6/10 Good

Convenient stopover

Clean and convenient location for family travel, everything you could expect from a basic motel room but we felt that the room rate that we paid was overpriced. Would definitely do more research for our next visit for properties that match the price range.

8/10 Very good

Pleasant and comfortable.

A very pleasant motel, but despite proximity to waterfront, our room, and a number of others had no sea view. Those at the front did. Make sure, if it’s important to you to order accordingly. Otherwise room large, beds comfortable, shower good, loo paper good (not too thin).

10/10 Exceptional

The property is well located but is truly right on the Great Ocean Road. Very quiet at night and great views from the 2nd story balcony. You are close enough to the ocean to hear the waves breaking at night. Would recommend to travelers on the Great Ocean Road. Also - dining at Graze in town was fabulous 👍

This was perfect for our family getaway. The location was great; it was within walking distance of restaurants and the beach. Our stay was perfect, the kids had one room, and we had the other. Small kitchen, table and lounge.
