Larry
Good value for the price.
Corina
Everything was close. Even walking to the beach was great. Super friendly and helpful staff
Emily
Very comfortable rooms, good hot water service. Professionally cleaned rooms. Staff were welcoming and accomadating. The location is also close to beach and a short trip to Apollo Bay. Would recomend.
Graham
Unit clean, good value for price, bed comfortable.
Katharine
Perfectly adequate for our needs
Jovanka
Perfect for our 1 night stay. Bed was comfy. Hot tub was only anout 85 degrees F though. Room only had 2 towels for pool and bathing. Appears they are fixing up place though.
Graham
Room very clean, staff good ,
Greg
Bed was as hard as a brick. Very uncomfortable.
Kalvin
Great location for us and very nice people running the Motel. Very helpful. Hotel room door is old and does not seal around the bottom so critters, noise and weather can get in. Also the pool area needs upkeep. But it was good price and conveniently located.
Diane
Our room had everything we needed!
julie
Yes
Teja
very near to beached yet affordable
Farhad
Smelly pillows
Marina
The room was clean enough. I was disappointed in the pool area. It was not particularly inviting to go in for a swim but not a big deal. It’s a plain and simple motel if you need somewhere to stay for the night. You’re not getting Big 4 or Discovery quality but it was clean.
David
Fully equiped and convenient.
Queen bed was possibly just a double only. Seemed smaller than my queen size bed at home.

Fatima
Every thing was amazing
Frank
A bit dated but very clean and comfortable, friendly staff.
Robert
Communication should be improved. The receptionist on the desk was excellent, room was good but ideally the room was better for a family and not four adults.
There was a problem with the booking and communication would have avoided this.

Very clean, bathroom adequate and clean. It is a basic motel, clean and quiet. Room facilities all worked, what more could you want?
Ishrath
The property is well maintained and very clean.
Ethan
My partner and I had a lovely stay at Motel Marengo. It was just outside of Apollo Bay so we avoided all the hussle and bussle and the room was spacious, clean and all we needed for a nights stay. Would stay again.
Kylie
The rooms were very clean and the staff accommodating. Very basic amenities which for an overnight stay is fine.
Overall a good experience and would stay there again.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND
EXTREMELY OVERPRICED AND RUNDOWN!!! Save your money and look elsewhere. Mold in bathroom, stains on bedding, peeling paint, worn out towels. Bathroom smells bad. Who puts clean dishes under a sink where cleaning supplies go? Nasty. Didn’t drink the water. Didn’t shower. Didn’t unpack. Literally slept and left. The pool is probably a health hazard…you can’t see the bottom of it! Pictures are not accurate, so here are some that are current and reflect the hotel in its present state. March 2025.
Check in went like this…. “Name? You are in room—. The key is under the doormat. Check out is by 10:00. Leave the key in the drop box.” Several signs in the property to NOT do this or that. They will charge you if you ignore the signs. Not exactly a friendly or welcoming conversation or place to stay.

Travelling South
Quiet, comfortable and clean. We were not expecting an apartment so that was a nice surprise. Easy 5 min drive to Apollo Bay.
Penny
Marengo motel
Nice people- Small, adequate roadside motel with necessary basics & up the hill from the seashore and dining in Apollo Bay. Though we used the spa, we were not sure the chemicals were balanced in it or the pool. They had to turn on the heat for the spa and wait 2 hrs when we asked about using it. We book places w spa/pool and use them. They should be ready to use and well maintained if they are going to advertise them for people looking to reserve. Enjoyed playing in nearby tide pools at low tide upon our arrival!
Ruth
This out 3rd stay over many years at Motel Marengo.
It is always clean and the staff have always been helpful.
It is well situated, in that it is close to Apollo Bay and the Otways and only a couple of hours from the 12 Apostles. Perfect for a short break.

Catherine
Reasonably priced, spacious and had a kitchenette, which was very useful.
theresa
Value for money for being so close to Apollo Bay
Ronald
This place was dirty and the bed sheets were stained as were the pillows and hand towels also the photos of the property must have been taken 10 years ago it was that bad that we didn’t even stay and done our money cold I don’t know who’s been doing the reviews on this place but they were definitely delusional I would give this place a big miss
Reception also didn’t want any IID which I thought was strange

Mohammad Wasel
One of the best motels we have ever been. The reception and management were most friendly and kind. Very generous. The pool and spa was amazing, and just a walking distance from the beach. Things that can improve is clothing line (possibly?), refill toilet papers esp for long staying guests, uncover the spa during the opening hours.
Andrew
Clean rooms, we only stayed the one night, price was good compared to other options. For someone on a budget id recommend ☺️
kalju
Good motel
Rajpreet
We had great experience with hotel Marengo
Everything was outstanding beyond our expectations. Views, cleaning & environment was just awesome
Will book same again in future too.

Nabila
The bedroom layout for 4 people is quite ideal, because it has separate rooms at the back and with spacious dining area in the middle
Tony
property is very close to Marengo beach - just a 5 minute walk
Chawalit
Stayed there for a night. We couldn’t sleep well as it was quite noisy. The WIFI signal was not reliable.
Michael
Spacious units, only a short walk from Marengo beach and a couple of minutes drive to Apollo Bay.
Nikka
We had a good stay
Jodie
Was convenient for our great ocean road drive and the kids enjoyed the pool. Comfortable and clean.
Vanessa
Quiet good location close to shops and restaurants.
Emily
Good size rooms, family friendly, convenient parking.
CHUNMING
Clean and tidy
Terrence
For the price, the room was very basic. On the plus side, there were heating pads for the beds and the staff friendly. The bathroom was small with an open window section for ventilation - which made it very cold (we were there in the late winter).
Richelle
Close to main town, lovely updated room and amenities.
Colin
Good rooms and quiet
Hakan
Friendly stuff, convinent location will recommend
Jasmin
No staff onsite which was fine, the room key was under the door mat. The room was tidy but had quite a few ants. The main downside is that you can hear the neighbouring rooms talking, using the microwave, watching tv etc. so wasn't the best sleep.
Yi
The best budget option in the area with all neccessaries.
Thomas
Booked a stay during the middle of June for work. Room was decent overall but the lack of some soundproofing did hampen the evening. Will definitely return again.
Melissa
Quick check in and check out with is great. Okay accommodation if on budget. Location was good. Close to Apollo Bay main street with all the restaurants. Room was spacious and heating was very good and quiet. Room was outdated, could use immediate improvements such as sealing of doors and windows to stop heating from escaping. There were obvious gaps in the front door and also in our bathroom window so we had to keep heater on. Investing in sealing these holes would save the motel in the long run. Also the drinking glasses were dirty as well with finger prints and smudges.
Tracey
The beds were very comfortable, and everything was extremely clean. The shower was fantastic with great pressure and heaps of hot water. For basic accommodation, it was far better than we were expecting. We would happily stay again.
Joan
Falsey advertised, a bit of a wall and sliding door added to a normal motel room doesn't make it a 2 bedroom unit.
Sparrow Timothy
Great option for a short stay. Easy parking and convenient access to The Otways, it was just what we needed on our road trip. There are no dining facilities, but Apollo Bay is just 5 mins drive and has plenty of options (check out Little Crumb Bakery for the best breakfast you have had in a long while!). Beds were comfortable and the room was warm, with plenty of hot water for showers. A fridge with freezer section was handy to keep the ice blocks frozen overnight for our chilly bin. We didn't use much else as we were up and out fairly early and back late in the evening. Would highly recommend this as a place to stay if you are visiting The Otways.
Sheila
This property was easy to find and the check in process was super smooth. This is a very short distance from Apollo Bay and a bit cheaper than properties in AB. It was perfect for our needs.
Amiel
It's clean and the surrounding is quiet.
Wendy
Girls in office were lovely. Overall our room was clean. Very disappointed in the shower condition. The shower base needs attention and under the shower screen where it meets the base in the corner was rotting and it appeared to be mouldy.

Basic accommodation
Very basic accommodation.
We loved Marengo, but not so much the Marengo hotel.
Needs updating - compared to what we’ve stayed in on our trip on the Great Ocean Road. Extremely thin walls and very noisy.

Good value, location good. Clean room.
Just one complaint, it would be nice if there was a sharp knife with the rest of the cutlery in room 3

Where do I begin?
Got into the room which stank of takeaway food which it did for quite some time. The pool was dirty with sand in the bottom of it (no it doesn’t happen in a matter of hours - it’s not been cleaned for days). The spa had scum on the surface - only really noticed this once in it and then had itchy skin later on because of it.
Pulled the sheets back on the main bed to find quite a bit of skin, dirt and hairs from the previous occupant. Called the Manager who told me that the sheets had been changed each day and sometimes hairs get stuck in cracks! Told him that was not true as the hair and dirt were on top of the sheets under the cover , and this is unacceptable . Told me again the sheets had been changed and for my peace of mind the sheets would be changed again for me. Nothing but excuses. A noisy motel (slamming doors and bathroom utilities) on a noisy highway!
Apart from this generally tidy, but better off spending a little bit more for a much better room at a different hotel/motel.

Jennifer
Good management
Norman
I have stayed there before and I will stay there again when I am in the area. I would recommend.
Simon
The room was modern and clean, the bed was comfortable and the TV and split system all worked as they should. A short drive to the Apollo Bay shopping strip.
Peter
Value for money is great. The unit was spacious enough and had a kitchenette. We were there in winter and the pool was great for a cold water plunge. Most places with an outdoor pool don't maintain them over the colder months, but they kept the filtration pump going so the water was clean. The motel is a stones throw away from the Great Ocean Walk. I highly recommend this.
Lisa
Bathroom very outdated and small for a family for the price. The bathroom door squeaked and heated blankets on kids bed’s didn’t work. Not the cleanest, My daughter was playing and found an empty wine bottle under the bed which was a bit concerning! For the price it seemed a bit outdated and didn’t deliver.
Rowena
Particularly liked how helpful the staff were, we had a mistake in our booking (our fault) and they helped us rectify it straight away.
Lovely stay.

Other than it was a little dated it is good place to stay. Staff are accommodating and cater for your needs. We did not use the pool due to weather but it's a nice feature.

Tong
Nice and cosy little place with a pool
Great little place. Has everything that you need. Great and friendly host. We loved the pool. Thank you for a great stay! Even though it was just overnight
Samer
The carpet is misty and smelly. I checked in late. As soon as i checked in I got a text when to check out in the morning giving no minutes after 10 bcz of the cleaners coming. The carpet was misty and very smelly. I texted the manager back with no response. Told the cleaners in the morning and she said she can’t smell it.
Overall not worth even half the price.

Quite place to stay. The Room we stayed in has been updated a bit but bathroom a bit small. But most of all the price was right. Short drive to Apollo Bay.
Elena
Wonderful location. Very clean and cosy.
Barry
Good
The motel was clean and comfortable for an overnight stay. The location was quiet and very close to the beach. There was a pool and a BBQ area though we didn't make use of them. The motel room had everything you needed for an overnight stay. We would come back in similar circumstances.
Sally
Loved being able to hear the ocean in the distant background. Comfortable, good size room.
Jatinder
Clean room and everything neat and tidy
Ian
Would have liked a small table & chair outside the front of the room.
KUMAR
Just off Great ocean and walk
Sarath
Pictures showing in the web site is too different to real place. Not worth for the money paid.
Donna
Handy to everything
Janice
Suited what we needed which was to sleep and shower, pretty small considering it slept 5. Only had a bar fridge which really wasn’t big enough and there was only 2 of us. Not super clean, lots of crap on the floor under the bed, plus someone’s glasses left behind. If it was cleaned properly surely they would have seen them like we did. Beds were ok but moved getting in and out. No couch in lounge room, a bed instead. Dishes in kitchen were all dirty, required washing before using.
Des
We enjoyed the pool and spa and customer service was good but bathroom and kitchen facilities require attention. Overall enjoyed our stay.
