Myself and my partner went for two nights in May 2012. We were skeptical as it was cheaper than we thought but what a surprise! When we arrived we were welcomed by the most pleasant owner. He was a delight. Full of helpful information and a thorough map of the local area. Our room was MASSIVE- fair enough the decor... More

What a pleasure to be welcomed! Ideal set up - double downstairs and mezzanine with single and bunks. (They have four of these units, as well as standard configurations) We had a bathtub as well as a shower, another bonus for kids. Otherwise all as expected. No complaints at all, and a fair price in what is an expensive town... More

We stayed overnight in its Family room during the Easter weekend. I thought that it was very decent and spacious for the five of us. I would stay here again next time. We didn't hear our neighbors talking and the receptionist was quite friendly.

I would not recommend this hotel as there are better similar priced hotels in the area. The receptionist was unhelpful and rooms are very dated. The walls were so thin that we couldn't get to sleep for the noise of our neighbour snoring.

Walked in at 5:30pm and they were happy to have us. Little motel with 15 rooms only - a few different configurations. Payed an extra $10 for a room with a spa. Bathrooms are a little dated - but not as much as your usual motel. Very clean, very affordable. Aircon (cooling only) and gas fire in each room, very... More

We were travelling the GOR on our bikes and were very hot and tired so we decided to stay close and have some luxury rather than camp at a caravan park. We were offered special bike parking and were personally shown to our room. Very helpful fella. It was perfect for our needs and was VERY close to the beach... More

Stayed here over Easter break and what a great location. On the main road through Apollo Bay and 5 mins walk to the shops and restaurant. Rooms are fairly clean and quite large. Wifi is not free though and if you get room 1 then you can hear traffic noise from the road,

I was really apprehensive about booking a night here because of the other reviews that I had read on tripadvisor. In one way it may of helped because it was the only motel not fully booked out for such short notice for a public holiday extra long weekend being Easter Monday and Anzac Tuesday. The room was exactly as decribed,... More

For many years I have booked into this motel to attend the Apollo Bay Music Festival. I have done so because it is close to town, relatively cheap and has cooking facilities - I could tolerate the musty smelling room, a leaky bathroom tap and tired & dated finishes because of these benefits. My last visit was very unpleasant and... More
