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.

Great location !!

The perfect spot to stay while exploring the amazing coastline and 12 Apostles. Walk to everything you need. Clean & comfortable. EV destination charger available (only one though and 3 Teslas were staying the night so maybe an extra charger needed). Would stay here again.

As advertised. Room was clean and has everything you need. Food options are walkable. Just right off the bay but can't see from room. My room was a little drafty as the door has no weather seal. Had to improvised one of the towels. Overall a nice experience

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.

Great location in Port Campbell. Staff at Reception was lovely and helpful. Found the layout of the bathroom was not great - towel holders/hooks were not accessible from the shower. Light switch outside bathroom so light disturbed anyone in room during the night.
