Top Southern Cross Hotel Reviews

Best Western Olde Maritime

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic place to stay. We were there for one night only but it was way above our expectations. Lovely well maintained property. Very clean. Staff very friendly and could not be more helpful."

Discovery Parks - Warrnambool

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the standard unit and the only fault is the tv up on the wall faces the bed so kids had to sit on bed to watch TV. The room was a good size and had a comfy bed, good kitchen and had everything needed for cooking, which we didn't use but it's all there. The park is a great size and there's enough for kids to do. I would not hesitate to stay at the park again."

NRMA Warrnambool Riverside Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was lovely and presented well, in a quiet location with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We stayed in Family Cabin 15 and had a couple of minor issues. The door lock was quite difficult to open, and some of the sheets folded on the bunk beds were unfortunately dirty. Thankfully, we only needed to use one of the beds, so it wasn’t a major issue for us. Overall, a lovely place to stay and we would happily return."
