John looked after my checkin, he was great, friendly & professional. The toom is clean, bright and comfy.
The property is in a great location for attending the footy at GMHBA stadium. The owners were fantastic in upgrading us to a unit that had two bathrooms (there were 6 adults), however, they only made up bedding for 5, when our booking was for 6. We managed ok, but it was disappointing.
I loved how I could experience both feelings of the comforts of home is to me, and how I also felt as if I was away on vacation. Pleased to say the check in was great and so to speak the customer service was amazing. Didnt have any difficulties or trouble and was happy with my stay. I sincerely thank-you for our stay John!
We were concerned with a few objects found under the bed, we had a small baby and were concerned for her safety, the bathroom door didn’t shut correctly and there were a few objects underneath the bed that were dangerous. Also didn’t like that the bed was a double and not a queen bed. Thought it was overpriced for the size of room and amenities The location was great and the room was modern

Disliked: Cleanliness
Owner of properties was rude, unprofessional and wouldn’t want to return for this reason.
Be careful giving your card details as the owner thinks he then has a right to keep charging you for things without discussing them with you first!
Will not be returning!
John made us feel very comfortable and looked after as soon as we arrived, such a beautiful private little family spot and I will definitely be coming back 😊
Check in process is terrible.
I also do not like being told how to reverse my own vehicle.
I also did not like how we waited 20 minutes to be able to access our room.
I mentioned I needed the bathroom so if we could just go leave our things quickly and use the facilities. When we finally accessed the room the owner came in to the room we had paid for. Sat down with his laptop and said we could use the bathroom while he was sorting out our booking.
Shocking service. Really really bad.
As a single visitor, and AFLW supporter, McKillop Geelong was the ideal stay. It is within walking distance of the football ground and a comfortable stay
We could not fit the car into the carpark as there were beds and service items in the carpark.
Do not stay in a ground floor apartment, the ceiling must be very thin as it was very noisy from the family with 3 or 4 kids staying above us.
Very dirty, sheets had hair all over them, dirt th
Very dirty, sheets had hair all over them, dirt the bathroom walls and spilt liquid, all cutlery and dishes were dirty very over priced for what it is.
