We stayed here for one night after driving Great Ocean Road. Our room was very nice and clean. Wi-Fi was good and there were free parking just outside the room Our only complaint is that the exhaust fan in the bathroom was extremely loud. It was like turning a propel plane on every time you turned on the light in the bathroom. Other than that all good

Have been staying in Warrnambool for many years and tried lots of motels. This is by far the best. It’s a hidden gem. Friendly staff and very clean, spacious room. Plenty of parking space and a nice sheltered bbq area. Will definitely stay here again.

We had a lovely spacious king room with very large bathroom. Very comfortable bed. Reception staff were lovely and helpful. Television reception was very spasmodic and apparently often is. Easy walk to shops and eateries.

Nice big, clean room with a big comfortable bed. The only downsides were that we didn’t get a ground floor room and had to get our luggage up stairs which wasn’t much fun. Also, our room wasn’t that sound proof and we heard people coming and going, but it wasn’t too bad.

We had a lovely stay at Eight Spence, beautifully refurbished and spotlessly clean. Plenty of room and a lovely comfortable bed. The hosts were lovely as well and so much better to deal with them directly. Would definitely recommend as it was very reasonably priced.

I had a great stay at Eight Spence. The room was modern, very clean and the bed was so comfy. Such a warm and friendly host. Thanks for staying up and making me feel safe to check in late night as a solo traveller. The room had microwave, kettle, plates and cutlery which made it easier to have a meal in after a long day of touring. A short walk to the theatre, restaurants. Very quiet surroundings. I wish I had more days to stay. Thanks for the wonderful stay!
