A somewhat older motel but very clean and comfortable with a lovely view of the ocean. Some mugs for tea and coffee would be welcome instead of the small cups and saucers provided.

Great location and good value for money.
The location and view are outstanding, The property is showing its age but the tariff reflects that, and is great value for the price paid. The owners are very friendly and go out of their way to make sure everything is fine for your stay. We are already repeat customers and will be sure to return.

Would not and did not stay here!!!
I didn’t stay for even 1 night even tho I booked for 3 nights and it was non refundable. It had a weird vibe and the bed looked like it had an old worn out foam mattress. The curtains were stained and falling apart. So many spider webs in the window and the bathroom was falling apart and the shower was so dark with a ratty plastic shower curtain. I walked to Apollo Bay and found a room in town that was more convenient and comfortable. Left my keys in the return box and called it a lesson learned.

The view, as the name says, was wonderful. It's in a little quieter part of town which we liked.

Basic room with poor TV reception. Unfortunately, not enough water pressure to get wet in the shower. We didn’t require much but a shower was impossible. Would not stay again.

There was spider webs seen everywhere and a spider in right top of the bed. Leaking gutters not fixed. It’s pretty average place for that price.
