Best Hotels near Olivers Creek Bushland Reserve, Tyabb

Highly recommended!!! Great price and have to find fully self contained accomodation. Staff were also outstanding 😃

The location was perfect, in the heart of Frankston. The studio room was a good size and clean upon arrival. I had a very comfortable stay. The service staff were nice, arranged parking and offered excellent directions to the places I inquired about in Frankston.

Large room- but missing somewhere to sit and eat. For such a large room strange that there is no table and chairs as there is more than enough room. Breakfast is included- in a COVID safe way. Cereal is in small single use pack-the only issue is bread just in a bag. In the current climate I’m not sure if people are happy to rely on some else hygiene standards. Maybe a single muffin sealed in a single use. The locations is on a main road, which I was aware of-but may put some off. Windows are of good quality and stop the noise. The motel is above a bistro and hotel so no need to walk far for dinner. The bistro has a wide range and offer a senior special $20 for 3 courses. The meals are huge and of good quality.

I'm sure many potential holiday makers have driven past Norwood House Receptions and either not noticed it, or considered it a reception venue only. That is their loss. Behind the reception area is a motel block respendant with collonade along the front making an impressive first impression. Don't get me wrong, some maintenance work needs to be done but the bones of the facility are all good, and the new owners know what needs to be done. Inside however the room was excellent, with a king bed and a king single, the most comfortable since my favoured Sheraton Hotel beds. The room was spotless and the price affordable. Special mention must go to the manager, Laurie, who went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed. Important after day surgery at a nearby private hospital. Opt for one of his home cooked breakfasts for a special treat. We randomly chose to stay here due to its convenient location, close to all that Mornington offers. Our random choice turned out to be first prize in the lucky dip. We look forward to returning in coming months and to see the new owners plans develop into fruition.

We stayed in an Ibis cabin, and cannot recommend it in any way. Firstly, the room was dirty. See the photos below, but know I only stopped taking photos as I was bored, not because I ran out of dirty things. Secondly, the ibis cabins are at the entry to the park. We were right next to the boom gate and speed bump, which made for lots of noise. On the plus side, the photos on the NRMA website were accurate, the Aircon worked well, and the bed was fine if you like the foam mattresses. Oh, and the reception staff were friendly, but the office had closed by the time I realised how bad the room was, so didn’t get chance to ask for a move.

By its website and advertising online through TripAdvisor and Booking.com it presents as a resort. Not the case, however, as it is a motel. This is only apparent on arrival, where they not longer hide the fact and you see signs for Fairways Resort Motel and the layout of a motel, plain as day. I'd give them this, it is pretty good for a motel. There was room service every day to make the bed, refresh the towels and amenities and it was done discreetly and promptly after we left each. The room was clean and check in was easy. Overall, however, a motel but not what I signed up. I feel misled by some good website design and I was disappointed to find a motel rather than a resort. Realising when you arrive ensures it is too late to find new accommodation, so I felt stuck and like the wool had been pulled over my eyes.

Checked in late for an overnight stay, and it was brilliant. Lovely rooms, well appointed and clean, excellent location, with views of the bay. Friendly check in staff. Dinner and drinks at the hotel was great, good range, excellent venue and fantastic food. Plenty of off street parking for the Harley, but not a fan of gravel carparks. Great place to stay.

We stayed here for our 15th wedding anniversary over the long weekend. The staff were incredibly helpful in finding and recommending for us places nearby to eat, and also securing a reservation at their in-house restaurant The Dining Room (An excellent meal, and wines as well, I can see why it’s a hatted restaurant). The location is a beautiful spot in nature with a private lake that you can walk around, multiple cozy, lounges, where you can curl up with a book and a glass of wine and also activities like the indoor swimming pool and outdoor tennis court. Breakfast buffet was also excellent with plenty of options and good coffee. I was particularly impressed with the minibar in our room as they had local craft beer, local wines, and make your own cocktails from Everleigh, which we definitely made use of. Lisa and Sarina on the front desk were particularly helpful in helping us find our room (we got a bit lost!) and securing a late check out when I asked. We were so touched to arrive in our room and see a bottle of wine as an anniversary gift as well! It’s little touches like this that make Lindenderry an amazing place to stay.

We booked two rooms for four nights over Christmas (originally we had six people but one couldn't come due to a medical condition). One was 'pet friendly' and slept 3 , the other one a no-pet family room that slept 5. Both were pristine, comfy beds, lots of space and storage. Shower a little poky but that's pretty standard in a motel. The sliding door into the shower was dodgy in my room but in the other room it was OK - that was the only issue inside the rooms that I noticed. Total cost worked out to $155 per person between the six or just under $39 a night each which is super cheap for two rooms, especially in peak season. Other reviews state that the traffic as noisy, but not with the window closed and I'm from the country so I would notice! There IS air con. The pool was no Spanish caravan park pool (ie: big!) but it was bigger than normal (about 12 or 14m?) and rectangular (WHY do people build kidney-shaped pools??) so one could do laps, although I did have to do 120 to get my normal swim. Salt water. Spa was useless - cold and couldn't even feel the jets. Gate a bit hard to get into - have to reef the child-proof handle up pretty hard. The location is great - not only was it close to our relatives but also half and hour to Hastings, an hour to Portsea, and on boxing day we drove for just over an hour to another relative in a stunning part of south Gippsland. (I think I'll skip the Peninsula drive on a public holiday next time though ...) Good shopping isn't far away either with Dandenong (the markets there are great), Ikea Springvale, Chadstone and Moorabin DFO all within half an hour, Frankston five minutes and so is the Royal Botanic Gardens of Vic (definitely on my list for next time). My main complaints were about the rules outside: 1. There is no pet exercise area close to the motel rooms. The grassed spaces including the huge waste-of-space of a verge are supposedly NOT for exercising your pet, although the BBQ area is large and totally enclosed which would be ideal. There would even be room to fence off one half of it (pretty much a wasted space as it is with no seats or anything) so pets are away from the BBQ. If I was bringing my dog again I would definitely not stay here without a change to those rules. There is access to an off-leash park out the back of the entire park but it is a long way from the motel which is at the front, and way too far for a midnight or early-morning pajama-clad deposit. It is also too far for anyone (or pet!) with a certain type of disability - pretty ableist. I doubt my in-law's little dog could walk that far on a good day and my father in law certainly couldn't. 2. signs outside the rooms ask that people smoke at least 4m from the rooms, but the ashtrays are within 1m and of course that's where people congregate. Our neighbours smoked in the early morning and late at night and their (normal) voices carried right into the room (as did the smoke when hubby opened the door to ask them to keep q
