Guest Reviews
- Michaela (7/5): - View from front window, the clean room and great location. A little noisy early in the mornings.
- James (9/5): -
- Michel (9/5): -
- Linda (9/5): - Lovely updated decor and in great central location
- Dusty (9/5): fab! will be back - loved the area, bed was comfortable, room was clean walls are very thin, could hear next door snoring
- Charlie (8/5): Very good - Breakfast was a little expensive Salad not needed on a cooked breakfast
- Atul (8/5): It was a Good cozy stay next to Market and Beach. Loved it - Nice and clean N/A
- whau241 (7/5): - Good spot for a one night stay during a road trip to Great Ocean Road. Understand parking is at the back, but was very confusing with road closures and no signage to indicate to enter for parking for Blue Ocean.
Understand it will be a different experience for everyone, but in the middle of the night could hear other guests loudly transporting suitcases.
- Anne (7/5): Convenient for what we needed. - Beds comfortable. Ok for a single night just to sleep Floor was a bit gritty and water pressure could better.
- Liam (9/5): -
- JACK (7/5): Great stay and value for money - Easy check in great location. Great size room Thin walls can hear next door guests
- Rosalie Linda (3/5): - N/A The room was supposed to be a Deluxe Queen room for $450 including a discounted rate, for one night. It had only an uncomfortable bed and a little side table with a chair as furniture. Not at all as pictured. There was no staff at the motel, no reception, so no way to complain or ask for a better room.
They sent a message saying pick up your room key at the back of the shop, the door is accessible all night, it will be in an envelope on the wall with your name on it. Not a very safe environment on top of a Restaurant. No Blue Ocean in sight, only a view over the car park. Totally over priced for what it is, more like the sleeping quarters for Restaurant staff than a Deluxe Room.
- Tara (8/5): Good stay! - Easy check in, great spot on the Main Street! Toaster, kettle and fridge in the room was handy! We don’t speak to anyone (staff wise) during our stay, something to keep in mind if you need that! We didn’t mind and it was easy to check in and out!
- jun (9/5): -
- timmudge (9/5): Lovely place to stay, perfect for a touring stop. - Excellent location, very near beach and shops. Easy check in. Very clean, bright, modern and airy. Comfy beds, great shower and bathroom, all spotlessly clean. Excellent for touring, it had everything we needed.
- Brent (8/5): -
- Amanda (10/5): Will be back - Clean, tidy, hop skip jump to Main Street & golf course, My hot water was good
- David (7/5): - looking a bit tired
- Meghean (7/5): -
- Susan (8/5): - Ease of check in Bamboo Pillows very uncomfortable
- Kelly (6/5): Loved Apollo Bay - Location was fantastic Room was smaller than expected
- Paul (3/5): - Nothing All of it , the most unappealing hotel I've ever been to
- Brett (8/5): -
- Nathan (9/5): -
- Ellie (10/5): Lovely beach side motel - Beautiful room, clear instructions, free room upgrade, coffee tea fridge provided, sea view. Not much really! Would stay here again
- Katie (4/5): Remodelled room was nice but other issues made it very overpriced for what you get. - The location was very central and walking distance to everything We paid quite a high rate for budget motel property. The tv didn’t work and we had to get service to get it working. (This was quick but happened multiple times ). The hot water in the shower is a nightmare, you have to wait ages for it to heat up, if you try to alter it slightly when in, it goes freezing cold and you have to turn it off and wait for it to heat again. We asked for room to be serviced each day given the price we paid. New towels were just put on the bed and that was it. No bed made. It was an extremely noisy room even hearing another couples intimacy from 3 rooms away. Employees smoking out the back wafts in the passage. Rooms have been remodelled but rest of motel is very dated and the tv and hot water issues combined with lack of servicing on the rooms make it way overpriced.
- Eveline (10/5): -
- Stephen (6/5): Average - Location Note in room advised of on going problems with TV and hot water.
TV only worked one night,hot water a challenge.Cold shower or boiling.
- Lenka (10/5): Krásný moderní a útulný pokoj. S příjemným vybavením v podobě kávy, čaje a sušenky. - Moc příjemné a útulné ubytování. Nic
- Metcalfe (10/5): - Very clean, great room, clear check instructions, quiet. Great location Nothing, would highly recommend!
- Urs (10/5): Würde jederzeit wieder dort übernachten - Sehr gute Lage und die Einrichtung war sehr schön
- Gerry (7/5): - Having to climb the stairs with luggage, as I didn't think it was safe to leave it in the car in the carpark
- Soni (8/5): -

- Jay (1/5): Totally not worth it. I never recommend it. - It is different with photo and like cheapy inn.
- Cicchini (7/5): -
- Alexander (8/5): -
- Mengmeng (8/5): 算是比较普通的汽车旅馆吧 - 位置很好 免费停车
- Tibelya (10/5): Perfect als tussenstop voor de Great Ocean Road - De locatie was perfect. We kregen een gratis upgrade in de kamers, dus dat was ook heel fijn. Zeer ruime, schone kamers. Perfect als tussenstop voor de Great Ocean Road. Niks
- Karen (8/5): -
- Jill (8/5): Superb for a one night stay - Ease of checking in. Very clean & practical stuff there eg tea, coffee, milk, ironing board, WiFi. Good shower. Lovely bedding & towels. The noise of the fridge at night!
- delio (8/5): Buona posizione stanza curata ma con bisogno di tappi per le orecchie - Pulizia ,camera molto curata direttamente in centro La porta della doccia non si chiudeva .
La nostra camera numero 1 direttamente sopra l’ entrata di cui la porta della reception così rumorosa che sentivi chi entrava e usciva . Non potevi certo dormire finché tutti gli ospiti erano nelle loro camere. Poi essendo dietro ad un locale i proprietari orientali scaricavano e caricavano e sbattevano porte senza pensare che sopra c’è qualcuno nella stanza . Muri sottili si sentiva propio tutto .
- mauro (9/5): -
- Srecko (9/5): Happy - Nice and clean The view of next door roof
- Jimmy (5/5): - Location Space and cleaning
- Michael (9/5): Alles top 👍 - Top lage; sauber und grosses Zimmer
- Indira (8/5): It was comfortable. - It was beautiful, facilities were new and nice. We could not not access netflix.
- Dan (6/5): -
- Dijana (8/5): - Room was clean and tidy. Room didn't have wardrobe.
- Michelle (8/5): great experience - The room is small but clean and tidy, with complete amenities. The split air conditioning works very well and cools the room quickly. There is no reception on site, but the check-in guide is clear and helpful, with a phone number provided in case you need assistance. The only downside is the hot water pressure, which is quite low, and sometimes you need to wait a while for the water to heat up.
- Keiron (5/5): Meh - Located a short walk to the main street featuring a few bars, the only thing open after 8 was the pub. We were lucky enough to arrive for the Christmas fireworks otherwise there's not much you to do in the evening. The walls are paper thin. Our window looked onto a brick wall. The carpet in the main hall needs an overhaul. The rooms floor needed a mop (not just a sweep). There were some stains on the external bedding. The room itself only just fit 2 of us. Would recommend a "double" room for a solo traveller.
- Dave (8/5): Excellent comfy overnighter - Easy check in, we got an email with all the relevant info on. The room was excellent, very clean, well stocked with tea and coffee, comfy bed and excellent toilet and shower room. Didn’t see any staff but I guess that’s how they keep the cost down.
- Eddie (7/5): -
- Harry (9/5): Clean and comfortable on the Great Ocean Road - Perfect location to stop off on Great Ocean Road. Spotlessly clean with hairdryer and toiletry essentials. Quiet and comfortable. Good use of space. WiFi unfortunately didn’t reach our room at all. Also felt strange not seeing any workers, would’ve been nice to speak to somebody face-to-face about local recommendations (although appreciated all of the written communication in the room)
- Lucas (8/5): -
- Sachitha (7/5): -
- Ben (7/5): - Location was very close to beach and restaurants Bed was too hard for my preference
- Cristina (6/5): - La posizione è buona, il centro di Apollo Bay si raggiunge facilmente a piedi.
L'arredamento è semplice, ma la stanza pulita. Struttura molto basica, non c'è nessuno dello staff al check-in e al check-out. Il prezzo alto rispetto alla qualità della stanza (praticamente un container con pavimento in pendenza), ma probabilmente è dovuto alla posizione comoda lungo la Great Ocean Road e a un paesino carino (di cui noi non abbiamo potuto godere a causa di pioggia e freddo, ma questo non è colpa del motel)
- Mia (10/5): -
- Andrew (7/5): Not value for money. - Comfortable bed. Had a toaster! Location was good. Easy check in View of carpark. Broken sink in room 1. Price of room was expensive compared to other accomodation. Banging door at rear needs to be made a slow close. First loud bang was 6am. Remove smoking at rear as smoke comes into bedrooms.
- Xiaoyu (8/5): -
- Willemse (6/5): -
- eric (5/5): Mauvais rapport qualité/prix - Chambre propre et récente, proche des commerces et de la plage. Un micro-ondes dans un espace commun réduit pour toutes les chambres. Une table minuscule pour manger. Un escalier très raide pour accéder aux chambres et monter les valises. La vue directe sur les toits en tôle et les panneaux solaires.
- Chutima (10/5): -
- Yu (8/5): -
- Elisa (8/5): - The room was small but well appointed and comfortable with pretty much everything you need. The five to ten minute wait for hot water in the shower is terrible and a huge waste of water. Hate to think how much precious water is being wasted!! The hot water system needs to be upgraded. The shower also needs to be cleaned better as there was a lot of evidence of mould.
- Gareth (7/5): -
- Gayle (8/5): -
- Gary (7/5): - Location and clever design of the room No dishwashing liquid
Window looking out on industrial roof
- Glenn (7/5): Convenient location on the great ocean road - Hassle free check in, great location, handy kettle/toaster in the room Small room and needs a proper curtain
- Petra (8/5): Guter Zwischenstopp - ordentliches Motel - Die gute Lage, die Parkmöglichkeit und der einfache Check-in.
- Damion (9/5): Exactly what we wanted. Thoroughly impressed. - Excellent location; perfect compromise of facility simplicity, adequacy and cleanliness Nil
- Olivia (10/5): Perfect for a stop off on the Great Ocean Road - Easy check in and check out and nice sized room with everything you needed
- Narcis (9/5): Nice one night stay - Clean, good location, free parking. Room and bathroom was rather small.
- Yeates (9/5): Does what it says on the tin - Good for 1 night
- Niamh (6/5): -
- Rooshab (8/5): -
- Ian (6/5): -
- Tracey (7/5): - Basic but clean and comfortable
- Rannah (5/5): It was an ok stay but I wouldn't stay there again. - Location was excellent Bed was a bit uncomfortable. Did not like having to park my car in a public car park shared with the local shops. Didn't like the price, it was excessive for what we got. No WiFi, water was annoying and the tv remote didn't work properly. The building felt like it was falling away on all angles as you walked around. Only one exit point to back carpark via steps. Never saw a person
- Julienne (6/5): Günstig eingerichetes Zimmer mit Stil - Schön eingerichtetes Zimmer an guter Lage. Sehr günstig alles eingerichtet und den Preis überhaupt nicht wert. Es war sehr hellhörig und Check-in erst nach 14.30 Uhr möglich für alle Gäste, obwohl in Booking 14.00 Uhr steht? Solche Sachen sind ärgerlich und dann noch zu so einem hohen Preis.
- Fabrizio (4/5): Blue ocean with no ocean view - Posizione Non si vedeva l’oceano e il prezzo è troppo alto per un motel di basso livello
- Mark (10/5): Renovated room, new bathroom, clean, close to restaurants -
- Pra (8/5): -
- BING (5/5): -
- Carlotta (10/5): -
- Mia (6/5): - Location was great Shower drains were blocked so when showering had to constantly turn the shower off every 2 minutes to allow it to drain, then turn the water back on again.
- Lucas (10/5): easy access , good location , clean - Clean All perfect
- Laura (6/5): Habitacion muy bien equipada pero horribles escaleras para llegar hasta ella ademas de ruido constante! - La habitación parecia que acabada de ser renovada, estaba muy bien y bonita, ademas de tener todo lo necesario para estar comodo. Habian pensado en todos los detalles. La cama super blanda (me dio dolor de espalda al dia siguiente)
Horribles las escaleras para acceder a las habitaciones- no se como lo hará alguien con discapacidad o limitación de movilidad. Horrible subir una maleta de 23kg con mochila y bolsas varias. Ademas me colocaron en la habitación justo después de las escaleras y temprano por la mañana era HORRIBLE como se escuchaban todos los pasos de la gente subiendo y bajando las escaleras como una estampida de elefantes!! Apenas pude dormir desde muy temprano por la mañana.
Ademas que se escuchaba la aspiradora desde bien temprano mucho antes de la hora de chexk-out. La puerta de la habitación era de papel- se escuchaba todo.
Ademas, a las 9:30am ya empezó alguien a llamar a mi puerta de room service!!! Tenia hasta las 10:00 (que me parece demasiado temprano con check-out) me molesto bastante. Encima de todo el ruido horrible de estampida de elefantes, me querian sacar de mi habitación antes de tiempo!
- Paola Andrea (10/5): -
- Maren (10/5): -
- KAMILA (9/5): Genial - Muy moderno, básico limpio y céntrico. Genial para pasar una noche durante el recorrido
