The cottage is nice and clean and the view is very nice. Farm like feels, really like a retreat away from the city.

This property was close to the 12 Apostles and Port Campbell National Park. It was nice and quiet.
Very nice and secluded, the staff were lovely and it’s such a cosy little place to get away and relax with or without your dog also!
Only thing is it would’ve been better if the tv had more channels but it was great overall will be back again

Good . Very nice n clean
Best location
Easy check in And check out
This was the perfect place to stay for visiting the twelve apostles. So close and so quiet. We couldn’t have asked for a better reception when we arrived. Everything was perfect and the shower was unbelievable on a cold night. Couldn’t fault a thing
Amazing location, cute little ambiance. A quiet little heaven just in front of one of the most beautiful place on earth.
The owner are new (so disregard old reviews :) ), and have great plans to turn the place around with animals roaming around, feeding time, and vegetables to pick up directly on the ground. Will be an awsome place to visit as a family!

The buildings are old and the property is a bit off the beaten track. However the room was clean and warm, wifi good, shower hot and beds comfortable. A good meal available for dinner. Nothing flash but family very welcoming and surroundings pleasant.
The motel is only around 5 min drive from 12 Apostles. We stayed in a dog friendly cabin with a porch and big grassland in front of us. The cabin is very quiet and clean, and provide everything we need, including microwave, fridge, heater, cooktop, etc. Bed is very comfy. Highly recommend for people visiting 12 Apostles.

Cosy and quaint. Great location for a one night stay if visting the 12 apostles - as just down the road.
Step at front of bathroom quite hazardous even with warning sign on wall.

Convenient for 12 Apostles
Very convenient location for 12 Apostles. Clean, even if dated. The host was friendly. Quick check-in, easy check out. Tea, coffee, fridge, toiletries, towels provided, parking outside the unit. Ok to stay 1 night.
Great location at an affordable price 3km from the 12 apostles, comfortable bed.walls are very thin, could hear the family next door late in to the night and early morning, no milk for tea/coffee and confusing after hours checking in process.
