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.

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).

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.

This was a wonderful room and the location of the hotel was so very close to the main Apollo Bay township - literally a 5 minute walk to shops, cafes and restaurants. The staff so very helpful and friendly! My sister and I had a lovely stay and will definitely be back!! Thank you so very much 😁

Wonderful view!
The view always wins! Gorgeous ocean view. Very comfortable. This area is geared toward hikers of great ocean road I think so accommodations are not fancy. Still, quite nice. I would recommend!
