The room we stayed in needed refurbishing badly. I understand that some have been. They had made a real effort in the cleanliness but it was overshadowed because of the general state (needed upgrading) of the room. There was a large wet patch on the carpet, we asked for towels to place over it, which we were bought promptly. We said we did not need to be shifted. There is a severe drought and low water levels in this area so would not have expected lush growth. The grounds were generally tidy. The lady we dealt with was very pleasant and accommodating. The bed needs replacing as well. They have tried hard but the reality is this room is budget accommodation and perhaps that is the price we paid in that area. It was late when we arrived and so little options available.

The only good thing about this places was the view, the place was very run down and not clean. My husband didn’t shower in our stay because the shower floor was all broken with no grouting and it was filthy. A big disappointment

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.

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.

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.

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!
