Detailed Reviews
I stayed here for two nights on a recent trip to Mornington Peninsula and the Great Ocean Road and was really impressed with this small motel. The room was spacious, well-equipped and spotlessly clean. The owners were really friendly and made me feel very welcome when I arrived. Parking is onsite and free. Rooms have excellent WiFi, a refrigerator, microwave TV and a small selection of snacks available for purchase. The many sights and wineries of the Peninsula are all within easy reach of the motel too.

Hi JBSTITCH, We really appreciate your 5 star review. Yes how lucky are we, just a stone throw away from the beach, shops, eateries, activities and we must not forget our amazing wineries. Hope to see you back some time soon. Warmest Regards, Josie - Manager

Extremely clean rooms
Wifi is very slow
Frank the Manager is very loud and quiet abrupt. My daughter hadn't even got out of her car and was greeted by Frank saying "you can't park here you must park over there". Not a very nice welcome considering we had already stayed for 5 days.
Room blinds are not good as too much light at night from the car park lights and the morning sun.

Hi Expert Traveller, Thank you for your review, we are terribly sorry if Frank was a little loud and came across a abrupt, unfortunately we had a few rooms that did not inform us that they were bring extra vehicles and therefore made it very difficult for guests to park in the appropriate spots. We had cars parked in other guests car park and were not happy that they had to park in a different spot. As you can appreciate with the large population on the Peninsula over January Wifi took a bit of a hiding it apparently has been a little slow at certain times of the day, but on the whole I think we managed quite well in accommodating our guests. Yes we are looking at fixing the blind issue in the next coming weeks, thank you for your feed back. We do hope that you still enjoyed your stay with us and looking forward to your next return. In the mean time stay safe and have a fantastic 2021. Warmest Regards, Josie - Manager

We booked this accommodation as a night stop-over on the Peninsula. Check-in was quick and efficient, as were check-out procedures (we left slightly after 7am and the desk was already manned). Rooms were very clean and very comfortable, with a private external entrance. Would book again if I am again in the vicinity.

We had a lovely stay at this motel. The room was spacious and very clean. They have a microwave, mini fridge, toaster, Tea and coffee facilities plus 2 small and large plates.
The beach is a 10 minute walk, and 25 minute walk to the pier, shops and many eatarys. We ate at the Thai restaurant next to pizza express and it was excellent. The motel is on Nepean Hwy so you can hear some traffic but it didn't bother us.

This gem of a motel is a sterling example of how a motel should be run and maintained. Our room was immaculately clean and well organised. There was not a thing out of place and the room gleamed with cleanliness. Even the remote controls for the reverse cycle air con and tv were stored in a plastic see through pouch. There was also a lift to the first floor to help when lugging heavy luggage.
Nicole is super warm and friendly. She makes you feel very welcome the minute you meet her. She described the motel as her baby and it shows.
Thank you Nicole and your very friendly staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. You made it extra special.

Clean, modern and comfortable in a very good location to explore the lower Mornington peninsula. Staff are friendly and helpful, suggesting local places of interest and eateries especially local wineries. A most enjoyable stay in a good value motel. Thank you

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed staying here. Although it's on Nepean Highway there wasn't too much noise. The beds were super comfy and the bathtub was something you'd find in a 5 star hotel. The only negative was the wifi didn't work we tried the two possible passwords on the card we were given and they didnt work (could still use phone but we spent a good a half hour trying to work out how to get onto Netflix - a small minus in our overall experience.

We turned up here yesterday to be told our booking had been somehow cancelled. The booking was made through Qantas and Qantas assured us that the mistake was the motel’s, which we agree with. As they were fully booked, the best they could do was offer us a hotel in Frankston, which is a 30 minute drive away at a minimum. We chose this hotel as we wanted to be close to beach and friends so the Frankston offer was completely useless to us. We had two kids in the car excited for a getaway after a trying year and we had to turn around and go back to Melbourne. There was no compensation, no apology and no care factor. The lack of customer service and care about the predicament they had left us in was appalling. Needless to say would never stay here nor recommend it to others.

We are very sorry that you had the experience that you did. There was a miscommunication between Qantas and us and unfortunately your booking was cancelled 5 months ago. We can assure you 100% that we DO care and did apologise and did our best to resolve the issue by sourcing alternative accommodation when you arrived. The Peninsula is extremely busy at this time of year in peak season, and the closest location we could find was Frankston. It is a shame that you didn’t stay in Frankston, as the accommodation was nearer to the beach than we are; it would have been closer than driving from Melbourne to catch up with your Peninsula friends, and there are heaps of child friendly things to do there. We do our best to try and keep our guests happy, even when mistakes are made. We found a solution for you, and you chose not to take it. We apologise for any inconvenience caused, and assure you we do care.

One of the cleanest places we've ever stayed at. We had a small issue with the heater and it was dealt with quickly and with a smile. Would highly recommend to stay here.
The location is close to restaurants and the beach although we picked the coldest weekend this year to travel.
The pod coffee machine in the room was a nice surprise.
