We chose the Rose Garden Hotel after reading reviews on trip advisor. We are glad we chose this hotel. We arrived super early and the owners son let us straight into our room. Our room was a family room, two rooms. Very spacious and comfortable. We were fortunate to find a kids play ground and swimming pool right outside our... More

Clean, comfortable, fenced pool, playground ... and very courteous and helpful staff - what more could you ask for? We stayed in several motels during our Victorian road trip and this was the best. Just out of the city centre on the way in/out to the Great Ocean Rd. More

I didn't want to write this review until I was sure we weren't coming back to Victoria soon, so we would get our 'regular room'!

Yes, it... More

The exterior looks much like a typical Australian motel, but inside the rooms are modern, stylish, comfortable and immaculate. A very restful, quiet, and peaceful evening. Also, very close to Geelong High Street, with numerous restaurants. They do not offer wifi, although you can connect to a LAN cable if you have a laptop. For iPad users that does not... More

excellent standard of accommodation - spacious, clean, free internet, patio and adjacent parking. large bathroom with spa bath. good fridge but only a standard microwave; might have liked a hotplate or small oven. also would have liked an extra set of cutlery and plates. More
