The Bank Koroit - Garden Apartment. Right in the heart of Koroit.
This ground floor two bedroom apartment is right in the centre of Victoria's premier town Koroit. Koroit prides itself as Australia's most Irish town. It is the perfect launching pad to explore, or resting destination after travelling, the world renown Great Ocean Road. It is also within easy driving distance to Australia's famous Coonawarra wine region and Gariwerd National Park (Grampian's Mountain Range.) It is in the centre of Victoria's Volcanic plains; dotted with the geological remains of our turbulent past volcanoes. In fact the town sits on the side of the spectacular Tower Hill Volcano. This was Australia's first State Nature Reserve situated within the large crater lake; a caldera, after the Volcano exploded. It is punctuated with many walking paths and spectacular landscapes and home to many of Australia's wildlife and fauna. kangaroos, wallabies, emus, koalas, reptiles and many water birds abound. UNESCO World Heritage Listed Budj Bim is under an hour's drive from Koroit. It is a fascinating and unique place with universal heritage values that demonstrate how our Gunditjmara people worked with the natural resources and environment of the Victorian south west region to establish a permanent place of human society over the past 30,000 years and beyond. Two of Victoria's most popular coastal holiday spots are but 15 minutes’ drive from Koroit. Warrnambool, a city of 35,000 full of amenities, beautiful beaches, eateries and entertainment for families and all ages. There's something for everyone. While Port Fairy, previously named as The World's Most Liveable Small Town, is steeped in our maritime history and early settlement. It is jam packed with restaurants, shops and facilities. Outstanding beaches, amateur fishing opportunities, sporting facilities, regular festivals celebrating all forms of artisan exploits and a very popular Golf Course have the town buzzing year round. But if you want somewhere a bit more chilled that has everything at your doorstep Koroit is truly the place to be. Great restaurants, takeaways, 2 pubs, a huge supermarket, bakery, brewery, wine and gin bar, antiques and opshops all within 5-minute walk from our front door. We get many bicycle riders coming through using Koroit as the perfect stopover on the Warrnambool to Port Fairy Rail Trail. A medium to easy ride through the country side along the old railway route that closed in the early 1970s. The Apartment itself is full of natural light year round with high 15ft ceilings and large windows. The thick stone walls ensure a comfortable temperature year round. Private white window shutters adorn the street front but invite you to enjoy the quiet bustle of the town outside. There is a large bedroom with a queen bed, wardrobe and some day furniture. There is a gas log fire as well as fans for cooling. A second bedroom has a single bed and a writing desk. The lounge/dining room is comfortably furnished and features a wooden dining setting for 6 and wall mounted SMART TV. connected to the in-house WIFI. A fully functioning kitchen adjoins with all the utensils, crockery and cutlery needed. There is a laundry with a washing machine and a walk in Shower. Also there two separate toilets with hand basins. The rear of the apartment is a sublime hidden garden with outdoor seating and tables perfect for a relaxing time. A central feature is the Kurrajong tree; some 10metres high, planted probably when the old stone building was established. Flowers abound at different times of the year; especially the roses in late spring and the dahlias in Mid-Summer. But there is always something popping up in this extensive collection of plants. All in all, we a proud and delighted to share our space and hope you will enjoy staying here at our place in Koroit!

Exceptionally clean, beautifully appointed kitchen if needed.Beds were comfortable.Damien was a pleasure to liaise with and very helpful. This is our second stay at The Bank and will stay again soon
Accommodation at The Bank in Koroit is superb. Extremely comfortable, hosts are very friendly and the location is extraordinary, both in town and for branching out into the area.
Good communication from host. Amazing place to stay at, very interesting decor & good kitchen if you want to just stay in & enjoy the building.The biggest bedroom we've ever slept in & the site has a huge garden too. Took a star off for the bathroom which is very basic [although acceptable] - just not in keeping with the grandeur of the rest of the accommodation. There is some truck noise out the front & you can hear guests upstairs if they are rowdy but it was OK [we always take earplugs wherever we go].

Garden Apartment
Interesting historical accommodation set in lovely gardens. It being an old building with high ceilings was very cold so I left the heater on even whilst away for most of my stay. There was a hiccup in getting the check-in information which was supposed to be sent to me 3 days prior to my stay but was not, so I arrived with no knowledge on how to actually get in. The traffic and the noise from it at street level was an issue as well, not a lot of restful sleep unfortunately. However, I did understand from the listing that The Bank was located on the main street in Koroit so I should've been forewarned enough to remember to bring earplugs along - which I indeed forgot.

Thanks Patricia. We did our best. You did get an early checkin and a late checkout organised. Extra heater as well. We were there when you arrived so didn't know of the problem until you arrived. I did apologise profusely for the mix up with the checkin details. If this sort of thing happens again please ensure to ring either of the two phone numbers associated with us on your booking.
