Portland Tourist Park

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely fantastic accommodation! The property is beautiful, modern and very clean, with two spacious bedrooms and excellent facilities. Everything was new, comfortable and well equipped, and the whole place was spotlessly clean. This was the best accommodation we stayed at during our entire trip. We really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone. We would definitely choose to stay here again next time!"

Swell At Cape Bridgewater

10/10 Excellent
"Alannah was really terrific and suggested walking tracks to do. She also dropped us off to the start point and picked us up again. It was terrific to see an abundance of wildlife on these walks - echidnas, seals, wallabies, brown snakes, red bellied black snake and a tiger snake. The location is spot on with the Cape Bridgewater Cafe serving great food only a 5 min walk down the road looking out over the sheltered beach. Excellent choice for a break away from the hustle and bustle. We stayed here for 2 nights prior to heading down The Great Ocean Road to Apollo Bay. Well worth going to Swell at Cape Bridgewater."

"The motel was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The staff were friendly and the location was convenient. Overall, it was a decent place to stay, but considering the price we paid, I expected a little more. There wasn’t anything particularly wrong with the motel, but I don’t feel the standard quite matched the price. At a lower rate, I’d have no hesitation recommending it, but for the price, I think there are better-value options available."
