If you are travelling on the Great Ocean Road there is so much to see and do, and spending all of your time in a hotel room is not high on the priority list. If you are after a clean room, sets within minutes of walking to not only the many cafes and restaurants, but also across the road from... More

My husband and I stayed at the Southern Ocean Motor Inn recently, it was a 35 degree day and to our horror, the motel does not have an air conditioner! The room was like an oven. Nothing was plugged in, i.e. the bedside lamps, minibar etc. The bed cover was old and dirty, we even found plastic wrappers on the... More

We have only recently become aware of your review and would like to respond. We are certainly sorry that you were not happy with your stay with us. We note your comments about the 35 degree heat at the time of your stay. In fact, at that time we had a run of 4 or 5 days where the temperature... More

Friendly service, great location with beautiful ocean view, convenient car parking and clean linens made our ( my husband and I) accommodation enjoyable yet it was a very busy weekend so other guests were noisy around our room. It's not a luxury room but it is clean enough to feel comfortable.

We travelled with our adult grandchildren and needed 2 bedrooms and this was perfect. 2 communicating rooms sharing a bathroom. It may be a bit dated but was very clean with comfortable beds. You could walk to the village center for a variety of good dining venues. Check-in was fast and efficient.

Was attracted to this motel as right opposite the harbour and a block away from the shops. Room was a good size although a bit dated in its decor. Check in was efficient. TV was old style - time to upgrade to a flat screen!

We arrived in Port Campbell without having booked accommodation. The lady at reception was helpful in finding a room for us. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The hotel is located right within Port Campbell and an easy walk to restaurants and shops. A comfortable place to stay during your drive along the Great Ocean Road.

The worst night of our trip in Australia. Service was awful, room was not comfortable, other customers were noisy around our room, and above all the town of Port Campbell is not interesting at all.

Our "average" rating is pretty accurate. The inn has a great location in Port Campbell, next to the beach, and 2min walk to all restaurants & bars. Our room was very quiet, had a nice Jacuzzi tub, coffee/tea, fridge, etc. Room cleanliness & updating were truly average, frankly an update is needed soon, the linens were clean and nice. Staff...

When we arrived reception was closed with a number on it to call, as we only had our New Zealand phones we decided to try to find someone. We found some cleaners who told us to call the number, not helpful. Then the owner turned up and sorted us out with our room. The room was in a very tired... More
