Location is perfect - on the main strip of Apollo Bay. Spacious clean rooms with comfy bed, well stocked kitchenette ( toaster, kettle, wine glasses, water jug etc....) and bathrooms with all the amenites. We added an extra bed for the twin room - and were pleasantly surprised that it was a good quality single bed (not the foldable type... More

Found managers very helpful. They let us check in early as we caught the bus down from Geelong. We chose this motel as it's all on ground level and the bathrooms have a shower recess. The rooms are spotless and comfy. We stay every year and love it's close access to the bus stop, beach & shops. We highly recommend... More

When I did the check in at the hotel, the owner asked me to sign off a "contract" where, according to him, was just saying that I had to... More

Another warm welcome and a good night's sleep. On main street close to shops and restaurants. Price was reduced by 10% because I'd joined Golden Chain after staying in another of their motels. A good centre for the Great Ocean Road. Well worth the drive.

We stayed here over Easter and, as with most hotels in Australia, the price was raised very high for the period. The motel is well located for walking around town, (but if you have a car, any hotel in the area would be fine) and all restaurants and shops are near. Indeed, there is a large supermarket (Food Works) just... More

Stayed two nights during our drive along the GOR. Very friendly and helpful owners. Room was clean and comfortable. We had breakfast in the room but ate out in the evening. My only issue was not with the room itself but with the people in the room next door who stood outside talking and smoking all evening, the smoke came... More

Effortless check-in and a pleasure to find clean, convenient and comfort and comfortable accommodation. We were a little late arriving after stopping take take in many of the beautiful sights along the way, but this was no trouble. The room had everything we needed and the owners pointed us in the right direction for a delicious pizza. Everything in walking... More

We stayed here for one night, when driving the Great Ocean Road. The motel is conveniently located on the waterfront, right on the GOR and close to restaurants and shops. Our room was well appointed and spacious, with a comfortable bed and kitchen facilities. Would stay here again.

can only agree with what has been said. great place for a stop-over and in hindsight i'd even spend an additional night. everything within walking distance, including some really great caffes/restaurants (provided you like fish/seafood). + clean, spacious room + very well equipped + great location and parking + friendly, efficient staff - internet through 3rd party provider
