The property is in a great location for exploring Apollo Bay or stopping over on your journey along the Ocean Road. Located just on the edge of town (5 minutes walk into the main shopping area) the motel is well situated - lots of parking and neat, spotlessly clean, well equipped apartments. We had an upstairs (no lift) apartment with a double and single. Nicely laid out with a shower ensuite and a kettle for making coffee and tea. The welcome at reception was friendly and efficient. The price was very competitive in comparison with other similar looking properties online and was great value for money in a busy time of the year. Would definitely come back.

The Motel is clean, very comfy bed and the view is amazing, but they will need to clean up the trees around as they are hitting the building and the roof , we had a very strong winds on first night and we couldn't have much sleep due to the noise of branches hitting very hard the side wall of the building and the roof. Other then that is a great place to stay.

A somewhat older motel but very clean and comfortable with a lovely view of the ocean. Some mugs for tea and coffee would be welcome instead of the small cups and saucers provided.

Great location and good value for money.
The location and view are outstanding, The property is showing its age but the tariff reflects that, and is great value for the price paid. The owners are very friendly and go out of their way to make sure everything is fine for your stay. We are already repeat customers and will be sure to return.

Would not and did not stay here!!!
I didn’t stay for even 1 night even tho I booked for 3 nights and it was non refundable. It had a weird vibe and the bed looked like it had an old worn out foam mattress. The curtains were stained and falling apart. So many spider webs in the window and the bathroom was falling apart and the shower was so dark with a ratty plastic shower curtain. I walked to Apollo Bay and found a room in town that was more convenient and comfortable. Left my keys in the return box and called it a lesson learned.
