Very conveniently located to the Spirit of Tasmania berth. We were late checking in and the owner had left the room unlocked for us which made it very easy upon our arrival. (He also messaged us to advise same, much appreciated.) The room was of a good size, clean and the bed was comfortable. Air conditioning worked well and was very quiet! All the facilities, such as kettle, toaster crockery and cutlery were provided.

Ripponside is on the main road into Geelong. It was easy to access after spending the day with family celebrating Boxing Day, We had traveled from Hamilton, Western Victoria, earlier in the day and wanted a rest before returning home. Other guests staying at Ripponside that night were mainly spending a night in Geelong before boarding the Spirit of Tasmania the next morning. I got up early and went down the Spirit of Tasmania terminal to see the ship arrive. The terminal at Geelong is much better than the ones at Port Melbourne and Devonport. The coffee at the Anchors Rest Cafe was good. It was nice to relax and have some 'time out'.

Room was basic but we didn't expect the Ritz. It was clean although we were a towel, mug and glass short for three people. Noise was tolerable but it had its moments being on a quite busy intersection on a Saturday night.

It took me back to when my parents used to take us on trips. It's a beautiful old fashioned motel and is one of the cleanest and loveliest we have seen in a very long time. Management is so friendly and if want to know what's on in Geelong he is the go to man. The location is perfect it's walking distance to Rippleside beach and restaurants. It's serviced daily and is so clean. Highly recommend this property and the management. Ten out of the ten.

Our stay at this property was very pleasant and we had no issues at all. We checked in a little bit late but the manager was very friendly and nice. The room was very clean and tidy. The toilet and bathroom were clean and no smelly odour. The tv was subscribed with a lot of channels Netflix, prime etc.. and the most important part was it had a microwave. Very convenient for travellers like us.

Arrived late from the Spirit of Tasmania ferry. No worries - if Paul (Manager) knows that a guest is arriving from the ferry he will stay open. Also he couldn't have been more cooperative, helpful and friendly. Room was average Australian motel room, nothing special but clean.

Ideally placed for travelling on the Spirit of Tasmania. Have to be alert to access the driveway from the busy main road, if you miss it go around the block towards the beach and try again. The manager will explain the easy way in and out (once you get there the first time). Old-style place but more than adequate, clean and has everything. The manager is attentive and helpful and will show where to reach cafes and restaurants or a beach walk (recommended) if you don't know the area.

Room review it's so nice it literally has everything. it has a fridge, microwave and kettle. So so clean. my biggest pet peeve is going to a motel with a dirty room but this motel is so clean I can't fault it as a clean freak! it has literally everything and you can park your car out front of your room. also you can't hear the traffic in the main road so it's perfect. also the bathrooms are upgraded which is great! also they have Netflix like how good is that

Location near the water, it’s 15 mins to the city. All the staff including the cleaner were lovely, they have a tiny small white dog (our alarm clock lol when it’s barking which I appreciate on the second day to catch our bus but not first day when I need extra snooze).

The shower was fantastic! We were surprised how well equipped it was. Loved the fact we could watch Netflix on the TV with no extra charges applied and parking was free.
