Stayed there for a night. We couldn’t sleep well as it was quite noisy. The WIFI signal was not reliable.
Was convenient for our great ocean road drive and the kids enjoyed the pool. Comfortable and clean.

For the price, the room was very basic. On the plus side, there were heating pads for the beds and the staff friendly. The bathroom was small with an open window section for ventilation - which made it very cold (we were there in the late winter).
No staff onsite which was fine, the room key was under the door mat. The room was tidy but had quite a few ants. The main downside is that you can hear the neighbouring rooms talking, using the microwave, watching tv etc. so wasn't the best sleep.
The best budget option in the area with all neccessaries.

Booked a stay during the middle of June for work. Room was decent overall but the lack of some soundproofing did hampen the evening. Will definitely return again.

Quick check in and check out with is great. Okay accommodation if on budget. Location was good. Close to Apollo Bay main street with all the restaurants. Room was spacious and heating was very good and quiet. Room was outdated, could use immediate improvements such as sealing of doors and windows to stop heating from escaping. There were obvious gaps in the front door and also in our bathroom window so we had to keep heater on. Investing in sealing these holes would save the motel in the long run. Also the drinking glasses were dirty as well with finger prints and smudges.
The beds were very comfortable, and everything was extremely clean. The shower was fantastic with great pressure and heaps of hot water. For basic accommodation, it was far better than we were expecting. We would happily stay again.
Great option for a short stay. Easy parking and convenient access to The Otways, it was just what we needed on our road trip. There are no dining facilities, but Apollo Bay is just 5 mins drive and has plenty of options (check out Little Crumb Bakery for the best breakfast you have had in a long while!). Beds were comfortable and the room was warm, with plenty of hot water for showers. A fridge with freezer section was handy to keep the ice blocks frozen overnight for our chilly bin. We didn't use much else as we were up and out fairly early and back late in the evening. Would highly recommend this as a place to stay if you are visiting The Otways.
This property was easy to find and the check in process was super smooth. This is a very short distance from Apollo Bay and a bit cheaper than properties in AB. It was perfect for our needs.
