Newly renovated. Very generous sized rooms. Well run. Great Italian restaurant attached to the hotel. Pool on site (not heated). The owners are planning to expand the hotel - additional floor and glamping options. Can't wait for it to be completed. The only suggestion for the hotel is to change the color light in the room. The white light is a tad cold

Property was far enough from main road to not hear the traffic. Room was comfortable, large and comfortable bed. Carpet had many marks on it. The owners have done a lot with this motel. Plantation shutters give a lovely fresh appearance. Grounds are beautiful too with pristine pool. Restaurant on site, disappointing and pricey. Lasagne and carbonara served alone on plate. $30 for a lasagne, would not recommend this restaurant.

Room smaller than in photos and overpriced for what we got $300 per/n. Staff were not professional. Amenities such as pool advertised, but staff stated it wasn’t open to public due to duck faeces and have not cleaned it. When went to have a look at pool, it was pretty gross. Then I saw people swim in it, so very confused. Very far from hot springs and Mornington where all the shops are. Was a last minute booking which I regret. Won’t come back, and don’t recommend.

Nice Italian restaurant attached to Motel. Tasty food & attentive service given. Room was spacious, clean & well appointed. Location was close to the Marina & gave off a like a sleepy fishing village vibe, more peaceful than on the other side of the Mornington Peninsula, which we appreciated.The only issue that occurred was the level of the floor in Bathroom which created water buildup near Toilet when you used the shower. We reported it, they said it was being addressed when they finished some current new construction work. Would have given higher rating otherwise.

The property was not was what was depicted in the photos on line. It just had a strange vibe all together. Very isolated to the township of Hastings. Has an onsite restaurant that had very average reviews so we Uber ordered instead. No staff to assist with check in, just had to enter reception and grab key. We weren't sure that we had even paid for the night, turned out we hadn't - we could have just left but we aren't that type of person. Very odd hotel indeed!
