What guests think

Peterborough House is a small, family-run beachside motel on the Great Ocean Road, noted for clean, modern rooms and a convenient location near the Twelve Apostles, with many appreciating the quiet setting and coastal views.

Guests highlight comfortable beds, quiet rooms, tasteful decor, quality toiletries, and well stocked minibars. Breakfast often earns praise for fresh croissants and good coffee, and many enjoyed tasty dinners on site, though a few mention limited breakfast choices or uneven quality.

Great little family owned hotel. Welcomed by 2 sweet labs in the parking area across from wonderful large beach and incredible sunsets. Perfect breakfast lunch and dinner at their restaurant. Much better than staying in port Campbell-that’s too touristy. We loved staying here in this quite little hamlet right on the Grest ocesn Tx / just perfect!!

Less than 20 minutes away from the 12 Apostles viewing platform. We stayed for its closeness so we can take pictures for sunset and sunrise at the 12 Apostles. The hotel has good choices for dinner, and the kitchen staff even helped to make a very customized breakfast, completely off the menu! Very friendly and helpful staff, they provided sightseeing tips for a couple of less well known local attractions. A great finding for us!

Ok room but some issues. Room clean and bed mostly comfortable. Large room and easy parking. When we arrived bedspread had holes in it and had to be changed. Also “free” breakfast not good at all and rather went elsewhere for breakfast. Had supper there and good, no issues. Probably not stay there again. Overpriced.

The motel is rather simple but it has everything one needs. The breakfast was really delicious (also the flat white!). However it wasn't a buffet, but rather a menu, where you could only choose one option of food and one of beverage. The rooms, specially the carpet, but be a little cleaner. However, we had a nice experience.

The room was good size and equipped with all we needed. If I had known more about the area, I might have chosen a place in Port Campbell instead. The Peterborough House was a very nice stay.

Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit zwei Betten über Expedia gebucht, jedoch nur ein Zimmer mit einem Queenbett erhalten,obwohl wir bei der Buchung explizit einen Twin-Room gebucht hatten. Der Besitzer war sehr unfreundlich und hatte uns die Schuld zuweisen wollen, obwohl wir eine eindeutige Buchungsbestätigung hatten. Der Haushund hatte seine Hinterlassenschaften auf dem allgemein zugänglichen Rasen hinterlassen. Zudem gab es keine Waschmaschine und Trockner auf dem Gelände, wie in der Beschreibung auf der Expedia-Seite ind auf der Webseite der Unterkunft aufgeführt.
