Great, convenient stay for a one night/two day visit to the Twelve Apostles and Great Ocean Road area. Very clean and good quality for a little motel, and friendly service. Thanks!
Way better than expected!!! We were surprised with a wonderful shared space where we had our dinner that we purchased to go in Port Campbell because it was late and restaurants were closing. They had also free full breakfast included for the five of us. And the staff gave us an outstanding service.
Thanks!!!
Beautiful location beachside with ocean view.
Wonderful hosts who prepare wonderful high quality chef meals; and 2 bedroom family room had all amenities and very comfortable.
You’ll be handled with care when you visit this motel, given it’s a family business, it’s wonderful to be treated with care and kindness. Highly recommend a visit
We truly enjoyed our stay at Peterborough House. It was steps from the beach; we had dinner on site; and continental breakfast was very good - especially the fresh-from-the-oven croissants.
I had a very pleasant stay at Peterborough House. The location is excellent, located right beside the Great Ocean Road and a two minute walk from Peterborough beach which is gorgeous. My room was nice and came with an accessible bathroom (not sure if all rooms do but very useful for some travellers), and the mini bar was well stocked with local and Aussie produce if you need something extra in the evening. Breakfast was a simple but very pleasant and convenient. I think you can pay for other options if you wish. It was only a one night stop for me, but it was very nice, good value for money, and just what I needed after a long day driving 😊
This hotel was amazing. The room was immaculate and so cozy. The power went out (a pelican ran into a powerline!) and the staff was very helpful in keeping us updated and providing tea candles so we could see in our rooms. Amazing stay.
Great little family owned hotel. Welcomed by 2 sweet labs in the parking area across from wonderful large beach and incredible sunsets. Perfect breakfast lunch and dinner at their restaurant. Much better than staying in port Campbell-that’s too touristy. We loved staying here in this quite little hamlet right on the Grest ocesn Tx / just perfect!!
This is a gem of a place! Modern style with great, warm family feel. It’s across a basically empty road from and incredible beach. Walking paths straight from the motel, games, food, coffee and yummy curry. The rooms are great. Our family loved staying here!
A great Motel in a lovely quiet spot on the Great Ocean Road. Andrew and Rhoda family are great hosts and keep their place in very good condition. Don't be alarmed if you are met by two black Labradors, they are even more friendly than the hosts! 😁
We enjoyed our 1 night stay here at Peterborough. It was one of our last stops on the Great Ocean Road. It is a quick walk to the beach and the walking trails in the area are beautiful.
The room was good size and equipped with all we needed. If I had known more about the area, I might have chosen a place in Port Campbell instead.
The Peterborough House was a very nice stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Peterborough. Room was very clean beautifully renovated and decorated . Our dinner and breakfast were delicious. Short walk across the road to the beach. Beautiful quiet outdoor area to sit in the evening and enjoy the beautiful weather we had. Highly recommend. A credit to the staff and owners. Thank you
Fantastic location opposite the beach.
Very clean and modern.
Very well stocked mini bar in room.
Staff really friendly.
All Good 😎

Nice experience
The motel is rather simple but it has everything one needs. The breakfast was really delicious (also the flat white!). However it wasn't a buffet, but rather a menu, where you could only choose one option of food and one of beverage.
The rooms, specially the carpet, but be a little cleaner. However, we had a nice experience.
Less than 20 minutes away from the 12 Apostles viewing platform. We stayed for its closeness so we can take pictures for sunset and sunrise at the 12 Apostles. The hotel has good choices for dinner, and the kitchen staff even helped to make a very customized breakfast, completely off the menu! Very friendly and helpful staff, they provided sightseeing tips for a couple of less well known local attractions. A great finding for us!

Ok stay; probably won’t be back
Ok room but some issues. Room clean and bed mostly comfortable. Large room and easy parking. When we arrived bedspread had holes in it and had to be changed. Also “free” breakfast not good at all and rather went elsewhere for breakfast. Had supper there and good, no issues. Probably not stay there again. Overpriced.
Friendly, courteous staff, very clean environment, excellent dinner brought to our room, wonderful morning coffee with relaxing atmosphere and great views.
