  Overpriced and disappointing experience

  Be aware before booking. Overpriced and disappointing experience: - furniture and amenities are run down - housekeeping is not included in the price (we stayed in the king bedroom apartment) - manager Sue is confrontational, rude and unprofessional - room was not clean (found hair in the bathroom, dirt in window seals, windows with no or broken fly screens, patio had bird poo everywhere on the floor) - not good for sleep (noisy and bright) - definitely not a 4 star resort. More like a motel - tried to cancel after one night but request was rejected by management - location is great minus the massive walk to the beach and lack of indicative signage

  Not worth it

  For a place that charges that amount. Room was noisy from outside noise. Pool not heated was warmer to go beach for a swim. Definatly not worth the money nothingto keep kids entertained. Wont stay again

  A Bizarre Greeting

  We were looking for somewhere to stay. Popped into resort, for a look see. There were some north facing sun filled rooms that took our attention. They did however face the car park. However the 'rear' rooms, whilst facing over parkland and sand dunes beyond, lacked natural sunlight, and had large external balconies that further shaded rooms. Went into reception , and a lady walked out of a side door and stood in front of me. I explained we were seeking information on the north facing rooms, and the property in general Was promptly told in a terse manner that 'we couldn't just do that'. I commented that I just had a couple of questions and was told in a similar tone that I 'shouldn't be in there'. She then said something about needing a 'permit' or something similar to come on site. Decided that this was not the hospitality we were looking for, and did not continue the discussion any further. We did reach out to the resort in writing on our experience, but they have not bothered to reply Otherwise, from the little we saw, grounds were tidy and well kept, pool looked clean from a distance, and there was plenty of greenery around.

  Depressing, dark and no privacy

  Outdated, dark and no privacy. The only curtains are blackout blinds so you are either sitting fully exposed to passerby or in total darkness. Our room has water damage that has been painted over. The TVs are TINY. There are no public areas to relax in. Pool is not heated. Checking out a night early and opting to lose money rather than stay a third night. Came to be by the beach, play golf, and have some quality couples time. They are fully booked so no other room was available, but I am not sure that wouldve made a difference.

  Good for a weekend getaway

  Located within the 13th Beach Golf complex, the rooms here are serviced apartments. Firstly don't come expecting a Gold Coast style resort or you'll be disappointed. This is a country area not a city. One and two bedroom apartments are available but all apartments only have one bathroom which wouldn't be ideal if you are a large group. We found the rooms comfortable and spacious. The dining table came in handy when we just wanted to take back some fish and chips to our room and have an early night. Side note: Recommend Barwon Heads Fish & Chips! Due to Covid-19 measures all amenities are delivered to your room. No complaints at all. There is a simple restaurant at the hotel but it is not open all the time and we didn't dine there. The 13th Beach Clubhouse (located a short 3 minute walk away) offers breakfast, lunch and even dinner on some nights. We ate breakfast here and it was a hearty start to the day. Otherwise, Barwon Heads is only 5 minutes by car with enough options. The hotel has a small gym and pool. Golfers will be happy with 36 holes right on your doorstep and both courses are high quality. Would we stay here again? Yes.
