Clean spacious tastefully decorated room with lovely views. Breakfast was very good. Clean bathroom but shower needs a screen to stop water splashing to tiles. Didn’t love the COVID check-in as there was no warmth/greeting. Location is great however needs to drive for meals.

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and service was friendly. It was a relaxing and quiet stay with a delicious inclusive breakfast! The only thing i would critique is the photos on the site in regards to suite 3. While the room is identical to suite 1, the view is not and the photos used for suite 3 are from suite 1. Only a minor issue but we used the photos as a guide of what the view was like and were slightly disappointed. Overall we were happy with our stay :)

When we entered the room matt was wet and colour was fainted. Mini bar fridge was empty, chairs and table in balcony was very dusty. Next day morning we had to go to kitchen for breakfast because they were short of staff and were unable to deliver food to our room. When we attended kitchen, staff’s behaviour was very rude.

Be great if you could tell the truth mate instead of blaming everyone around you except yourself for your own ignorance. Re the toilet, if you had used it before your wife you would have found a pristine presented bathroom with a delightful rosehip odour. Do you think we would still be in business with such a high rating after 14 years if we provided smelly unclean toilets? Really! Re breakfast and late arrival - With COVID 19 rules we have to follow we have created a contactless arrival that is being easily used by everyone except you the past six weeks and is available 24 hours a day. We also have to co-ordinate social distancing and comply to guests per square metre in the cafe hence we require guests to order the evening before to enable safe allocation of seats. This is made clear in no less than four different communications that we know you received because you had selected pieces of those communications to comply with because they suited you but chose others not to comply with because they didn't. Go back and read your arrival SMS, read your welcome letter, read your menu, read the mighty big sign at the check-in station and you will see that just as a small courtesy in these dangerous times we need a small piece of information from you to operate. What an angry man loser. I hope you have better things to do today than to blame others for your disrespect and ignorance. Re breakfast and arrival

Great location with incredible views. We arrived in a lovely heated room that was clean, spacious, homely and luxurious..and the bed was one of the most comfortable we've stayed in! If this didn't make the stay good enough, our breakfast the next morning was delicious. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Unfriendly cold and miserable
Impossible to get in- an overly complicated entry system and the owners reluctant to answer the phone. When we finally got into our cold dark room with the dirty table, cup stains etc there was a scruffy piece of paper telling you to order breakfast the night before or you wouldn’t get it! No idea of friendly customer service at all. Luckily the owner realises that this isn’t the job for them as the place is surrounded by for sale signs. Despite being fleeced for $320 to stay in this miserable place we decided to go elsewhere and left. Suggest waiting till this place has new owners before staying here.... worst bandb ever

Convenient, Clean, comfortable
George's B&B is ideally located at Arthur's Seat, providing easy access to vineyards, restaurants and all the wonderful sights of the Mornington Peninsula. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a fabulous view out over Port Phillip Bay. We would happily choose this accommodation for our next visit to this beautiful area.

Amazing view on top of Arthur's seat. Service, room, breakfast and everything about the stay was excellent. Just note that it's on top of the mountain so there is no food or stores nearby at night, so you'll need to drive 10-15 minutes back down a twisty, fairly unlit road back down to Dromana. Highly recommend and would go back.

Nice
If you're looking for a friendly b&b experience where you are greeted on arrival by a host & there's the personal touch, this is not it. We were in room 4 - no view. the view from the breakfast/sitting room was nice. I assumed, wrongly, that we could have dinner there as it is a gourmet retreat, we couldn't - I should have checked before booking. Although it is next to a pub- that closed on Sat night at 7pm. It's a nice place & I suspect rooms 1-3have amazing views, but it wasn't an overly friendly place. I guess it depends on what you're looking for.

Excellent location for exploring the region
Stayed for 2 nights over Easter in room 4. This is the smallest of the 4 rooms at George's but was still adequate size. Luxury bathroom and facilities in general were immaculate. Watched the Roos at sunset in the vineyard next door. The only minus point was the piped music that played in the lounge / dining area. Due to the location of the room this could be clearly heard. So I had to call and request it was turned off. This was not a problem. Staff very helpful and offered suggestions and advice. Highly recommend George's for a stay on the Peninsula. Although next time I would book further in advance so I could stay in 2 of the 3 suites upstairs.

amaxing hotel & views
Myself and my husband had a quiet weekend away to celebrate our 7 year wedding anniversary. We're parents but I must say that we loved staying in a adults only hotel! Room was spacious and clean. The views from our suite was amazing- beautiful sea views! We loved catcging the ridge rider to the winery early evening. The driver was helpful and friendly. The breakfast next morning was delicious... fresh produce! Staff was helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a relaxing and peaceful escape from the city! We would definitely go back. AMAZING!!!
