The bathroom is not clean and there are lots of black mold on the walls inside the shower. No service since reception is closed from 6:00 pm to 9:00 am. The room door will be left open if arriving after 6:00 pm. Most stores close around 3 or 4 pm and restaurants close around 7:00 or 8:00pm. Not worth US$170/night.

The property is well located but is truly right on the Great Ocean Road. Very quiet at night and great views from the 2nd story balcony. You are close enough to the ocean to hear the waves breaking at night. Would recommend to travelers on the Great Ocean Road. Also - dining at Graze in town was fabulous 👍

This was perfect for our family getaway. The location was great; it was within walking distance of restaurants and the beach. Our stay was perfect, the kids had one room, and we had the other. Small kitchen, table and lounge.
