Laneway Loft Apt East Geelong, Short or long Stay

CorneliaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We really enjoyed our stay. We used it as a base to travel to Melbourne which we were able to do from South Geelong Station which was only about 10 minutes drive and had free parking at the station. Near the Loft was a general store, laundromat and restaurants within easy walking distance. It had the normal distant road noises but was fairly quiet location. Unless you like microwave food you cannot cook but we did grab pizza and other foods locally or while we were in Melbourne. As it was just my teen son and myself they made sure there was an extra mattress and bedding which was great. The room has adequate heating or cooling, but kept a nice ambient temperature. What was important for me was that we felt safe and the fact that our car had an off road, carport with roller door access, made it feel all the more secure. (There were no safety issues locally just a personal preference) Would definitely stay there again. Thank you 🙏🌼

A modern kitchen features sleek cabinets in a dark finish complemented by elegant stone countertops.

Geelong City Apartment

What a home! Belinda was super accomodating and had such a quick response, it made the stay so easy. The home itself was absolutely beautiful, if I could live there I would. I will note that the first room, the door doesn’t want to stay closed but otherwise the stay was wonderful. Right in the CBD with almost a picturesque view of the clock tower. Couldn’t rate this higher if I tried.
