The room was nice with newer carpet and furnishings. The shower caddy should be replaced and new soap dispenser. We had to wash the dishes that we used but there isn't a sink. We used the bathroom sink but I don’t think that is hygienic.

We got in after 8pm as we saw the Apostles at sunset. Love that you walk out of the motel and get the sea view of the cove and beach. It is walking distance to the cafe and eateries from the motel. The town was rather quiet except for road works happening on the main road at the time we were there. The room was comfortable and basic with a small kitchenet and microwave to heat up food and the beds are comfortable. The only thing wrong is the cracked basin in the bathroom. Although functional, we feel it should be replaced for hygiene and aesthetic reasons. We had one night but could have stayed 2 as there were much to explore in the area.

We absolutely loved our stay. It was the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate post Great Ocean Walk. The accomodation was clean and spacious. We reported one little issue (nothing we were overly concerned about) and it was fixed when we returned later that evening by friendly staff. Thank you … we look forward to returning and will recommend to friends and family for sure.

Very disappointing

Very disappointing for the price. We paid for a sea view and were given a room with a partial seaview and the stairwell. The place is really tired and the carpet is not clean. Only one pillow was supplied. You are supposed the wash up all your plates etc but you need to use the bathroom sink and the cloth provided was dirty. Port Campbell is a building site as the whole of the high street under renovation. I am sure will be lovely once done but not at the moment.

A fantastic location. The room was spacious and comfortable. If you left the window open you could hear the waves gently lapping. The receptionist was delightful. A lovely place to stay.

very good view with the sea, right in front of a small bay, suitable for swimming. We had 3 people, however, the room is small, and only supplies one mini shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and milk, even we asked for extra, just add one milk. The water from shower head dispersive and the shower head is immovable. There are no parking lines in the yard.

This perfectly located motel has views of Port Campbell inlet from all rooms and is directly across the road from this beautiful swimming beach, jetty and grassed areas. Accomodation provides comfortable bed, simple clean bathroom and tea/ coffee facilities. That is all you need as this picturesque location is for outside swimming, hiking and short drives to the viewing highlights of The Great Ocean Road. Short stroll to excellent dining options.
