We arrived a little early but were shown to our room after a bit of difficulty finding the resident staff and hesitancy over our booking. The room was set up well and was roomy enough. The welcome folder was not up to date and we had some misunderstanding regarding details about meals. We found the property easily, though had to negotiate the lines of traffic both ways as visitors to the "12 Apostles" entered and left the parking area. Unsealed road to the property had some potholes.

Loved everything about the place!

It was truly incredible! The service was outstanding, we arrived at 9 pm and everyone we met was so nice, we had dinner made by a lady who works on the property and it was delicious homemade chicken curry and slow-cooked beef. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed, the place is beautiful at night as you can see all the stars shine in the sky, and during the day you can enjoy the farm and feel like you're the only person in the place! The location is also good, 3 min from the 12 apostles, and very recommended if you're doing the Great Ocean Road like we did, I hope I'll get the chance to come back soon!

People were lovely and the room was decent other than the doors that were a little broken. The bathroom door was hard to close and it was very hard to get open again. Road to the motel is quite rough for a smaller car. Also very easy to hear neighbours, one person was on the phone outside a room near us until after midnight and we could hear the whole conversation.

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!

Comfy dog friendly motel

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.
