This is a convenient and well-appointed place to stop along the Great Ocean Road. It's a short, easy walk to restaurants, shops, and the beach. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and well stocked with supplies that many other hotels skimp on these days, such as a toaster, dishes, tea and coffee, and individual shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in biodegradable packaging. On the downside, the carpet seemed a bit damp all over, as if it had been shampooed and was not quite dry yet. There was also a smell of fish cooking from a Chinese restaurant in the same building. But these were not major hardships. It is a bit of a strange building for a motel because there is no entrance off the main street and no reception office on site. You enter from the back parking lot and pick up a key in an envelope with your name written on. I can't rate the staff or service highly because there was no one there to rate. That said, we had no problem with check in, and we appreciated being able to arrive any time we wanted rather than having to be there by 5:00 or 6:00. International travelers can use WhatsApp to receive notifications and contact staff if needed at this property. It is by no means luxury accommodations, but it's a decent, affordable place to stay on a road trip.

The location was very convenient. The self check in and out process was super easy. But for a property this expensive, the room was very small and there was no reception or staff around. Not worth the cost in my opinion.

Great Location
Great location and property. It is excellent value for the time of year and is close to everything. The shower wasn't the best, but overall, I was very happy with the property.
