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.

Great location !!

The perfect spot to stay while exploring the amazing coastline and 12 Apostles. Walk to everything you need. Clean & comfortable. EV destination charger available (only one though and 3 Teslas were staying the night so maybe an extra charger needed). Would stay here again.

As advertised. Room was clean and has everything you need. Food options are walkable. Just right off the bay but can't see from room. My room was a little drafty as the door has no weather seal. Had to improvised one of the towels. Overall a nice experience
