Best Hotels in Leopold, Australia

I have stayed at the Admiralty Inn previously and had a good experience. This time however, I was disappointed. The toilet seat was very loose and the shower rail fell down in the morning when having a shower. I was a bit taken aback when I was informed that the reception would not be open when I arrived at 7pm.

The hotel is one of Australia's top 100 golf courses. It's very new. The rooms are big and the beds are very comfortable. The stadium has a supporting restaurant. Friends who go to Geelong can stay there.

Clean cabins with good on-site amenities including a small playground and indoor pool along with a large park and playground across the road. Like any caravan park, the sites are very closely spaced but we weren’t disturbed by any noise in the evening and kids slept well. Was well located with cafe’s etc within easy reach

The hotel is not bad, there is a small bed, a small bed, and a small public yard behind it. It takes a few minutes to drive to the beach and the supermarket. However, this price is not high cost, the Great Ocean Road Hotel is too hot, it is not easy to book this.

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).

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.

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.

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 .

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

Hard to do this review as there was nothing really wrong but there were a few misses. I got the feeling it is mostly a conference hotel - and one that has been retrofitted to update it! Staff were all really young and a bit too casual for a hotel. As it was Easter I had to book two nights and it was quite expensive given it is quite basic. Breakfast is included which is quite lovely. No lunch at Easter and a very small bar menu - Mainly pizza this weekend. Good wine list. Setting is not as nice as I hoped / I got a view of the car park and a bit of food course. It is in the botanic gardens but the gardens are very basic and mostly grass and trees! Nice pool area but mostly a bit overpriced for me.
