A stay with no frills in this nice motel within walking distance to the town but with a beautiful view on the sea. The room could use a little glow up but for one night is more than enough. Staff friendly at check-in. Would stay here again.

Liked: Room comfort
We had a lovely stay! It was wonderful to find there was a separate room for our girls to sleep in, very easy to make room for our portacot, a carport right in front of our door, our own stairs going up to our room. The tea and coffee tray was fun to use, and the sound of the ocean at night so lovely, and even better the view, at all times of the day and night!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
I went on a road trip and this property was the most expensive and poorest quality. There is no internet even though advertised differently. Towel rail hanging from wall, chairs old and well used, bottle opener and toaster in the room were both rusted, air con/heating not working, bathroom cupboard very old. shower soap holder used to be chrome, room door lock needs fixing, On a positive area is lovely with sea view, sheets seemed clean and checking out was seamless.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The Motel is clean, very comfy bed and the view is amazing, but they will need to clean up the trees around as they are hitting the building and the roof , we had a very strong winds on first night and we couldn't have much sleep due to the noise of branches hitting very hard the side wall of the building and the roof. Other then that is a great place to stay.

Whilst view was perfect, the whole complex was poorly maintained..doors didn't close properly, screws on balcony were lifting up, curtains need replacing, worn carpet in main entrance to units. Price was exorbitant for property even for a Saturday night.

The property is in a great location for exploring Apollo Bay or stopping over on your journey along the Ocean Road. Located just on the edge of town (5 minutes walk into the main shopping area) the motel is well situated - lots of parking and neat, spotlessly clean, well equipped apartments. We had an upstairs (no lift) apartment with a double and single. Nicely laid out with a shower ensuite and a kettle for making coffee and tea. The welcome at reception was friendly and efficient. The price was very competitive in comparison with other similar looking properties online and was great value for money in a busy time of the year. Would definitely come back.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The signs were there when we first drove in. A large empty room was full of used and broken furniture. We were offered a larger room that was dirty, had a balcony door that had a ripped insect screen and was run down. Our second room was no better. The bathroom had black mold throughout, the bedroom wall was caked in dust that looked years old. The TV didn't work and the lock to to the front/sliding door was hanging by one screw. We lasted one night and then left. Whoever rated this hotel needs to revisit it. This place or at least the two room that we saw were in desperate need of renovations. In fact the whole property needs a major make over.

A somewhat older motel but very clean and comfortable with a lovely view of the ocean. Some mugs for tea and coffee would be welcome instead of the small cups and saucers provided.
