Excellent

Fantastic place, you can wake up and hear the waves crashing. Located across from the water, short walk from beach, cafe literally. I would definitely stay here again.
Location is good situated around amenities. But room smells dampy, quite a number of house flies. This is a 3 star hotel equivalent but quite pricey. Thank goodness I only stay for 1 night only.
These people are great communication after reserving they explained everything very clearly gave us additional information. It’s a great value for a great place for family or a group of friends.
Great location in Port Campbell. Staff at Reception was lovely and helpful. Found the layout of the bathroom was not great - towel holders/hooks were not accessible from the shower. Light switch outside bathroom so light disturbed anyone in room during the night.
Was disappointed not in new unit as per booking picture. Teatowel useless and you expecting to wash up. No TV channels was a bit of an experience, but free Netflix etc was great. Location is excellent. Rabbits galore at night. A real experience.
Great location with very welcoming and friendly staff.
The room could do with some maintenance like cleaning the exhaust fan. Also the list of rules in the room were a bit extreme.
The website also mentions to call ahead to reserve parking, this is not required at all. There is ample parking.
Loved it here. Great motel by the beach. Everything you need for a short stay and lovely views of the beach.

The room was nice with newer carpet and furnishings. The shower caddy should be replaced and new soap dispenser. We had to wash the dishes that we used but there isn't a sink. We used the bathroom sink but I don’t think that is hygienic.
We enjoyed our night here. Was a nice place to stay

We got in after 8pm as we saw the Apostles at sunset. Love that you walk out of the motel and get the sea view of the cove and beach. It is walking distance to the cafe and eateries from the motel. The town was rather quiet except for road works happening on the main road at the time we were there. The room was comfortable and basic with a small kitchenet and microwave to heat up food and the beds are comfortable. The only thing wrong is the cracked basin in the bathroom. Although functional, we feel it should be replaced for hygiene and aesthetic reasons. We had one night but could have stayed 2 as there were much to explore in the area.
