Convenient stopover

Clean and convenient location for family travel, everything you could expect from a basic motel room but we felt that the room rate that we paid was overpriced. Would definitely do more research for our next visit for properties that match the price range.

Pleasant and comfortable.

A very pleasant motel, but despite proximity to waterfront, our room, and a number of others had no sea view. Those at the front did. Make sure, if it’s important to you to order accordingly. Otherwise room large, beds comfortable, shower good, loo paper good (not too thin).

This was the only night on out 6 day Great Ocean Road Trip where we were disappointed. We had a 2 bedroom Villa and whilst it was clean and comfortable there was no room to swing a mouse in let alone a cat. It reminded me of a caravan. We were 4 adults with 4 large suitcases and hand luggage and this was spread out over the entire lounge floor. Thankfully only 1 night here. Apollo Bay as a resort wasn’t the best and after passing through Lorne earlier in the day, we wished we had stayed there instead. Overall it was ok, just not suitable for 4 adults.

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.
