A great place to stay, clean, convenient and quiet location, close to supermarket. We were given an upgrade to a spacious renovated room upstairs. Some other renovations are going on in the property. Microwave oven, toaster, kettle and cutleries are provided adequate to have a simple meal in room. Guest laundry is available for use. Towels are nice and soft.

This was a great overnight stop along the Great Ocean Road. Is certainly set up for longer stays too. Slightly more firm bed, but still comfortable enough for a good sleep!

The motel was clean and quiet and in a good location for our trip along the Great Ocean Road. There were restaurants and a supermarket nearby which was very convenient. The noise curfew is a great idea!
