It's amazing how many people can straight out lie about a motel. I have stayed here plenty of times. - The beds were ALL replaced with Sandman mattresses. And none are foam. - They do not even have a pool. - The water is clear in the shower - Next door is Bellarine Caravan Sales (they sell caravans) - They... More

My family stayed in room 19 at Corio Bay Motel we asked about the $75.00 and $85.00 deal sign out the front of the motel and the young lady at reception informed me that price was only for 1 Queen Bed, so not suitable for my family, so that was fine. We went to our room, to find it was... More

Run by very friendly people, great value for money! Very clean & everything you need from a motel room. Breakfast is an added bonus in the morning, my little girl is very impressed with the variety of breakfast cereals & there is fruit juice, coffee & toast available aswell. Very happy with service, will Definately be returning :)

Booked by 'phone for the 8 days across the airshow period and quoted $100 per night, quite competitive. On arrival told me first night would be $75 and others $100, so they dont try to get the last drop of money out of you (see my review of Aberdenn Motor Inn). Old budget motel, recently repainted and quite clean and... More

We stayed here on a saturday night. The girl at reception was fantastic and helpful. We were in room 19 on the bottom floor. The room while outdated was clean and comfortable. No trouble at all with road noise at all. The only downside was the handle to the toilet fell of and there is no basin in the shower... More

I stayed at the Corio Bay Motel on the 1st of December. I stayed in an downstairs double room with my friend and we had an excellent stay. From the moment we walked in we were greeted and told everything we needed to know such as the location of the room, a breakfast room and free wifi! As we were... More

The words, "appauling, disgusting, disappointing and upsetting" sum up my experience at the Corio Bay Motel but I will certainly elaborate. My partner and I stayed there last night because we had seen their promotional ad on "Wotif.com.au". The advert was saying how wonderful and cheap the place was. Cheap, perhaps. In my opinion, over charged. We booked a Queen... More

I stopped over at this motel during the way to the great ocean drive I took in AUS, the locale is near a railway crossing and there's also a fuel station nearby- handy for filling up the gas tank. The rooms were nice and clean, with provisions for making coffee and also had a fridge. The beds were nice. The... More

We stayed at this motel due to it being close to Avalon Aiport for our early moring flight. The room itself was quite clean however the bathroom had a very strong smell of urine. It was so off putting that i could not actually shower in the morning. It is a cheap motel but not worth the money. It was... More

I stay in this motel a couple of times a year-staff are friendly and room rates are some of the best in Geelong. It is on the outskirts somewhat but a easy drive to many restaurants and the city. It is not 5 star but clean and well kept with fridge in room. Often full on weekends so book ahead-a... More
