Top Carlisle River Hotel Reviews

Port Campbell Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the design was well thought of. It was in a very good quality for a motel standard although the price was a bit high for a motel. The location was not in the middle of the city centre but it was walkable to the city."

Apollo Bay Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"Bruce was amazing. We had a hiccup checking in but it was all resolved straight away. Thanks again Bruce. We had a great stay for one night during our great ocean road exploring."

Port Campbell Parkview Motel & Apartments

8/10 Good

"Check-in was very easy, rooms and beds were comfortable and very clean . Had hot water shower. Highly recommend.."

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."

Sea Foam Villas

"Convenient location that close the twevlve Apostles, clean rooms. Issues found during the stay - Ensuite bathtub was not working. - Could not find any laundry detergent provided for use. - Hot water was not stable enough for two people to shower at the same time."
