“GREAT LODGE, just what we wanted. We stayed for 2 nights as part of weekend away.we were very happy with the standard of accommodation - great for what we needed as we were out and about a lot. Quiet room although on main road .Great to be able to park directly outside .A nice touch with free Wifi and close transportation available. Most importantly always smiling and very positive attitude ,helpful management. I would not hesitate to rebook”
“Friendliest staff ever. Any reasonable need you can think of can be catered for; everyone has been most kind, polite and helpful! Everything is clean and neat: rooms, beds and shared facilities alike. Location is superb: minutes stroll to Newport train station (a short trip to Melbourne CBD) and a nice 20 minute walk to Williamstown beach and esplanade with its cafes, restaurants and ice cream parlours. I’ll stay here again and I live in Melbourne now- I strongly recommend you choose to stay here whether you’re doing business, pleasure or something in between.”
