It was fine for what it was but very basic and my room on the front wasn’t the quietest, what with it being right by the stairs.
If I had to stay again it wouldn’t be a problem but I do think it was overpriced for the time of year.

It was not only convenient, the bed and bedding were fantastic. The kitchenette had more than one would expect in a motel. Everything was impeccably clean and well maintained.
Just one minute away from lots of eateries… highly recommend

Quick check in and check out.
Friendly staff. Great view! Close to the main street of Port Campbell.
Very comfortable stay with comfy mattress and pillow, couch, good room insulation with heater from split system. Clean room and hot water was good as expected.

Booked this property as it had charging facility for electric cars. Only issue is that the hotel does not keep people’s car rego’s and when I went out someone parked in the charging spot. So I could not charge till the morning.

This motel is in a beautiful quiet spot with no thru traffic, and the rooms are very quiet too. The owners are incredibly service oriented, upgrading our room over the smallest glitch with keys. Fresh rooms with good quality fittings and a lovely surprise find better than the usual motel accomm. Absolutely recommend!

Staff were great… Room was good, with good facilities. Slept pretty well overall.
We could hear a ‘buzzing’ noise during the night, unsure if it was the fridge, the heat pump or the laundry.
No sensor on the light in the stairwell which made it difficult to bring bags down in the early morning.

The tap over the kitchen sink was very loose and we had trouble getting hot water sometimes. Bed was very comfortable. Only a short walk to the shops and cafes.

Reception sign said staffed from 2pm, had to call to get staff attendance to collect key. Easy parking, easy walk to dining options, no outdoor sitting option and lots of rules/conditions e.g. empty all rubbish into outside bins, wash utensils, plates etc so as not to incur further fees (?)- thought this would be included in daily rate.
