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!

The Motel is clean, very comfy bed and the view is amazing, but they will need to clean up the trees around as they are hitting the building and the roof , we had a very strong winds on first night and we couldn't have much sleep due to the noise of branches hitting very hard the side wall of the building and the roof. Other then that is a great place to stay.

A somewhat older motel but very clean and comfortable with a lovely view of the ocean. Some mugs for tea and coffee would be welcome instead of the small cups and saucers provided.

Great location and good value for money.

The location and view are outstanding, The property is showing its age but the tariff reflects that, and is great value for the price paid. The owners are very friendly and go out of their way to make sure everything is fine for your stay. We are already repeat customers and will be sure to return.
