Room was excellent and bed super comfortable but unfortunately there was an issue with the gas and no hot water for a shower after a long day travelling. Staff were apologetic but the weather was chilly so a freezing cold shower was not ideal

Easily accessed from Great Ocean Road, located opposite the coast. Property is well maintained & clean, reception staff are friendly and helpful. Room was clean, bed comfortable, bathroom sizeable with good shower and fluffy towels, all required facilities - kettle, toaster, microwave, cutlery & crockery, tv, hairdryer etc. Just minutes walk away from shops and restaurants, and also beach.

Really impressed with everything about our stay at Waterfront motor inn. We reserved the spa ocean view room and it was amazing! Immaculate and spotless! The owner was very helpful and paid attention to detail. They left a water bottle and 2 glasses in the refrigerator in advance of our stay. The bed was very clean and comfortable and the shower had great pressure! If back in Australia we would definitely stay there again!
