We had a group booking for 11 rooms for one night last week and all the rooms were just great and we had no complaints from our group. The upstairs Executive Suite has awesome views from the balcony and a lovely lounge area. The Deluxe Suites have been renovated and are like brand new. The linen and towels are of... More

We spent two nights at Whale Motor Inn. Jen and Matt are the perfect hosts - friendly and extremely helpful. We had booked two rooms because at the time that was all that was available. We arrived to find a cancellation had left a deluxe suite - perfect for our family. Jen then made a few moves and we found... More

I stayed here for the annual ACT Charity Motor Bike run in March 2013, the friendly service and beautiful views were awesome, breakfast over looking the ocean was amazing. My room was the spa room, it was devine. Very clean and generous in size. Well worth the $$$. Will definitely come back here.

Well what a delightful experience at this very friendly, helpful and exceptional accommodation. As we have just acquired two puppies we had to find somewhere that would take pets. Couldn't have found a better place. From the time I walked into the reception I knew we would have a perfect holiday. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our... More

We stayed in a ground floor executive room. The lounge area was renovated and was quite comfortable. The small garden area out the front of the room was nice. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom in need of upgrade. One of the good things about staying by the sea is being able to hear the waves. Unfortunately the windows and doors in... More

We were in a room with a queen sized bed. The room itself was nice but equipped more like a hotel room (tiny fridge, no kitchen or counter) than a motel. The pool is right outside and most people have to pass in front of your room to swim which I imagine can be quite annoying at times. The room... More

On a road trip from Sydney to Melbourne we stayed in a wonderful motel, the Whale Motor Inn. Jenn and Matt were our front desk and what a great job they did. When our fishing day didn't pan out, Jenn made phone calls and got us on another boat. It was great. Then when a asked about doing laundry, she... More

A nice welcome on arrival, easy parking. We booked an executive room which was more than adequate, it stepped out to the open air pool area and a nice view of the bay. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant which has amazing views across the bay and the food was extremely good and served with passion. We only stayed... More

I have stayed here on numerous occasions, but the last two times the standards have dropped signifcantly. The rooms aren't as clean as they used to be and last time my bins weren't emptied during a 2 night stay. On the previous occasion I had noticed the glass top table in my room had a thick covering of dust. I... More

The motel room was very compact but had extras eg crockery and cutlery and toaster. It was surprisingly quiet considering it is double story. This is an older building but it is clean and maintained The pool felt warm and inviting but the weather wasn't. Had a meal at the restaurant which was quite expensive for the size. It was... More
