Room was clean
Denise
the rooms were very comfortable and clean and the views from the rooms were to die for they were so beautiful.
Melina
Clean room, great ocean views and friendly owners.
Wendy
I loved the ocean view from our room.
Parking was very convenient in front of the room.
This motel is located away from the Main Street so it’s very quiet except for the ocean and birds.

Gary
It was fine, just dated. The price was far too high for this level of property though.
Stephanie
The room was dated and in desperate need of renovation. The bathroom ceiling was mildews, with rotten water damaged plaster and even a few daddy long leg spiders in residence. The toilet leaked and a big puddle developed behind it.
The view was lovely as long as you stood outside on the poorly maintained verandah or sat inside directly infront of the window.
The shower water was hot providing you didn't turn on the cold tap...the bed was extremely comfortable and thats the only reason why it gets 3 stars. Disappointing and probably wouldn't stay there again..

Susan
Helpful friendly staff and our 2 rooms were recently renovated although furniture was a bit tired. Had a nice view but balconies old.Overall the property needed a major external renovation and the garden an overhaul. Overpriced for standard of property compared to others we stayed at during our 4 day road trip.
Hilary
Parking ok. No shops nearby. Nice view.
Alison
Owners were lovely. Great position on outskirts of Apollo Bay , with wonderful views of the sea.

Kirsty
View was great even on ground floor. Loved that the 2 beds were in separate areas of the room. Unit is older than expected but very comfortable. Only down was no dessert/cereal bowls. Travelled during fires so was pleased Hostess stayed in contact with us before we arrived re situation.
Roman
Location is perfect. The hotel needs a renovation. But the room was very clean
Kristy
Clean and comfortable. Good location juat out of town. Great view of the water.
Nella
Place was clean a bit old could do with afreshen up
Tammie
If I could rate it less than 1 star I would. The hotel was dirty, falling apart and had bugs, roaches to be clear. We took pictures. Very disappointing!

Chris

Anthony
Views were great, 5 min walk into town but units were a bit old and tired. Slept like a baby in comfy bed.
Rod
It was surprising to have a good sea view on the ground floor.
Fiona
Beautiful view of ocean from all upstairs rooms. Very clean room. Building could do with some maintenance but other than that, we loved it.
Miguel
Was clean and comfortable. Very reasonable price with amazing views. Could walk to beautiful beach in a few minutes. Host was very friendly. Loved our stay and would come again.
Tolga
Great location, very friendly team, great rates. Ocean views and ocean sounds. Appollo bay is \"The Hidden Gem\" in Victoria for those seeking quite gateway and connection with nature through Apollo Bay beaches & Otway National Park, this neat motel has been our perfect resting spot for the couple of days getaway from Melbourne. Highly recommended.
HOLLY
Cleanliness outstanding!!
Emily
Although the room was quite outdated, it was clean and had everything we needed. The motel is situated on the Great Ocean Rd, close to town and had an incredible view of the ocean!
Chris
Ocean view. Brilliant.
Everything in the room you could want (except a box of tissues). Working heat and cool. Our mattress was a little tired but one night did not cripple my back issues. No noise from the highway which is between the motel and the view.
And well priced for Apollo Bay at the weekend.
Would stay there again.

Anna
I went on a road trip and this property was the most expensive and poorest quality. There is no internet even though advertised differently. Towel rail hanging from wall, chairs old and well used, bottle opener and toaster in the room were both rusted, air con/heating not working, bathroom cupboard very old. shower soap holder used to be chrome, room door lock needs fixing, On a positive area is lovely with sea view, sheets seemed clean and checking out was seamless.
Abi
Very easy to find, good location. Slightly dated but not an issue for a nights stay. Good value for money. Lovely service!
Dave
Great view of the ocean. Comfortable bed. the room was nice on the inside but shabby outside. door lock was loose, plumbing was poor, bathroom fan was filthy.
Jerome
The signs were there when we first drove in. A large empty room was full of used and broken furniture. We were offered a larger room that was dirty, had a balcony door that had a ripped insect screen and was run down. Our second room was no better. The bathroom had black mold throughout, the bedroom wall was caked in dust that looked years old. The TV didn't work and the lock to to the front/sliding door was hanging by one screw. We lasted one night and then left. Whoever rated this hotel needs to revisit it. This place or at least the two room that we saw were in desperate need of renovations. In fact the whole property needs a major make over.
Graeme
Nice spot away from the hustle bustle of the main street
Anna
The view was good. Furniture cheap. Balcony dirty and mouldy. Floors aged
Jenn
It was very overpriced for the facilities. Old and needed a revamp. Out of town.
karen
Great place, very pretty location
Stephen
Nice quiet spot overlooking the ocean
Lorraine
The room we stayed in needed refurbishing badly. I understand that some have been. They had made a real effort in the cleanliness but it was overshadowed because of the general state (needed upgrading) of the room. There was a large wet patch on the carpet, we asked for towels to place over it, which we were bought promptly. We said we did not need to be shifted. There is a severe drought and low water levels in this area so would not have expected lush growth. The grounds were generally tidy. The lady we dealt with was very pleasant and accommodating. The bed needs replacing as well. They have tried hard but the reality is this room is budget accommodation and perhaps that is the price we paid in that area. It was late when we arrived and so little options available.
Leigh

Melissa
The only good thing about this places was the view, the place was very run down and not clean. My husband didn’t shower in our stay because the shower floor was all broken with no grouting and it was filthy. A big disappointment
Bec
Staff were polite and friendly
Sonia
A stay with no frills in this nice motel within walking distance to the town but with a beautiful view on the sea. The room could use a little glow up but for one night is more than enough. Staff friendly at check-in. Would stay here again.
Justin
Great view. Peaceful, friendly staff, lovely to go to sleep with the sound of the ocean in the background.
helene
The property is in a great location for exploring Apollo Bay or stopping over on your journey along the Ocean Road. Located just on the edge of town (5 minutes walk into the main shopping area) the motel is well situated - lots of parking and neat, spotlessly clean, well equipped apartments. We had an upstairs (no lift) apartment with a double and single. Nicely laid out with a shower ensuite and a kettle for making coffee and tea. The welcome at reception was friendly and efficient. The price was very competitive in comparison with other similar looking properties online and was great value for money in a busy time of the year. Would definitely come back.
Catherine
Whilst view was perfect, the whole complex was poorly maintained..doors didn't close properly, screws on balcony were lifting up, curtains need replacing, worn carpet in main entrance to units. Price was exorbitant for property even for a Saturday night.
Naomi
Beautiful views of the ocean. Clean and friendly service.
Paul
Great quiet place with beautiful views close to all amenities. Walking distance to great restaurants. Easy check in and out. Highly recommended.
Verified traveler
Great views!
Perfect place to stay to explore the town. Great view, nice and clean, super friendly and accommodating hosts.
Cherie
Staff very friendly and helpful
Hermina
We had a lovely stay! It was wonderful to find there was a separate room for our girls to sleep in, very easy to make room for our portacot, a carport right in front of our door, our own stairs going up to our room. The tea and coffee tray was fun to use, and the sound of the ocean at night so lovely, and even better the view, at all times of the day and night!
Ian
Didn't need to drive for two days, everything was in walking distance. The views were fantastic.
David
Such welcoming hosts in this traditional country motel.
Tutu
The Motel is clean, very comfy bed and the view is amazing, but they will need to clean up the trees around as they are hitting the building and the roof , we had a very strong winds on first night and we couldn't have much sleep due to the noise of branches hitting very hard the side wall of the building and the roof. Other then that is a great place to stay.
Jennifer
room needed an upgrade, curtains were broken
Alan
Rooms were spacious but in need of some modernisation. WiFi was temperamental and single bed uncomfortable but shower excellent and main bed great.
Tony
We enjoyed our stay.
Nicole
Clean enough but in desperate need of a renovation. I
Scott
Perfect.
MEI
Views from room is good but facilities a bit old
Helen
A somewhat older motel but very clean and comfortable with a lovely view of the ocean. Some mugs for tea and coffee would be welcome instead of the small cups and saucers provided.
David
Great location and good value for money.
The location and view are outstanding, The property is showing its age but the tariff reflects that, and is great value for the price paid. The owners are very friendly and go out of their way to make sure everything is fine for your stay. We are already repeat customers and will be sure to return.
John
Great value for the price.
Understandably slightly outdated but excellent views and position and cost made this motel and stay a very enjoyable holiday.will definitely stay here again.

Jill
Wonderful view from 2nd storey.Room rather dated and neede attentin to details.We didnt meet any staff apart from check in
Betty
Would not and did not stay here!!!
I didn’t stay for even 1 night even tho I booked for 3 nights and it was non refundable. It had a weird vibe and the bed looked like it had an old worn out foam mattress. The curtains were stained and falling apart. So many spider webs in the window and the bathroom was falling apart and the shower was so dark with a ratty plastic shower curtain. I walked to Apollo Bay and found a room in town that was more convenient and comfortable. Left my keys in the return box and called it a lesson learned.
William
Place was out of the way
Had to get cobwebs dusted out of room. Spider webs everwhere

Basic room with poor TV reception. Unfortunately, not enough water pressure to get wet in the shower. We didn’t require much but a shower was impossible. Would not stay again.

There was spider webs seen everywhere and a spider in right top of the bed. Leaking gutters not fixed. It’s pretty average place for that price.
Angus

Motel with a perfect name!
Friendly owners and upstairs room had a little balcony with a 180 degree view of ocean. Quiet and comfortable.

Three of us stayed for two nights in room 5.
Clean room, comfortable beds, carpet not worn. Room size good. Has small sitting area if you want to eat; we sat comfortably. Large windows (can open) for good light.
Combined bathroom/toilet room decent size, not too small. Clean, appears relatively up to date.
A few minor things but nothing serious:
1. Shower looks little dated/tired (tiles/taps). Small vanity unit; benchtop is too small, just a little larger than the basin. Adding shelves in bathroom would be great to increase storage. Adding additional towel rack for 3rd person would be good, too.
2. Power points required at two bedside tables. Only one bedside table had a dbl power point. Minor annoyance when trying to charge multiple devices between three people. There is a dbl power point where the kettle is; was used but generally people like to charge at bedside while sitting up in bed at night.
3. Taps on vanity unit leaking a little and slightly difficult to turn; they require pulling apart and regreasing (I mentioned this to the owners and they'll fix it)
4. Shower taps have a rattle/knock when running water; easily resolved by turning tap either way. Taps need refurbishment as per vanity unit (I mentioned this to the owners and they'll fix it).
5. Water leak; carpet was getting wet directly opposite the shower wall. The single bed is placed in this area. (I mentioned this to the owners).
Minor issues. Will stay again. View of beach as well. Owners friendly.

This place is disgusting. Mould everywhere. Mosquitoes been squashed and left dead all over the walls. Not even habitable. Not sure how they continue to operate. Do NOT book to stay here. It is terrible.
Amanpreet
The property was really clean and the room was really clean. Highly recommended!
Cate
Room was filled with mosquitoes & vinegar flies. Rusty shower head. Just keep driving to another town.
Naila
Good experience. Nice view
Tracey
Amazing owners got a room upgrade, excellent view and close to everything
Shih
Love the frontal view of the beach as we purposely chose the 2nd floor. Could have been better if the room had its own microwave, otherwise, every things is good!
Matthew
Location, size of the room and view were all good. As was the couch, table & chairs and bathroom. The bed was really hard, the milk was out of date in the fridge, the TV was very old (didn't have HD functions) and small (!!), the sliding door to the balcony would not close letting cold air in at night and VERY hard to move. Car parking was extremely tight. It was just tired and in need of some TLC... but the pillows and view were teriffic!
Elizabeth
The view from the balcony was very beautiful! We really enjoyed our night away at this property and the owners were so friendly and helpful. Thanks!
Bonnie
Nice enough … very friendly people .
Alice
Fabulous view, room felt like it needed a good clean
Toni
Easy friendly check in, clean and good facilities. Great view. Good price. Highly recommended.

Don’t Bother
What a terrible place. They rely on the location and view but the standard is the lowest I have seen. First thing we noticed was how dirty the passage and stairs to the room was, lots of leaves and debris. Small room, lots of marks on the walls, stained carpet, no wine glasses in our room even though we saw wine glasses in other rooms through the windows. Wifi was terrible kept dropping out, TV was small and old would not do HD and reception was bad and kept cutting out. Realised in the morning there were no towels, just two hand towels, had to use them to dry us after shower, pathetic that’s basic stuff you expect at a motel. Had to laugh, there was a toaster in the room but no plates or knives. This standard you might expect for $50 a night but not the $180 we paid. Absolutely disgraceful
