4-Star Hotels in Victoria, Australia

Because we were traveling to and from the Great Ocean Road to see the Twelve Apostles, we saw this resort hotel that included breakfast, and the price was very reasonable. Plus, the hotel isn't far from the Geelong visitor center, so we could also take a stroll along Geelong's waterfront. The room was spacious, and the shower facilities with a handheld showerhead were excellent, making it perfect for a family road trip to use as a stopover on the way to the Great Ocean Road. Although the hotel breakfast wasn't particularly elaborate, basic items like eggs, various breads, yogurt, juice, coffee, and tea were available from 7 AM, which is great for travelers who need to get an early start.

It's a motel, so don't expect a four-star standard. Located facing Apollo Bay, the top-floor sea-view rooms boast a large balcony – perfect for watching the ocean during the day, stargazing at night, and listening to the waves. The room is well soundproofed; once the balcony door is closed, it becomes very quiet. However, the air conditioning in the living room was broken, and the hairdryer was also out of order. The two-bedroom apartment is spacious and comes with a kitchen and a washing machine. On the downside, no slippers or other toiletries were provided, though shower gel and shampoo were available. A significant portion of the room cost was covered by Ctrip points, which was a great perk.

The hotel has a great location, with gas stations and restaurants nearby. The rooms are spacious and the kitchen is fully equipped. However, definitely do not book a room that includes breakfast; the breakfast, which costs over 200 RMB, consists of instant cereal and soy milk.

The facilities are basic, but it's relatively tidy and clean, typical of a standard motel. The reception closes quite early, so if you're arriving late, remember your key will be under the doormat. I managed to capture the Gemini constellation with my phone on the beach around 10 pm, which was very satisfying. The acai bowl at the nearby Rawr Bar cafe was delicious. Sitting outside on a sunny morning, slowly enjoying breakfast and coffee, then strolling on the large beachfront lawn before driving off to find koalas – it was perfect.

Location is about 1 min walk away from tram stop. It’s located within free tram zone, and it’s about 20min away from the city centre. Room is cleaned daily. There is a small fully equipped kitchen. In addition washer and dryer are provided too which benefitted us greatly. However the sound proofing can be improved, we could hear sounds from the corridor when our neighbours returned late at night. The bed is also on the softer side.

easy check in. good communication on how to collect room keys. room is spacious & comfortable. Good location. walking distance to most eatery.

Location: Just a few hundred meters from Southern Cross, with convenient stores, restaurants, and tram stops nearby. Transportation is very accessible. Room: Spacious, clean, and comfortable. Service: Below even the most basic guesthouses. Some of their policies are unbelievable for a hotel apartment in 2026. They seem dedicated to turning essential services into paid items. Unless you have no other choice, I don't recommend it. 1. The front desk isn't 24-hour. Don't book here if you arrive after 8 PM local time, as there's an extra service charge. 2. If you forget your key and need someone to let you into the apartment, there's an extra service charge. 3. If everything goes smoothly during check-in, you're a customer. If there's a problem, they act like they're royalty. A normal response would be to help solve the issue, but they seemed annoyed that it was delaying their shift, and their attitude was terrible. Amenities: Kitchenware, refrigerator, washing machine – everything you need. Just remember to bring your own toothbrush, toothpaste, and slippers.

The hotel's hygiene is excellent, and the lobby is spacious and bright. There are plenty of elevators, so even during peak hours, you don't wait long. The rooms are also spacious with beautiful window views; one side should offer a clear view of the river connecting the North and South banks, perfect for watching New Year's fireworks. Housekeeping is arranged from the third day of your stay, and they do a thorough and clean job. Overall, I'm very satisfied, although the location is a bit far from the CBD and Melbourne's main attractions. However, once you cross to the North Bank, you're not far from the tram free zone, which makes up for it. 👍👍👍

I arrived at late check-in time on 2/11 Sunday and Mildua Inlander's staff was after office hour so I contacted to staff for room check-in by phone call, Staff are so helpful to help me to collect the room key and required admin work. However, due to the resort's layout and my room location(my room is ROOM 90), the circulation of the hotel is not poor, poor room ordering(it is not by 101 for on 1/F like typical hotel, it is using 1-50 for G/F, 51-100 for level 1; if 101-110 for block 1, 121-129 for block 2, 131-139 for block 3, 141-150 for block 4 would be better), no coherent corridor at the end, not much signage and map/easy to miss, no Lift or easy ramp for level 1. so, it is hard to find my room and poor experience before entry the room. Room is good for me. One thing is: can consider to have openable window after the mosquito net on the balcony sliding door if I don't want to turn on the air-conditioner.

Thanks to the host lady for taking time to help us when we arrive at the time of the office closure. Bread and cooking as a welcome gift, super sympa.
