For an overnight stop this was perfect. It is close to the beach. There was no balcony and the picture on the advertising materials was for a different part. However, the room was spacious and met what we required.

Fantastic location and friendly staff. Loved the outdoor BBQ area. We didn’t enjoy having to wash our kitchen dishes in the bathroom sink.

Great location! I would highly recommend booking the ocean view rooms (we were only staying one night so we booked a motel room) so glad we stayed in Port Campbell - it’s a stunning, quaint town! Walking distance to everything! Our bathroom window wouldn’t close (broken) so a bit chilly when we were showering and the bedroom aircon (on warm) didn’t work. Other than that, we would stay again!

Walking distance room.

The room was a nice size and is walking distance to everything. The bed was comfortable but the room just seems slightly worn.

Quiet, comfortable and great location

Stayed in one of the villas so cannot comment on the rest of the room types. Spotlessly clean and beds comfortable. In a great location too. The only downside was the unit was a little cold. Perfect for an overnight after a long day exploring the Great Ocean Road. Would stay again and highly recommended.

Beautiful location. The room was nice and the kitchen items are great. One small thing: they require you to take out your own trash at the end of your stay. This is highly unusual for a hotel. It's not an Airbnb and this should not be expected.

Very happy with the property- located next to the beach, walking distance to shops/eateries, clean and room well equipped. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is the toilet ventilation fan is too strong, making the toilet freezing cold. Otherwise, excellent place to stay in Port Campbell.
