Top Carlisle River Hotel Reviews

Apollo Bay Waterfront Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location on the beach front with easy access to all the pubs and restaurants within walking distance."

Beacon Point Ocean View Villas

10/10 Excellent

"When you turn off the main road i assumed the villas were the ones near Chris’s restaurant they are not its a very hard right turn just after Turing off the main road .. The privacy and the views were outstanding and a great surprise compared to what we were expecting at the villas near Chris’s . No restaurant here but then Chris’s restaurant isn’t open all week . Great kitchen facilities and spa bath lovely large king sized beds with another twin bed room Just an amazing place to watch the sun go down and southern cross to appear in the night sky"

Sea Foam Villas

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful one-night stay in a one-bedroom family spa apartment. The apartment was immaculate, spacious, airy, and beautifully laid out, with lovely high ceilings, a balcony with a partial sea view, and a well-equipped kitchen with everything we needed (and more, including a dishwasher!). The location is fantastic, with the beach just across the road and plenty of lovely cafés and restaurants within a five-minute walk. Port Campbell itself is a gorgeous area to explore. Our apartment was on the second floor with stair access, so I’d recommend requesting a ground-floor apartment for anyone with mobility difficulties. We did stay on a particularly windy night, which made the wind noticeable against the windows and doors, but this didn’t detract from our overall experience. We only wish we could have stayed longer! We’d wholeheartedly recommend these apartments and would definitely return if we were in the area again."

Port Campbell Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"very"

Apollo Bay Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, we had a good stay and the accommodation itself was very good. The property was comfortable and met our needs. However, the customer service and communication were quite poor. The instructions for collecting the keys were not clear enough, and we were genuinely worried that if we arrived after 6 pm, we might not be able to get the keys and access the property. This caused unnecessary stress, especially when travelling and arriving later in the day. Apart from the communication and check-in arrangements, everything else was good. We would just recommend improving the communication and providing clearer instructions for guests arriving after hours."

Daysy Hill Country Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Our Daysy Hill Cottages one-night stay in a spa suite was delightful. Reception was smooth and the lady operating it was thoughtful in the advice and suggestions she gave us about where to eat and what to do during our short stay. The suite was clean and the gas fireplace heated the room beautifully. The amenities were perfect and would also be adequate for a much longer stay. The view from our suite looked out over the valley making the outside verandah a lovely place to relax with a beverage and take in the surroundings. This stay was our favourite on our 5 night Great Ocean Road trip and we wished we had booked 2 nights. I would say also that while Port Campbell is tiny it was quaint and appealing. The town was clean and fresh in appearance and offered a good array of dining options. It was a good location from which to travel to see many key highlights of the Great Ocean Road drive."

Apollo Bay Motel and Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Property is a little dated, but everything worked and the staff was fantastic! Recommendations were great!"

Great Ocean Road Brewhouse Apollo Bay

8/10 Good

"Cheap and cheerful. Cannot complain for the price. Suitably clean."

Seafarers Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"We highly recommend this hotel as it has beautiful views of the ocean, serene surroundings, and cute alpacas. The hotel staff was kind and helpful with restaurant suggestions."
