Hi olmate, Thank you for your review of our motel. Best Western has absolutely nothing to do with the Star Rating of a property. This is independently carried out by AAA Tourism on behalf of the motoring bodies. Our assessment by them was done in March this year & we maintained our 3.5 star rating. We know we have an... More

We arrived on a squally wet afternoon, something not unusual for Robe we believe. The manager was friendly and amusing and suggested a DVD from his library as a good way to spend a rainy evening. We were amazed to find some of the very latest films, including one we particularly wanted to see. He showed us personally to the... More

We loved our stay in Robe. This motel is well located. It was the cleanest, best maintained, best equipped place that we stayed in. The apartment was a good size and we had access to a free DVD library. On site laundry was helpful. Staff friendly and helpful.

Well, considering Australian standard, this place is probably the best option to stay some days in Robe. It is very well located, close to the beach, port and city centre. Our room was really big, with a full kitchen, private spa and it was really clean. The building is a little old, but everything is working. The only problem we... More

The A/C was on and our room was nice and cool when we arrived. There is some filtered rain water waiting for you so your coffee won´t taste like crap from the tap water. The location is superb in Robe. And the owners are friendly and helpful. I´m not sure how you could go wrong.
