We've stayed at Inverloch four times over the last few years, each time at a different place. Mostly Air BnBs but this time with Stayz/HomeAway. For cleanliness, modernity and a super handy location literally a 100 metre walk to the main street in town with a supermarket, cafes, bakery etc, this place is A1. Property manager Samantha was also a complete delight to deal with and everything was easy. The beach is similarly 100 metres away down the hill and really, this is a great, affordable place to stay.
There are only two things we felt worth mentioning to others as something of which to be aware:
(1) The really interesting design of the place, which is in effect a three story open plan space with lots of stairs is not suitable for families with pre-school children. It was completely fine for us as we have a 6 year old who was old enough to not have an interest in such play, but if you have a toddler or young child under 5, you will be on hyper look out if anywhere above ground floor. There are many spaces between the stairs that have quite big drops, and the railings are all wire which is fine if you are a bit bigger like our son but you could not leave your toddlers to play upstairs.
(2) The location is about 100 metres from the only hotel in town. On the Monday night, the doof doof belted out of the venue until 2.30am - this was very loud by anyone's standards, not just for boring middle aged people like us! Light sleepers take note, the venue blasted out 30 mins past its liquor licence. This way well have been a rare night as it was the night before Melb Cup night and the venue organised a special late night licence. But it kept my partner up for hours and hours - I'm a heavy sleeper so it didn't bother me, but for others, bring ear plugs. I should add that Saturday night was quiet and no issues whatsoever.
I do want to stipulate though that we were very happy in this accommodation and would recommend it to others - mostly to singles and couples or small families with older kids. All the facilities were excellent, the view from the balcony was nice and the gardens surrounding the block are very thoughtfully done. This is a five star review but for the 2 points I raised earlier. I'd give it 4 1/2 out of 5 but I don't think this site does halves! :-)
Thanks Samantha - your place was great and the best of the 4 places we have stayed at in Inverloch.
