People were lovely and the room was decent other than the doors that were a little broken. The bathroom door was hard to close and it was very hard to get open again. Road to the motel is quite rough for a smaller car. Also very easy to hear neighbours, one person was on the phone outside a room near us until after midnight and we could hear the whole conversation.

Just don’t.

Over 2klms of rough corrugated road to get to a tied old run down excuse for a hotel. Cobwebs in the roof, overgrown lawns and weeds for gardens. Dirty shower and uncomfortable bed. Very sad place and very sorry I booked this one.

The property did have a bit of a run down feel but also felt homey. The check it was lovely and even got shown where our room was. The explanation of the property did leave a bit to be desired with the hand drawn emergency maps on the door being very outdated showing a pool on the map. The clean commitment to cleanliness was not signed or dated and looked very old. The bedding and the towels smelt really bad not sure if that was due to lack of use but it did mean we went straight out and brought sanitising spray to make use feel better. The room service dinner which we ordered was delicious and super well organised so did appreciate that. The onsite dog was lovely and fun to play with. The feel of the place was nice so even with the negatives we would book again but we would bring our own sheets, pillow and towels.

The ad for this is misleading. Our rooms had cobwebs and bugs on the upper walls/ceiling. Needs a deep clean. But Eric is very nice and friendly. This hotel is inconvienent to get too (rough dirt roads). HOWEVER, we saw alot of koalas and kangaroos on the dirt roads around the property that we wouldn't have seen otherwise.

Room and food did not live up to their listing. Only four very basic dinner options that were not of restaurant quality and the cabin? was tiny with insufficient room for our luggage. Hot water for shower was good though. Convenient location to the 12 Apostles but, next time, I would drive the additional distance to the next town.

Loved everything about the place!

It was truly incredible! The service was outstanding, we arrived at 9 pm and everyone we met was so nice, we had dinner made by a lady who works on the property and it was delicious homemade chicken curry and slow-cooked beef. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed, the place is beautiful at night as you can see all the stars shine in the sky, and during the day you can enjoy the farm and feel like you're the only person in the place! The location is also good, 3 min from the 12 apostles, and very recommended if you're doing the Great Ocean Road like we did, I hope I'll get the chance to come back soon!

The Manager Eric was great. There was nobody to greet us in reception when we arrived. Eric came to our door later and apologized for the lack of people. He suggested several things to do for the evening and also provided a device that was necessary to use the TV. The overall feeling was that the place was old and tired.
