    Location central without being noisy. Staff lovely and very helpful. Newly renovated, spotlessly clean, everything we needed. Would happily come back.

    Bathroom had a hairball on the wall.

    9AdrianPosted on: 12-4-2025

    My room was nice and comfortable, and the motel is in a great location, close to both the stores and the beach.

    The walls are thin, but luckily my neighbors either fell asleep or stopped talking fairly early.

    10BeatrizPosted on: 8-7-2025

    The facilities of the room all very new and very nicely decorated

    Nothing all perfect for the stay in the great oceans road. Very good supermarket near by

    9CindywPosted on: 7-28-2025

    This small motel was in a perfect location right along the main road through Apollo Bay. It was also right across the road from the beach for easy access. The accommodation had everything that we needed for a one-night stay. The kitchen was fairly well appointed for a small hotel, the bathroom had been recently renovated and the beds were comfortable. I would recommend this accommodation..

    We had a hard time getting the temperature of the heater right, so woke up boiling in the middle of the night. We were thankful for the heater, because the evenings were chilly.

    Good comfortable staying. Friendly staff. Easy check in

    10AmandaPosted on: 7-10-2025

    It was very clean and conveniently located. Was great for a family of 5 as often there isn’t enough beds for 5 and one child gets a rollaway or sofa bed. This had three singles and a double.

    LOCATION: 3hrs drive from Melbourne. Motel is situated in front of the beach and has beach access. Very good location as it is a 2mins. walk from the shops (IGA & Foodworks), restaurants, bistro, surf & tackle shops. It's situated in a tourist area but very quiet. It's an hour and 20mins drive to the 12 Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge. 5 mins away from Mariners Lookout where you can see the whole Apollo Bay from the top.HOTEL: I am very surprised with the room. It has everything we need: VEEEERY comfortable beds, microwave, water kettle, toaster, complete utensils, plates, bowls, glasses, heater/AC, decent size fridge, tv, airer to dry your clothes, hangers, iron, toiletries, towels, hair dryer, extra pillows and blanket. Room size is more than enough for us. We travel as a couple so I can only rate the king room we had and it was more than enough. I did have a peek on the other rooms that caters to groups, it has loft beds for family of 3 or 5 with complete dining area and a living room. You get your own assigned parking space just outside your door. Bathroom is decent size and very clean. Staff are very pleasant and keep to themselves. Price is cheaper compared to neighbouring motels. Very quiet, very safe, very comfortable. I enjoyed everything!

    I didn't like that I couldn't take the king size bed home with me :(
