I found this motel to be a convenient stopover before my flight, with a comfortable room and great air conditioning. While the owners were friendly and the property was clean, I did struggle with noise from the road that made it hard to sleep. Overall, it offered good value for the price, but noise levels might be an issue for some guests.

I had a pleasant stay at this motel, perfectly suited for my needs as a stopover before an early flight. The owners were genuine and welcoming, and the room was clean and spacious with a comfortable bed. A downside was the noise from the nearby main road, which made for a less-than-ideal night's sleep. However, the value for money is hard to beat, especially for those traveling along the Great Ocean Road.

I stayed at this hotel with my friends and found it to be a decent value for money. The owner was very accommodating and even gave us a better rate than what we saw online. While the room was comfortable and somewhat cozy with nice heating blankets, the overall ambiance felt a bit dated. It's not the nearest to major attractions, but it served as a good base for our excursions.

While it's a short drive to local supermarkets and fast food spots, it's not ideally located near the beach or city facilities.

My recent stay at this motel was quite a mixed bag. It had a clean and comfortable atmosphere, with well-maintained rooms that exceeded my expectations. However, external noise from traffic did disturb my sleep, and that was a bit of a downside. The service was impressive, with the staff being very accommodating and attentive to my needs, especially given my late arrival. Overall, a decent stay with some pros and cons to consider.

This hotel offers a clean and spacious environment with great amenities. My stay was pleasant overall, especially due to the comfortable bed and the effective air-conditioning. However, I did find the traffic noise to be quite disruptive for my light sleeping. Nevertheless, the value for money is good, considering the level of comfort provided.
