Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
My new favourite motel in Warrnambool. Easy parking. Quiet. Nice easy access to the rest of the city. Friendly professional informative staff. Very clean and modern well appointed rooms and comfortable bed. Bus and truck drivers can easily park on the roadside right out front. Awesome motel.

Precisely as described: modest, unpretentious, and quiet (despite being located next to a highway). Perfectly comfortable apartment for a family of 5. It would have been difficult to spend the day indoors in bad weather, but the main attraction of this motel is its extremely convenient location and proximity to all kinds of amenities and tourist attractions. The second-hand bookshop next door was a great find! The heating worked well, and the water pressure was great. All beds had electric blankets which we found helpful. The beds were comfortable enough, but the sofa deserves an upgrade. The owners were also extremely friendly and gracious.
In essence, this is a no-frills place that we would return to as a family.
Thank you!

Very good solid accommodation . Clean on the outside and inside with excellent refurbishments in lounge, 2 bedrooms, and shower . Kitchen is big enough and serves the purpose for small meal preparation.
Free wifi works well and generally a really good option close enough to walk to town if one desires.

We stayed two nights at the Blue Whale. Room was a good size, parking was at the door and we were close to town and attractions. Staff were very friendly too.
The air con was very effective, and we needed it, but during the night it was extremely 'drying' and uncomfortable so we slept the second night with the windows open, which was fine.

Excelkent location for our needs, and nicely renovated rooms BUT let down by the neighbours dogs that are at the rear of the property barking continuously 😖

The motel is in a good central location which is close to the main city of Warrnambool. Reasonable sized rooms with all modern cons which was very clean. Even though right on the main highway, didn't hear alot of the traffic noise. Friendly service on arrival. Enjoyed the two bedroom unit I stayed in. Parking out the front. Well priced. No hesitations in staying here again.

We chose to pay a little extra and stay in a Deluxe Spa unit and couldn't have been happier. The room was spacious with full self catering amenities and very comfortable. As for the staff, they were friendly and helpful. The owner even took the time to assist me with the operation of the washing machine. Nothing was too much trouble.

We just stayed for 1 night but it was in a roomy, comfortable 2 bedroom apartment. The motel itself is a short drive out of town but it worked perfectly for us. The apartment was at the front of the building, away from many neighbours with it's own car parking spot. If I was in Warnambool again, I'd stay again.

Stayed here 1 night on Great Ocean Road trip. Standard motel type accommodation. Large room with kitchen area, and a newly refurbished bathroom. Cutlery, plates, mugs and glasses provided. Room was clean and quiet, motel did not seem busy. Reception area very basic, although receptionist was friendly and helpful. Restaurants and other facilities a drive rather than a walk away.

This is a lovely motel. The new bathroom was sparkling clean, and it was so comfortable to hop into the bed with crispy clean sheets. The owners are lovely and very accommodating. The motel is quite central to town and the shopping centres. We will be back next year.
