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!

We only had a short overnight stay on our trip along the Ocean Road. We arrived quite late but communication with ghe staff for a late check in was excellent and we had no problems getting into our room. The room was spacious with breakfast making facilities and a small fridge. The location is great for a stop along the Ocean Road as Apollo Bay has its own lovely beachfront, restaurants and cafes.

Nice functional motel in a good position to walk to beach and restaurants. Check in and out was via envelope and key drop so didn’t interact with anyone which felt a bit impersonal. The reception was closed for both days we were there and a Christmas tree was still visible!
