Sunnymead Hotel
Aireys Inlet|A 0.75km de la Eagle Rock Lookout
VERY happily, I found Sunnymead by accident when my car broke down near Geelong on the way to the Great Ocean Road; so it was an unplanned stay. I limped into Airey's Inlet with the car spluttering, lucky to get that far, phoning around for accommodation. While my car was being fixed by Mark (Malibu Automotive, Anglesea, highly recommended if you need), I stayed in one of the beautifully appointed, newly renovated Sunnymead King rooms (#16) for 3 nights, 20/09/23 to 23/09/23 . I cannot speak highly enough of Sunnymead. Seriously. ”Excellent”/”outstanding” are inadequate descriptions and I have stayed in manyMANY Motels in S.A./Victoria/Queensland and NSW (I live in Adelaide, and drive at least 30,000Kms/year on biz). Sunnymead is exceptional! If you are holidaying in the region, do not pass GO, do not stay anywhere else (please note: I do not know the owners or have shares in the Business). Both Justin and Belinda at Reception are very likable, great communicators who do an excellent job. Polite and professional, warm and cheerful but without being obsequious, Justin and Belinda added a lovely human touch to the business of checking-in and meeting any requests I had (and I can be fussy about fine details). Thanks also to the ever-cheerful Kenny who went about his housekeeping duties with infectiously bright energy. Top bloke. Kudos to the HR person (owners?) who hired them. They're an asset to your business! But you know that, right? ;-) The grounds/garden/parking --- just great. I had a water feature outside my room at the bottom (pond) end of which were a couple of goldfish. The sound of the water trickling was very soothing. Some Motels have rooms which are oppressively colourless, grey, grimy and somewhat claustrophobic, with globes that barely light the room (if they work at all). My Sunnymead room was spacious, bright, modern and scrupulously clean with several additional touches eg Nespresso machine with pods, Turmeric and English Breakfast teas, freeze-dried instant coffee + sugar/milk. The 'King' bed (fluffy quilt on top) was actually two singles pushed together but the centre 'ridge' was well-covered by a comfy mattress topper. The firm mattress was completely to my liking but I can see that some people might not like the firmness and unusually large pillows (I travel with my own pillow; the years have taught me that Motel pillows can be hit-or-miss). The bathroom was lovely --- I'd say 'elegant' --- spotlessly clean and vastly better than many other Motels which seem to settle for grotty, sadly. The shower amenities are of very good quality. The taps took some working out but, mea culpa, I am of the separate hot-and-cold taps Generation (a Boomer). Sunnymead is on a busy road, but the sloping driveway means that traffic noise seems to go over the rooms and I was very happy about how quiet it was. A definite positive, compared to some Motels where traffic noise feels like the room is on a median ***** and passing trucks
Fabuloso
