Clean, functional and well-located property opposite water. Ocean view rooms had a nice outlook over the water and a small balcony to take in the view. Bed was very comfortable though like most accommodation suggest you bring your own pillow if possible.

Our room (#14) was very nice, modern, and comfortable. Although it was well cleaned, there were some small ants around, I even found a few in my luggage. There was road construction in front of the hotel which made it hard to figure out how to access the property when we arrived (no instructions were provided). Overall, we had a good stay.

Outstanding service, beautifully appointed room! Spacious, great view and excellent design. Very clean! Would recommend this hotel VERY highly, it really surpassed our expectations. Two possible improvements. The room we stayed in needed one more lamp - it was quite dark inside after sunset unless you turned on the glary overhead fluorescent. Maybe a floor lamp near the window? Second, the bathroom floor was sticky when dry but slippery when wet, which tells me that they are doing a thorough soapy cleaning (great!) but not doing a complete rinse.

We enjoyed our stay here. Checking in and out was a breeze. Room was bigger than we expected. It was clean and smelled fresh. Bathroom in our room was modern and clean. Very close to the towns amenities with pretty much anything that you needed was not much more than 50 metres away. Probably the only downside was the kitchen area is a bit too small. I'd stay there again if I was around that area again.

We had a lovely room (18) with a balcony looking over Port Campbell and towards the sea and river inlet. The room was very clean and spacious with a comfortable bed plus a couch for relaxing or watching the television. We stayed for three nights and managed to fend for ourselves with the microwave and toaster, the fridge proved very useful too. The shower was excellent but a shelf in the bathroom would have been handy. We managed with the wardrobe and large drawer but we do find bedside cabinets useful for storage of specs, keys, wallet etc. The table and chairs on the balcony were very appreciated especially having breakfast there then having a glass of wine and nibbles early evening. We have no problems recommending this motel very handily placed in the town.

What a lovely little place. We got a room which overlooked the sea which was fabulous. The whole place was impeccable clean and tidy and a great location for my 8 year old son to pop and play on the beach. Shop across the road had everything you could need and we ate at the hotel up the road (as recommended by the owner) and it was great. It was quiet in the evening and had comfortable beds. Would highly recommend and if we every come back would stay.

Lovely motel right in the middle of town. Easy walk to grocery store and restaurants, and short walk up the hill to the lookout and war memorial. Less than 15 minutes from all of the beautiful Great Ocean Road spots such as Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, London Bridge and the Grotto. Everything was clean and the room was a good size. Easy check in/checkout and staff were very responsive to a small issue we had with the wate when we arrived.

This property was basic but a great location. I couldn't get through as we were going to be late checking in so was a little stressed, however they left the key in the door for us with a sign at reception so all was good. We arrived late and all the restaurants kitchen close by 8, so make alternate arrangements if coming late as nothing will be open.

Troy was the friendly gentleman who greeted us in our car upon arrival, directed us to our room and suggested the local hotel for dinner. We got a surprise room upgrade too; extremely grateful for the balcony with ocean view. The suite was huuuge and super clean with more than adequate kitchen facilities. Bathroom was modern, and the couch & beds were super comfy! Location was so central on the Main Street, walking distance to beach, pub, grocery store & cafe. We wished we could’ve stayed longer than one night, especially our 10 year old who rated the WIFI very highly! We’ll definitely stay here again! Thanks Troy for making our stay very enjoyable.
