Updated and very clean room. Strategically located at the edge of the town, so just a short stroll to the shops, restaurants and beach. It's a bit strange that there was a hob but no stove or electric hot plate in the family room that we stayed. However it was OK for us as we didn't cook and only used the microwave to heat up takeaways.

Generally quite decent. Comfy spacious rooms and beds are good too. Location wise it’s close enough to the main area. There are motels closer but Apollo Bay is so small that it doesn’t really matter. A few surprises for us though - there was no daily housekeeping even though they had a sign in the room opting out of daily housekeeping (which we didn’t use), the cleanliness was a bit of a miss. Our outside area had a beer can and lots of broken twigs. In the room as well there were fragments of wood - no idea where they came from. The area outside your rooms is completely dark - lights are not turned on. So it’s a bit freaky. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay here.

We were surprised by the amount of space in the room. The garden patio was really lovely. The bathroom was huge and recently renovated. All within an easy walk to the beach and into town.

Great location. Perfect for a quick overnight. Appears antiseptically clean. Budget friendly. Exactly what you should expect from a beachside motel in a heavy tourist area. In every sense this is a quintessential ‘motel’ experience- from the clientele chain smoking in the parking lot, to the bedspreads, to the dvd players/library. Beds are comfortable, there’s a wee kitchenette & the bathroom will keep you clean till the next stop.

Beautiful room that obviously has had some recent and quality work put into it. Could hear and see the ocean (just) and would be an easy walk to majority of the Main Street attractions.

The room was modern and clean. The beds were comfortable. Not far from the main shopping area. The only issue is the walls are thin and we could hear the people in the room next to us yelling. Which is obviously out of the motels control. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment at the Sea View. The staff were relaxed, polite and efficient. The apartment had a great floor plan and was spacious for our family of 4. Beds were extremely comfortable and the Smart TV was a bonus. Walkable to sops. Overall a great experience. Will definitely be back again.

Nice place, near the beach, near amenities. Four stars was given because.. They charged AUD20 for extra towel. Reason: because we only put 2 adults in our booking. The head side of the queen bed was sagging so we had to sleep the opposite way.
