Stayed overnight here as wanted to be close to the 12 apostles, which it is. I would not normally choose to stay at a motel but there was little other option in the area. Rooms were clean, modern for a motel & quiet with parking outside your door. Overall it was good for an overnight stop. More

4 friends driving from Adelaide to Point Lonsdale made this our penultimate stop for one night before seeing the sights of the Great Ocean Road. Very comfortable rooms and facilities, managed by very friendly and helpful owners. We were sorry to be staying for one night only! More

We stayed for one night on a tour of the Great Ocean Road. We were late arriving, but this was not a problem. The room was very comfortable and with all the facilities we needed. We particularly liked the outdoor seating area within a small well tended garden. We slept very well! More

John and Josie have a lovely place here. Great double room with plenty of space, table and sofa and a kitchenette. We had a continental breakfast basket which was a good cheap substitute for eating out (given how many times you find yourself doing that on a trip!). The owners, John and Josie, are very friendly and willing to help,... More

We stayed one night just before Christmas. The room was a small studio, very clean and tidy, with a good bed and everything you need for a short stay. Being less than 10km from the 12 apostles viewing area, its a good endpoint for an overnight trip on the great Ocean Rd. More

We stayed at this motel at the end of our day's driving along the Great Ocean Road. The room was clean and spacious, with a small, but adequate shower/wet room. There was some road noise at times, but we didn't have a problem sleeping. The continental breakfast was adequate. We were surprised at the small number of restaurants available for... More

Stayed one night here on our trip along the great ocean road.... the Motel is clean and tidy, we availed of the optional breakfast which consisted of bread, fruit juice and cereal on a tray. Post Campbell itself is a charming small place with a lovely beach and plently of restaurants and places to eat. The Twelve Aposltes are only... More

Stopped here for two nights while pottering around the area. Love this motel and would definitely stay here again: - Owner (John) is friendly and knows the area REALLY well after being in the tour guide business for ages before running the place. Invaluable advice given freely by him made our road trip that much more efficient and delightful. -... More

We stopped off here on our way from the Great Ocean Road to Ballarat. It was a little difficult to find - it is located opposite the police station on the Great Ocean Road out heading out of town and a little more than the advertised 300m from the beach. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Our room was... More

We travelled from Canberra for the opening of the Crayfish season. We chose the motel based on other reviews and were very happy. Each room has a small courtyard. Rooms have a lounge, Sat TV, A/c and a well equipped kitchenette with a good sized fridge. We found the room clean, quiet and spacious and an easy 200m to the... More
