“Scary! Keep driving!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Was looking for a nice couple of nights away. didnt want to spend too much as i would spend the days out driving.

when my sister and i (2 girls 24 and under) arrived i couldnt find the check in. it was located in the restuarant. friendly staff, but the whole hote and restuarant looked really bad.

I was very very tempted to lose my $130 a night and go up the road to a better hotel.

we walk in to find a bed in a shoe box! Very very small, tv didnt work. the room is very old but clean. The thin zebra pattern was disgusting and we slept in just out clothes.

i didnt feel safe, the whole floor moves when someone walks in the hall way and you can hear absolutely everything!

I will never stay here again!!

Disorganised but clean and nice little room. Good location in Apollo Bay and for a stopover on Great Ocean Road. Kettle, TV and fridge in room. Would stop again.

$75 per night via wotif.com

“Filthy”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2011

Myself and a friend stayed here during winter... Definitely not the ideal place for two young girls might I add. Rooms were icy cold, 1 THIN blanket and 1 sheet where provided, we had to sleep fully clothed. We were provided with a small heater which hardly worked! The motel itself is located above a restaurant an the entry an exit is just creepy.. We were woken up to a very loud screeching of one of the neighboring rooms showers bright an early!! The room was only $70 but the least we could have expected was a TV remote or extra pillow or blanket....


Overall not a great experience. BUT we got the best room in the place (number 5) which had an ocean view, but that still didn't make up for the rest of our stay.

You get what you pay for. We paid $100 for three. It was clean and basic and exactly what we expected. It gets 4 stars because I left my jacket at there and they kindly put in in the post for me. Brilliant!

“Don't Bother!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2011

This place was smelt of toilets from the moment we arrived, it permeated your clothes, horrible! The air conditioner didn't work, there was a paper clip to operate the venitian blind, the floodlight outside the room stayed on all night - may as well has been day time as the blind didn't block the light at all.
