Great location, walking distance to most areas and a short drive to places of note. Area of improvement would be to address the excess mud in access areas ie getting to the wheelie bin was a trek through heavy mud. Simple cheap solution would be stepping stones/pavers, as this is a region known for rain fall, therefore mud level and location is easily predictable.

Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to send us a lovely review. These days, people can be quick to say when things are bad, but don't take the time when they are good, so we very much appreciate your comments and hope to see you again soon!

We have a self check in system for our guests convenience. Most guest enjoy that system as it means they can check in whenever suits them day or night and is extremely convenient to be able to do so.

Location and friendliness was great. Bedding was like a rock and i was lucky to sleep a couple of hours a night due to this.

As you have posted this review "anonymous" - it is abit difficult to get to the bottom of where you stayed and what the problem was. All of our accommodation has standard height doors which you find everywhere. Many thanks for your feedback.

Many thanks for your feedback. We do understand that it is not possible to please every guest every time but we do take on board and appreciate all comments and strive to do our best to improve our guests experience. The Pod is accurately described on all our booking details so perhaps was not the best type of accommodation for you to select on this occasion. We have plenty of other options at different price points to accommodate all types of travellers.

We booked the 2 bedroom Deluxe room. I would not say mich was 'Deluxe'. 2 lights in the bedroom. Both did not work. Someone was parked in our spot. Staff would not help us despite all regos being recorded on checkin. Could not park in our spot the second day because another car was there. Door lock so old school I locked myself out. Place just needs some tlc, paint, new towels, better vacuuming, etc.

Your parking space is actually at the rear of the cabin that you booked so the car was actually not parked in your spot, but in the correct space for a camping site, which they had booked. The door lock on that cabin is a standard one but we were sorry to hear that you had trouble with it.

No Service, Cabin or park looked nothing like the photos, Noisy, Dirty, No wifi or reception, Hot water stopped working while people used the kitchen, BBQ was filthy, barely enough space to park in between cabins and not even close to value of what was charged.

Clean and comfortable.
Very clean and comfortable, a really neat little cabin. We stayed only one night as we were on our way to do the Great Ocean Walk but would stay again. Check in is automated but the manager is very friendly if you need to ring him.

Ottway hangs
A nice little spot in the gorgeous ottway Forrest. Only thing that let the stay down was the pillows. Terrible for a bad neck but all good otherwise!

totally amateaur hour,
Booking email had pic of cabin, they reserved a pod for me. I havent even heard of a pod. Coulnd find the said pod and returned keys without staying. Went back to Colac and stayed at Colac motel. Colac motel friendly, clean and reasonable price. Located in middle of town.

Response from Wonky Stables on 2 Aug 2018
WE did not reserve a pod for you, YOU reserved this yourself when YOU booked it with a complete description and photo images to accompany it. Thank you for your review, however at no point did you contact us about not being able to find your accommodation. How can you expect to have booked a cabin when you paid $45 for the night? And your booking confirmation clearly said "Pod Van"? Security cameras show you actually having found your Pod Van, then using our amenities and finally driving off as you must have realised you did not book what you intended to.

The lack of staff suited me and I felt like a free spirit, at one with the earth.

A bit difficult to control mosquitos but keeping your doors and windows closed will certainly help.

Super Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis
Selbständiger Check-in. Aber der Host war telefonisch zu erreichen. Er war sehr hilfsbereit und hat uns alle Fragen geklärt. Die Unterkunft war sauber und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Ein paar Kleinigkeiten haben uns gefehlt. Wir haben darüber den Host informiert. Er wird es sicherlich den weiteren Gästen zur Verfügung stellen.
