Great location in a quiet spot and within walkable distance to the local town and beachfront. Room was clean and free parking onsite right outside the room was a bonus! Bathroom was long and thin so was a little difficult to manoeuvre around inside but absolutely fine to manage for one night. Bed was comfortable enough for one night. Easy check in/check out process - all in all a good place to stay!

Comfy and secure property within a very short walk of the beach, cafes and restaurants and IGA. I had a spa studio which was lovely and I loved watching the footy from in the spa. Staff were friendly, the room was very clean and had everything that I needed, including a microwave and stove and best of all…I could hear the beautiful sound of the ocean at night time. I loved it so much that I’ve booked again for September:)!

I booked this hotel at the last minute and didn't have high expectations. When I arrived quite late, the associate at the counter was extremely friendly and helpful and upgraded me to a lovely room with cooking facilities and a microwave. It was a real little gem and I highly recommend this great hotel.

The room was tidy and everything was just as it should be. We appreciated the upgrade to the full kitchen. The free laundry facility for patrons was a nice touch. The room is minutes from the beach and all the amenities of the village.

We’ve just spent almost 3 weeks travelling around and this was our last hotel stay of many. What a pleasant surprise, the room was huge, self contained, clean and had a wood heater and a spa! Only a couple of minutes walk from the main strip, parking outside the door. Definitely up there with one of the better ones. We’ll be back for sure!

We stayed for a night. The property was walking distance from the shops and restaurants, however, it was very overpriced for what it was. Room was tiny which would not have been a problem but it was very dirty. The fridge was mouldy, there was hair in the sink, and I had to clean the toilet seat.

Das Motel ist ruhig gelegen. Der Empfang war sehr herzlich. Küche war gut ausgestattet. Leider war das Geschirr nicht ganz sauber. Das ist wohl den Vorgängern geschuldet. Allerdings wird beim Reinigen der Zimmer da auch nicht drauf geachtet

Reception was non existent, room keys in a lock box. Rooms are in need of a makeover and are dirty, cobwebs in the bathroom. The air conditioner in our room didn’t work and through the night the loose fan rattling kept us awake. Would highly recommend you do not go there.

The room was so small, no space where to put one piece of luggage, mind you two of them. Everything was so crammed, including two folding chairs in the wardrobe. The washroom was like a tunel, door overlapping with the end of the bed, sink was a joke, one cannot even brush teeth over it without banging the head against the mirror. Supplies for shower were one sampoo and one conditioner, for 2 ppl staying there 2 nights, plus some towels that needed some love, or at least a decent cleaning. No room service to take garbage out and replenish supplies. The laundry room was dirty and smelly from the one microwave oven there. A hostel would offer better conditions... all this for the price of about 300$ AU, for 2 nights.

There is no working WiFi. I know it’s a minor niggle, but if you claim a feature then you must provide it. Little plastic bathroom condiments have gone out of fashion everywhere else - please move to something more eco-friendly. Noisy place with car doors slamming and standing with engines running. No less than 7 cars came/went between 4 and 5am. It’s cheap, but cheap in every sense of the word.

Great location in Apollo Bay. Quiet neighborhood but close to all the stores and restaurants. Loved Apollo Bay and the Great Ocean road. Seals and sting rays in the harbor and a few great fish and chip shops as well as bakeries. The owner was friendly and had good recommendations. Stayed here a second night on the way backed.

A fabulous family owned motel a 5 minute walk to the beach but far enough away you are out of the noise. Motel was tidy and well kept with a lovely family running it. Look forward to booking again in the future.
