Hotels near The Rip in Queenscliffe Borough

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

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

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 .

Perfect for families, clean cabin. Wonderful activities for kids. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Great idea having a kiosk and a coffee machine. Comes in handy if you’ve forgotten to pack some necessities. Cabins are spaced out evenly and have privacy.

This is a comfortable historic guest house with good facilities including a couple of nice lounges, a well equipped kitchen, and a nice pool and spa for the warmer months. You could tell that the hosts were trying very hard doing the little things just to make it nicer. For example, when I arrived it had been a long day with very minimal to eat so I was really happy to see a complimentary rocky road waiting for me. There was even a stand in the hallway with stuff like tea, coffee, bickies, towels etc just in case you were running short. In the evenings the hosts had always switched on the fake fireplace gas heater to make sure the lounge was nice and warm. Location wise it is about 400m to the lighthouse to watch the ships come in the heads. The bust stop coming from Geelong is about 20m from the front door, while the shops and the bus stop for the other direction are about 400m away, and it's a short bus trip to Queenscliff and the ferry. One thing though, bring some food with you. The couple of take away places were closed early in the week, while the local IGA is horrendously expensive. I hopped on the bus and did the short trip to Ocean Grove that had normal priced Aldi and Woolworths. The guest house has refrigerators and all the kitchen gear if you need it.

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.

Very nice atmosphere that really make you feel like you are on a holiday. Bump into a wedding ceremony when I checked in. Staff was friendly. However there are no free parking even staying with the hotel. I like the view from the window.

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.

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.
