Guest Reviews
- Rshoes (9/5): -
- Prue (7/5): -
- dimity (7/5): View good, noise at night bad - Beautiful view from our room and location in the middle of the strip which suited us. The only real issue was a sound of a generator or air conditioner or something outside was pretty constant and made a good night’s sleep impossible. Place was clean, bed comfortable but only a double and it was pretty basic. Would not stay here again but it was mostly fine.
- Anthony (5/5): - Great location Rooms in need of update
- John (5/5): -
- Alan (8/5): Great location - Location was great. Easy walk to everything
- Annette (9/5): - It was very central and we loved the balcony to sit on. The staff were great and there being a guest washing machine very welcome. Each day our room was serviced which was great. Nothing really.
- Nancy (10/5): Fantastic! - Very comfortable and quiet, ocean view and walkable to the entire town! Clean, good bed and great shower! Mini kitchen with frig and microwave was a plus. Having real 🍽 plates/glasses/utensils was nice! Laundry was a huge plus! ...
- Ebony (10/5): -
- Zahir (8/5): -
- Simon (8/5): Basic and clean. - Location was wonderful. The bathroom- small, dated and tired
- Isabelle (8/5): - Bon emplacement proche de la plage et des restaurants bon accueil hôtel calme mais un peu vieillot Pas de mitigeur pour ia douche et le lavabo
- Graeme (3/5): -
- Brian (6/5): Great view of Lorne beach, spacious and comfortable room, but needs a bit of modernising. - Good location for convenience, and a great view and nice balcony. Room was spacious and bed comfortable. Shower was hot and a good size. Check in staff were helpful. Parking was ok, but spaces a bit tight (re doors). Toilet flush needed maintenance, wifi was poor, TV was old (not a smart TV), and hairdryer was old and not great but worked.

- Anton (7/5): -
- wendy (2/5): Expensive for old, tired and shabby rooms. - Location Very tired and old fashioned. Expensive for such basic facilities.
- Terrence (8/5): -
- John (8/5): Perfect location, good place to stay with a few "old motel" symptoms - Rose on reception was very helpful and cheery. Room was spotless, view was really great across the beach. Location is perfect - walk to everything only a few steps from the door. There was no face washer, and the provided soap was a tiny little bar of nothing. Coffee mugs had no handles, only a rubber cover which made them hard to hold. Pillows were pretty old and hard as a rock.
- Petronella (10/5): Exceptional place to stay - It was very smart , good priced . Peaceful location and comfortable to stay Nothing
- Pat (9/5): Great location. 2 min walk to beach, 1 min walk to shops but still quiet! - Perfect location. Enough space for the three of us. Small gripe but hard to fill kettle and wash dishes in the hand basin but that was it.
- Guido (7/5): - Tolle Lage direkt in Lorne schon recht abgewohnt, hoher Preis
- Sandra (10/5): Better than expected - Great view, very clean and staff at reception was lovely Great location and bed very comfortable

- Marlene (8/5): good - View was excellent only comment bathroom was very small but other than that room was very nice Bathroom clean but small
- Yasmin (10/5): - View was lovely. Place was clean and tidy.
- Thomas (6/5): Basic which I knew when booking but price is way too much for what is provided. - Receptionist Rose was so welcoming and amazing.
Bed was comfy. Room view was great! Bathroom was sub par. Shower pressure was too high. Shower head was too low.
Poor old school TV setup.
- susan (9/5): - We loved the location and view from our room - great that we could hear the sound of the ocean - but street was quiet. staff friendly & helpful.
- Spiros (10/5): -
- Danny (8/5): - Didn't spend much time in the room. It was convenient for work. Comfortable and everything I needed.

- Doina (1/5): -
- Aleksandr (7/5): - Все приемлемо, но цена показалась завышенной для мотеля.
- Nicole and Brendan (8/5): Lovely spot for a long weekend! - Brilliant location, love the beach just across the road! View of the beach from our front balcony was just magic. Parked the car and didn’t need it again for 2 days! Everything in easy walking distance. It’s a bit older, so things are not shiny and new. Stairs up to apartment also a bit old and need careful attention to ensure you don’t miss-step.
- Andrew (7/5): It’s all about location - The location and the view No fly screen on the balcony door. So many bugs enter
- Rozbin (10/5): Comfortable clean excellent - Love staff at counter. Check in easy. Great location. Beautiful comfortable room Nothing
- George (10/5): Again and again - Friendly and efficient staff.

Great bed Going home
- Jane (7/5): Good stay for the night clean which is great. Great view of the ocean on the top level - Great views an older property but clean. Good for an overnighter No hand towel
- Victor (10/5): -
- Denise (8/5): We have a lovely four nights however thew weather could have been better. - This is a basic motel however very clean, spacious and comfortable. The location is the best with views of the ocean and across the road from the main beach. We have stayed there several times and will continue to do so. The bathroom was tiny however does not deter us from visiting.
- Karen (7/5): Nice stay. - Location right in centre of town.
Comfortable bed, used extra blanket no electric blanket on bed.
Clean room. Little hill to walk up to get to rooms.
Noisy people drinking all night outside on the balcony. Used earplugs.
Light comes in side curtain, through the night a light outside is left on. The curtain is heavy but gapes at the end.
No face washers in towels.

It had everything I needed.
Staff were helpful in fixing air con.
Comfortable bed Nothing
- Francis (10/5): -
- Fasseli (8/5): Motel-style accommodation in a fantastic location - The location is fantastic. Meters from the beach and my favourite cafe. My balcony has sea views which is a nice bonus. The room has been refreshed reasonably recently. The common parts of the motel are dated and not that great.
My bathroom was split with the sink in the main room and very little room.
- tracy (4/5): - Close to everything Just very old more so the bathroom and we had no bath mat
- Dave (10/5): We had a wonderful week - Close to the beach and restaurants
- Jeffrey (7/5): Very pleasant place. Like the owner. Need to do some updates to their rooms. - Room was very clean and well organized. Owner seemed very nice. Bed was comfortable. Parking onsite was a plus. Location across from the beach was great. TV did not work. It seemed like there was an issue with their satellite feed. Shower fixtures were loose. Carpet was tired and worn, but definitely clean.
- Laura (7/5): - Great to have allocated parking - as the motel is located in a very busy area
The cleanliness of the hotel was good - we noticed some spots in the room that perhaps the vacuum had missed but no great concern
We only interacted with staff to check in, we did not opt for house keeping and did a contact-less checkout. this was all smooth sailing
we will be back! the location cannot be beaten!
- Ann (8/5): Value for money - Great location Stairs

- Dale (7/5): - The View from the top rooms was amazing
- Keisha (10/5): the best weekend away - the balcony and location toilet was abit dodgy
- Ashmita (4/5): - Not clean
N staff was not friendly
- Paul (9/5): -
- Brooke (3/5): Needs an renovation - Location is great close to beach Shower terrible. Bowls were basically flat like a plate. Smelt like mould. Baby could fall through bottom of balcony (huge gap under railing) . No king bed , only double. Looked bigger in picture (the room and the bed) . Door didn’t lock from the balcony . Someone left the gate open one night so the wind caused the gate to made this awful loud bang every 5 minutes - didn’t get any sleep that night .
- Nurul amira (8/5): -
- David (8/5): No problems and enjoyed a brief stay. - Great Location. Comfortable and fine for a 1 night stay on our road trip
- samia (10/5): The motel surrounded by great cafés and restaurants, so everything you need is just a short walk away. The atmosphere is - The motel has an unbeatable location in front of the beach, with stunning views and easy access to the beach, cafes and restaurants but the mostly I liked was the see view from the room. Nothing, I would like to come again and again.
- Rhiarne (9/5): -
- Justine (10/5): Lovely sea view apartment in a great location - It was a good size with great views
- Neilsen (9/5): -
- Athanasia (5/5): Only thing good was location - Location Old and worn out
- Steph (8/5): -
- Summer (10/5): -
- Tony (8/5): - Location
- Ashley (4/5): - The facility was close to shops and the beach Kids couldn’t be kids, and where literally told our kids had to be quiet. It was Christmas they couldn’t even celebrate or be kids on a holiday
- Helen (10/5): -
- Michelle (5/5): Loved Lorne, wouldn’t be hard to love motel with a little modification. - A motel that really needs some TLC. Great location, cannot fault. The facilities - the case store has a microwave on it any free bench space the TV. The room is old and dated. I think value for money was poor but this is influenced by time of year - just prior to Christmas so prices are premium. I think for some low cost modifications (tv on wall, microwave on shelf, upgraded bedding, bigger fridge) this place could score a lot better. All that said, it was an ok stay. Check in was easy and staff were polite and helpful. Superb location. As above
- Manish (9/5): Highly recommended, Excellent stay and location. I will stay again if given a chance - Location and facilities, the room was very comfortable and well equipped. The beds and towels were clean The Lady we met in reception on day of arrival ( we reached around 3 PM) . She scared us to venture out and was very pessimistic about reptile and wild life that we can possibly encounter in the region. She was of no help when requested for local sightseeing.
- robert (9/5): -
- Christopher (9/5): Great location and studio apartment, one of the best we have stayed in. - Location perfect
