Girls in office were lovely. Overall our room was clean. Very disappointed in the shower condition. The shower base needs attention and under the shower screen where it meets the base in the corner was rotting and it appeared to be mouldy. Would not return

Good value, location good. Clean room. Just one complaint, it would be nice if there was a sharp knife with the rest of the cutlery in room 3

Hi Jean, thank you for your review. We clean our pool daily; however, it can accumulate a lot of leaves on windy days, which are common along the Great Ocean Road. We're pleased to see that you liked the location and hope you enjoyed your trip along the Great Ocean Road.

The room was modern and clean, the bed was comfortable and the TV and split system all worked as they should. A short drive to the Apollo Bay shopping strip.

Value for money is great. The unit was spacious enough and had a kitchenette. We were there in winter and the pool was great for a cold water plunge. Most places with an outdoor pool don't maintain them over the colder months, but they kept the filtration pump going so the water was clean. The motel is a stones throw away from the Great Ocean Walk. I highly recommend this.

Bathroom very outdated and small for a family for the price. The bathroom door squeaked and heated blankets on kids bed’s didn’t work. Not the cleanest, My daughter was playing and found an empty wine bottle under the bed which was a bit concerning! For the price it seemed a bit outdated and didn’t deliver.
