The rooms aren't soundproof. You can hear the people next door talking. Also, some of the other rooms were being painted, so I could hear lots of ladders & other equipment being banged around and painters stomping up & downstairs at 8am. The noise made it difficult to sleep.

For a last minute booking (no research) this place was a pleasant stay. It was very neatly appointed, clean and modern. Bed was very comfy. It was well priced for a coastal stay. Would definitely plan to stay here next time we are in the neighbourhood. I would recommend considering this for your next stay.

We’re warmly welcomed by the reception with highly efficient check-in process. We could park the car in front of the room which was very convenient to us. The room was spacious with one double bed and one single bed. There were electric blankets in addition to split heating/cooling air conditioner providing a comfortable rest. WiFi was stable and reliable at reasonable speed. It’s an excellent stay in Great Ocean Road.

Great place with easy parking at the door and friendly staff. The room was well equipped with smart tv,microwave, toaster, coffee maker and lots of glassware and utensils. I would not recommend to pay more for jet bathtub that is well worn and we did have balcony on ocean drive with outside table and 2 chairs, so you see the ocean only on the sides because in front trees block view.

Easily accessed from Great Ocean Road, located opposite the coast. Property is well maintained & clean, reception staff are friendly and helpful. Room was clean, bed comfortable, bathroom sizeable with good shower and fluffy towels, all required facilities - kettle, toaster, microwave, cutlery & crockery, tv, hairdryer etc.
Just minutes walk away from shops and restaurants, and also beach.

Really impressed with everything about our stay at Waterfront motor inn. We reserved the spa ocean view room and it was amazing! Immaculate and spotless!
The owner was very helpful and paid attention to detail. They left a water bottle and 2 glasses in the refrigerator in advance of our stay.
The bed was very clean and comfortable and the shower had great pressure! If back in Australia we would definitely stay there again!

Convenient stopover

Clean and convenient location for family travel, everything you could expect from a basic motel room but we felt that the room rate that we paid was overpriced. Would definitely do more research for our next visit for properties that match the price range.

Pleasant and comfortable.

A very pleasant motel, but despite proximity to waterfront, our room, and a number of others had no sea view. Those at the front did. Make sure, if it’s important to you to order accordingly.

Otherwise room large, beds comfortable, shower good, loo paper good (not too thin).
