The room was nice for a one night stay. It had a toaster and rice cooker in the room with a few dishes. Our room had 2 beds for 3 plus a couch. It was right across from the water, there was a BBQ available for use, and a short walk to all the restaurants and grocery store in town. We would stay again!

Reception staff were wonderful. Howeve, and I realise it was a long weekend but for $300/ night for a queen bed was pretty over the top. No servicing of the room (we stayed 3 nights), door lock chain was broken, bathroom amenities were a joke at this price (one soap and two very small tubes of stuff)- most motels have shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower. We had to remove our rubbish and wash our dishes (in the bathroom sink). One sheet of tissue paper. I realise that this motel caters for overseas tourists (evident by the rice cooker as part of the cutlery equipment), but you need to lift your game.

Location to the beach was great, the room was okay, could have been cleaner with dead flies on the windowsill which should be cleaned up. Also, no toaster in room which they quickly fixed.
We were in the family room, throughout the night there was a pump or something that kept starting/stopping which wasn't great. Otherwise the room was great for the family of 4

Room not as expected. No table, no luggage rack. The lock on the door was just a chain lock. Would have had to move the couch to shut the window so it stayed open the whole time. Towels not fresh smelling. Bathroom fan needs vacuuming. Should vacuum under couch cushions- found a dirty comb there and lots of dirt. Reception listened politely when I said the room wasn’t as expected and told me I should have scrolled down when booking. I gave a 3 rating because the place had parking and clean sheets on the bed.

Stayed in Unit 22. The outside air handling unit behind the main bedroom made ridiculously loud noises most of the night. It’s clearly in very poor condition. Hardly slept a wink. This can’t be the first time a guest has raised. Needs seen to urgently. Not a positive experience, in particular given the nightly cost.

The accommodation benefits greatly from its convenient location, which was the highlight of our stay. However, this positive aspect was somewhat overshadowed by issues with the air conditioning, as well as concerns regarding the cleanliness and an unpleasant odour in the room. While the location is ideal, these areas require attention to enhance the overall guest experience.

Air conditioning was on preset timer which we could not change. Therefore, it turned frequently every few minutes. The hot water temperature may not have been controlled. We feel the water was too hot & someone, especially kids could get easily burnt. We have advised this to the manager during check out. Staff were friendly and very helpful.

Overall, good accomodation having a family room which gave plenty of space, was reasonably modern and presented well. Unfortunately the overall experience was marred by a shower head that was broken, not giving a constant flow of water.

We had to park on the street as the motel car park was full (including the spot in front of our room). The hot water system from next door kept making a constant loud banging noise which got quite annoying by the end of the night and trying to sleep. The room was comfortable and clean, kitchen had everything we needed, tea/coffee/sugar/milk provided, beds were comfortable.

Great location! I would highly recommend booking the ocean view rooms (we were only staying one night so we booked a motel room) so glad we stayed in Port Campbell - it’s a stunning, quaint town! Walking distance to everything! Our bathroom window wouldn’t close (broken) so a bit chilly when we were showering and the bedroom aircon (on warm) didn’t work. Other than that, we would stay again!

Quiet, comfortable and great location

Stayed in one of the villas so cannot comment on the rest of the room types. Spotlessly clean and beds comfortable. In a great location too. The only downside was the unit was a little cold. Perfect for an overnight after a long day exploring the Great Ocean Road. Would stay again and highly recommended.

Beautiful location. The room was nice and the kitchen items are great.

One small thing: they require you to take out your own trash at the end of your stay. This is highly unusual for a hotel. It's not an Airbnb and this should not be expected.

Very happy with the property- located next to the beach, walking distance to shops/eateries, clean and room well equipped. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is the toilet ventilation fan is too strong, making the toilet freezing cold. Otherwise, excellent place to stay in Port Campbell.

Southern Ocean Motor Inn 1 night stay

Location is good situated around amenities. But room smells dampy, quite a number of house flies. This is a 3 star hotel equivalent but quite pricey. Thank goodness I only stay for 1 night only.
