We had to park on the street as the motel car park was full (including the spot in front of our room). The hot water system from next door kept making a constant loud banging noise which got quite annoying by the end of the night and trying to sleep. The room was comfortable and clean, kitchen had everything we needed, tea/coffee/sugar/milk provided, beds were comfortable.

For an overnight stop this was perfect. It is close to the beach. There was no balcony and the picture on the advertising materials was for a different part. However, the room was spacious and met what we required.

Great location! I would highly recommend booking the ocean view rooms (we were only staying one night so we booked a motel room) so glad we stayed in Port Campbell - it’s a stunning, quaint town! Walking distance to everything! Our bathroom window wouldn’t close (broken) so a bit chilly when we were showering and the bedroom aircon (on warm) didn’t work. Other than that, we would stay again!

The room was a nice size and is walking distance to everything. The bed was comfortable but the room just seems slightly worn.

Quiet, comfortable and great location

Stayed in one of the villas so cannot comment on the rest of the room types. Spotlessly clean and beds comfortable. In a great location too. The only downside was the unit was a little cold. Perfect for an overnight after a long day exploring the Great Ocean Road. Would stay again and highly recommended.
