Spacious, neat & tidy with amazing view of the marina & overlooking Raymond Island. Very convenient to hop on to the ferry to get to Raymond Island & spot some Koalas in the wild. We literally spotted 15 of them….one with a baby as well .

Great hostel with access to grassy area for BBQ

Amazing location with beautiful back garden & access to private jetty. Garden and outdoor facilities such as relaxing chairs facing the water, BBQ, picnic tables and grassy area are all very well maintained. Internal windows only have blinds which allow sun to light the room in the morning. A little inconvenience if you would like to sleep in during your stay at the hotel. Carpets also have stains and dont feel clean so we were wearing our indoor slippers all the time. Apart from those, we enjoyed our stay and will come again next time. Thank you for hosting us during our Easter holiday.

We LOVED this motel so much we cut short our Melbourne trip to come back for another night. It's perfect for taking care of my 85 yo mum while I take her on a holiday away from the nursing home. The room and bathroom access was very safe from any falls and had excellent amenities. It's worth taking the extra miles away from A1 and also taking the morning over to the island by ferry. At 85 my mum finally saw koalas in the trees. We will be back! Thank you.

Excellent choice all round! Tanya checked us into our accessibility room which was perfect. She was a delightful person full of knowledge where to eat nearby. Our room was spotless with every amenity needed to care for my 85 yo mother on her holiday away from the nursing home. It's next door to the ferry to the island and on the waterfront. Absolutely beautiful place. We will be back for a longer stay next year. Thanks Tanya for your joyful hospitality and care!

Lovely living areas

This was a return visit to Mariners Cove, and our first in the superior apartment. We love the property's location and enjoyed this spacious, very comfortably furnished apartment. The combined toilet/shower/laundry is downstairs, while both bedrooms are upstairs - a detail that wasn't clear in the listing, and while mildly frustrating for us, could be problematic for others. Wifi in the apartment seemed unable to support the streaming apps on the TV and cleaning in the bathroom was incomplete, but overall we enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return.

Disappointed stay

Unable to connect tv to Wi-Fi and staff couldn't help either. Apartment has very noisy flooring. Some improvements attempted with tiling, but lipstick on a pig. Shower very small and mouldy. Location good but couldn't recommend.
