We would like to thank Rob and Beth the owners of the Bell Motor Inn for their hospitality, friendliness and compassion. We found ourselves having to go to Melbourne for a serious operation at the Austin Hospital and the Bell Motor Inn was the only place where we could go and stay for a long period the other Motels we...

We came here with a family member who needed a life saving operation at the Austin hospital. We have found both the owner Rob and his staff to be kind and honest in every way. We have been there two weeks and are looking at another three. thanks.

Room was spacious and had all things needed eg hair dryer ,table and sitting chairs The building is some years old now and probably you could say that it is reaching a time where a programme of refurbishment is just...

After making a call to the front desk they sent an individual to review the situation. After hearing the heat unit he... More

We travelled to Melbourne for a funeral and wanted to stay near family. Unfortunately we picked this place. The rooms were dirty and cold. We asked for an extra heater as I was up feeding a 3 month old at night and the staff member said the heating was adequate and they would not provide one. The furnishings were very... More

We left Phillip Island after seeing the penguins in pouring rain with the intention of visiting the art galleries in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. We had no idea where there were any motels or hotels we were driving on a wing and a prayer. We drove for miles and miles without finding anything, then just on the point of... More
