Beachfront Motel

What guests think

Across many reviews, Beachfront Motel is praised for its central, beachside setting and roomy accommodation, though the overall offering is simple and check-in is often straightforward but primarily managed remotely.

In-room kitchenettes and large TVs are common, parking is right outside but can be tight, and some mention heating or air conditioning that struggles or runs loudly. Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many found rooms spotless, while several report lapses such as stained linen, mold, dust and cobwebs, or incomplete servicing. Expect a straightforward, no-frills stopover.

We loved this property - easy to find and in a great location. Sheltered parking space right outside the door of our room. A few minutes walk from the shops, restaurants and beach. The room itself was beautifully clean and had everything needed for our stay. Easy check-in and out with friendly, welcoming staff. We would recommend this property.

When we were to check in the beds were made up but neither the sheets nor the pillow cases had been replaced and their were stains on the sheet and pubic hairs. We contacted the manager who was off site and showed him and he said he understood why we would not stay and he would refund the money. We contacted Whatif after much difficulty with the website and finally advised we wanted a refund and this was agreed. However, this has not happened and we have a debit against our account and no refund. We stayed at another location that night.

I frequently stay at Apollo bay for work and wanted to try a new hotel. After accidentally booking the wrong dates, l was unable to change the date, or receive a refund. If they were to simply meet the request, l might have continued to stay in the future. Poor customer service means l'll stay at other motels in the future.

Great location in town across the road from beach and information centre. Walking distance to food and entertainment. Room had a small eating area with separate sink and microwave (this was especially handy to warm up baby food and wash up after). Room was warm enough with aircon. Additional towels provided. Only negative was the comfort of the bed- If this had a more comfortable bed I would have given 5 Stars.

Apollo Way war ein toller Zwischenstopp auf meinem Road-Trip von Adelaide nach Melbourne. Und das Beachfront Motel perfekt für eine Nacht. Einmal über die Straße, schon war man am Strand. In unmittelbarer Nähe befinden sich Supermärkte, eine Tankstelle und zahlreiche Cafés und Restaurants. Die Unterkunft bot alles, was es brauchte. Das Auto konnte ich direkt vor der Tür zum Zimmer abstellen.
