In a quiet area and set in a well maintained garden setting, this was a real find for us. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room spacious and comfortable with car parking in front of the room. The Motor Inn was a distance from the shops and restaurants, but driving around the immediate area was no problem... More

Stay 3 nights in May 13 in one of the Spa units. Requested and was given microwave oven and free wi-fi access. However signal was weak and gets cut off intermittently. Reason given being the unit we were staying is further from the antenna. On our 1st night, we noticed that one of the lights was blown, the air-con is... More

We just needed a 1 night accommodation on Phillip Island at the last minute and I was lucky to find Tropicana Motor Inn. I didn't have high expectation given it's a Motor Inn and for the price I have to pay. Check-in was a breeze as well as check-out (what a welcome difference from some stuffy hotels with form to...

We visited during Easter break week and it was myself and my 11 year old. This room is an amazing location near all the attractions. There's also a very private beach right down the street that was really nice. I found the staff very helpful being that we were from out of the country. We were thinking about a vacation... More

We stayed 2 nights here and it was pleasant enough. The twin headed shower was a bit odd, one dribbled and the other dribbled a bit more. The only light in the bathroom is by the door so the shower was dark when the curtain was across. The bed was acceptable but not massively comfortable, was dipped in the middle.... More

We were there for 3d2n, and we were offered a free upgrade to a cottage opposite this inn. The name was Philip Island Cottages and instead of just a queen room, we also had a kitchen area fully equipped with utensils and cooking ware. We are truly happy with our stay, and hoped that we have stayed longer. Thank you... More

During a trip to Phillip Island we searched for a place to stay after the Penguin Parade. We found this very enjoyable Motel, situated few minutes from Cowes beach. The queen room we had was extremely spacious and clean, located away from the road so no problem of night noises. Owners very friendly and helpul. We stayed so well that... More

We stayed in a spa suite which was spacious and clean. The motel was very quiet as there was no disturbance from other guests or from passing traffic. There is a small outside pool and BBQ area. The staff was friendly and helpful in getting my internet connection working

Only managed to stay one night would have liked more nights on Phillip Island. Large room fully equiped with spa bath.very comfortable and quiet. Unusually exposed brickwork walls kept the room cool. Small but pleasant outdoor pool. What makes this hotel different, is Jim the owner who is most friendly, helpful and courteous both on arrival and departure.
