Certainly nothing like in the online photos. Boasts sea views but from our room only if you were over 6ft and could look over the top of the roof and airconditioning vents. Although very clean, check in staff not interested, room dated. Place meant for suitcases had microwave. Bathroom very old but clean. We have spent 10 days travelling to a different town each day and this was definitely the worse and most expensive.

Great access to the shops and beach. Just a few small things about the apartment – the room smelt musty – there was no hand towel provided for basin area. The lock on the Veranda door was quite hard to open – the tap on the Hand basin was quite stiff and a bit tricky to adjust. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

This property is very old and needs a renovation, especially the bathroom (the water temperature in the shower is hard to adjust). Overpriced for the poor condition of the room. I would look elsewhere if staying in the area. Location is good and it served its purpose for a one night stay, hence 2 stars.

The property is on Great Ocean Road in the heart of the Lorne beachfront. It has easy access to restaurants, shopping, and the ocean. Surprisingly, it is quiet after 9:30 p.m. in January—a very family-friendly area. The staff at the motel were very friendly. The room was spacious, with added touches of silverware and real wine glasses. The finishings were a little tired but it did not detract from the comfort of our stay.

Far exceeded expectations, would stay again!

Although the rooms have had a low-cost makeover, they are still clean, presentable, and very comfortable. Just not … posh. The location is fantastic, service great, and the cockatoos polite (mostly). LOL This property far exceeded our expectations and we’d stay here again for sure. Our only suggestion for improvement is to get rid of the carpet and put in a hard surface floor which won’t keep odors.

Excellent location to explore the beach, shops, and dining options, everything was very walkable. The location of the hotel is excellent. We had a queen room, #7 with ocean view and enjoyed the lovely sunrise over the ocean from our balcony. The hotel was older than we expected however, the rooms were very clean, the bedding was good and the beds were comfortable! The view from the small deck was a full oceanfront view. The only issue was the wifi. The signal is very weak and you could not stream anything using the internet connection. Everything else was great!
