Very friendly lady at reception (not the owner), showed us two rooms,one upstairs and one downstairs. They are the same, but the view is better upstairs obviously. As the rates are higher too,we took downstairs. Everything very clean,new tv, good heater,though not very sound proof. As the road is very quiet at night,we had a good sleep. And the sunset... More

We spent 2 nights in this hotel and we were quite happy with the accomodation. We had family type accomodation for 4 adults with a bedroom with 2 double beds and then a queen size bed in the main room. There was a a fridge and a dining room table, which suited us just fine as we brought along our... More

Stayed here during the Music Festival, great views of the ocean, relatively expensive but we expect that during the Music Festival. 5-10 min walk to the main street. Room was nice, clean, and good condition. Nothing overly fancy but did the job. Very nice hearing the sounds of the ocean at night time.

Stayed for 2 nights over Easter weekend at a vastly inflated rate (only place with any rooms available). Great view but not much else to recommend, room was tired, damp & musty. Ridiculous charge for wi-fi so used free wi-fi at cafe in Apollo Bay instead. Aviod unless like us, you have no choice.

This was a great stopover for one night, positives were excellent views(we were on the top floor), balcony, easy parking, clean, friendly manager. Negatives were internet access was difficult, we were in a room next to smokers who would smoke on the balcony so we would have to close our door so as to not breathe in the second hand... More

Upstairs room (extra cost) definitely had great views of ocean! Room ok, but tired and in need of maintenance (tear in carpet, bare wires coming out of wall, dirty seal around sink) but otherwise clean. Decor and furnishing in need of modernisation. Back entrance tatty and not very pleasant. Generally ok but overpriced. Charge for wifi which was high. Next... More

I stayed here this weekend, out travelling the Great Ocean Road. Chose on basis of reviews here and the fact it is supposed to be 4 Star. It might be that the rating system in Australia is different to the UK but I have stayed in nicer 3 Star accomodation in the UK. Location - drive to Apollo Bay, drive... More

A great place to stop off. The view from the terrace is great and Apollo bay shops and restaurants are around the corner. Rooms could do with upgrading but are perfectly comfortable.

A Great Ocean View is a popular stopover for people exploring the Great Ocean Route. The main attraction is the wonderful view of the coast, otherwise this is a fairly basic motel. The rooms are spacious and fine for a night or two.
