Ease of access and comfort

N/A

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.

Breakfast excellent, location close to all amenities

No improvement needed with stay.

We were welcomed by the hosts and made to feel welcome and comfortable

Comfortable beds. Homemade granola provided by welcoming hosts.

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

Terri makes her own granola, other options also available. Private lounge makes an excellent work and rest zone. The bedroom is comfortable

The traffic can be noisy, but abates later in the evening

We were staying there for 3 days 2 nites. Caring and very friendly hosts. Well equipped and comfortable beds and good location. Very nice homemade granola and beautiful rose in bedroom. Feel like home. Surely will go back when visit Geelong. Thanks Ian and Terri Dewar. Love and best regards from Malaysia

excellent

location

Really confortable, the hosts are adorable, very confortable place. Bus stop just in front of the house !

Airconditioning and ceiling fans for comfort. Milk, butter and biscuits in the fridge. Coffee and tea provided plus a microwave and toaster. Very clean. Plenty of pillows and extra blankets. Although on a busy road it was quiet. Ian and Terri were very welcoming and friendly hosts.

The beds were so comfortable, living room was large and airy.

Not very private...advertised as having a private entrance, no their front door. Very uncomfortable knowing and hearing them downstairs and when going out, turning around a there she was in my face. Didn't see alfresco or BBQ area, pretty dodgy kitchen area, plastic bowl for washing up, little table and 2 chairs on verandah with ash try supplied, that was good apart from the location. Next to split system unit and dirty old shoes, not to mention the car on the right full of cobwebs and stuff. Front yard was not maintained. I could go on, but I won't

Great location for exploring the Great Ocean Road. Appreciated the quiet location away from the tourist hustle on the coast. Hosts were friendly and considerate and we enjoyed the privacy. Great value all round.

Location was convenient for me

I wasn't aware that it was a private home and would have preferred a motel or serviced apartment.

Terry and Ian were very welcoming to us on arrival. Accommodation is located in a great safe location. Would recommend Gateway to the Surf Coast and Geelong as a great stay.

Nothing

There is no door between the rented rooms and the owners’ rooms. So no privacy and no security at all. I was shocked and distressed. I have asked for my money back with no success. I did not stay.

Big room, friendly staff, free tea, coffee, fresh milk, filtered water, cereal.

Noisy location, dog & trucks woke me up during the night

we needed somewhere to sleep

that we had the same access to the property as the owners

great location, and great set up

We loved the little touches… the homemade granola, the thoughtful plant-based milks, all the puzzles and games to enjoy. The space is a great size.

The shower pressure was the only tiny issue.

The view from the top story. Loved the snacks provided! It’s got a great warm home feeling :)

The owners where to involve. Needs to be a door or even something little like a fence. At one point we where trying to stop the dog from doing laps up stairs where I was meant to be staying.
