave was VERY wobbly Besides that, we do generally love staying here. Beds are comfy. Showers are good, though the apparatus to move the shower head up and down can be difficult. We love the firepit! Also the staff are always very friendly and helpful. So our group of 5 friends would recommend this as a terrific little getaway.

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.

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.

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 .

Unfortunately, Riverside Motel did not live up to the expectations - which were definitely set by the hefty price tag. I booked pretty short notice and therefore did not have that much of a choice - but thought that at this price point, we should have secured a nice enough place to stay. Well... The motel is located right next to one of the busy roads leading into Ocean Grove. While proximity to a road can be expected for a motel, this should be accounted for in the rates. Staying in one of the priciest of the accomodation choices placed us literally right next to the road (with trucks making the bedroom window shatter from the early morning hours....). The location is otherwise also one of the poorer options in Ocean Grove - nowhere near any of nature`s treasures you can find in this area, or the main street. Checking in was easy and being late was not an issue at all which was nice. However, reception was otherwise frequently unattended. Parking was available next to the cabins, but required quite some manoeuvring to get into, due to the small size of the slots. The cabin - set out for four people - was clean and orderly, the kitchen appliances were working fine (though without a dishwasher or microwave). Cutlery and utensils were scarce, given the amount of people it was rented out for. Towels were provided, linen was clean and beds comfy. Washer and Dryer were in the cabin and worked well. Wifi - advertised on top of the website - was not available in the cabins at all, but provided for the cheaper rooms, in the area around the pool. After some negotiations, we got the Wifi password (and had to go to the pool area to access it) - but it ended up virtually not working most of the time. The pool is nice enough, but only accessible with a key which we received on our second day only. Overall - too high a price tag for what this accomodation has to offer. If you are prepared to pay this amount of money, book one of the nicer options that are definitely out there on the Bellarine to get better value.

The hotel is close to the wheel pier, in the center of the town, and it takes about ten minutes to walk to the bay pier in the town. The sanitation and facilities of the hotel are very good. There are all kinds of things in the kitchen, with salt and pepper. The range hood is directly outside the ceiling, so there is no smell of food in the room, so the sanitary environment is good. The service aunt was patient and took me to explain where the car was parked, where the room was, how to call if there was anything, and tried to dial the phone until you understood.
