Excellent accommodation and very clean One challenge was the lack of catering options due to the holiday period . No food or drinks for 48 hours immediately post New Year. This was reflected across a lot of Victoria so not isolated to hotel. The hotel did email us about this pre arrival however we were committed to payment at that time. Totally understand everyone should have time off to celebrate. More warning with clear options would have been helpful Excellent otherwise . .

Great location and convenient to have kitchen facilities since the restaurant is rather uninviting. Beds and furnishings need to be replaced, and beds increased in size, as there is room in the suites.

The location of the property is convenient and quiet. Originally from Victoria, I know the area well. The staff were friendly.

Loved the idea of all the rooms being full suites with kitchen amenities and that the windows opened for fresh air. The beds unfortunately are far too soft and squishy and we both woke up with sore backs. Also, there need to be more variety of menu choices in the dining room. It's very limited. We did however really enjoy our breakfast the next morning.
