Beautiful location. The room was nice and the kitchen items are great.
One small thing: they require you to take out your own trash at the end of your stay. This is highly unusual for a hotel. It's not an Airbnb and this should not be expected.
Very happy with the property- located next to the beach, walking distance to shops/eateries, clean and room well equipped. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is the toilet ventilation fan is too strong, making the toilet freezing cold. Otherwise, excellent place to stay in Port Campbell.
Fantastic place, you can wake up and hear the waves crashing. Located across from the water, short walk from beach, cafe literally. I would definitely stay here again.
These people are great communication after reserving they explained everything very clearly gave us additional information. It’s a great value for a great place for family or a group of friends.
