Good location on Bell Street, and close driving to the famous Bell's Beach. Very basic room which reminded me of travelling around Australia in the 1970s. It's a pub and a restaurant too. We had dinner and it was pretty ordinary to be honest. Service was also very ordinary, as if it were a chore to have us there as paying guests. Given its location and probably $ value, someone enterprising should take this over and renovate the whole place. There are plenty of cashed up boomers who would stay and spend money.

Had a chicken parmigiana for dinner and like other reviewers I was pleasantly surprised at how quick it came to the table. I was however not unhappy with the meal, it was quite eatable and the salad was very good. The meal was relatively cost friendly.
Where I do have an issue is with the ridiculously loud music that came from the disco held outdoors and reverberating inside the unit we were staying. When a comment was made about the noise we were told the next night (Saturday) the disco was inside. And true enough it was and the noise was less irritating. I fail to understand why you have an outdoor disco next to motel units very close nearby. Makes no sense.
I'd come back to the hotel for a meal as it was timely and good value.
But I will not come to stay overnight at the hotel particularly on Friday/Saturday nights as there is no concern for those who paid to sleep overnight. We had early morning commitments so it was made even worse. The noise (aka music with the same bass riffs for every song) was so loud the walls vibrated and the only good thing about the noise was it stopped at 11.00 p.m. But it is not good enough. The unit we stayed in was clean but lacked some things you get in other motel accommodation such as a toaster. There were a couple of other things but I can't remember them now.
The hotel has a lot going for it with friendly staff and being neat and clean. But if you are having guests stay in the motel units consider cutting back on the music volume or soundproof/deaden the rooms. Really was very irritating.

Good priced food, the service in the bistro was awesome, very clean and comfortable. The food was nice and tasty. A tip to the chef, the parmas would be awesome if you used egg wash instead of batter mix. See in photo, there was more batter than chicken. Other than that it was tasty. The wife loved her lamb Morrocan salad but there was a bit to much lentils.

The Hotel/ Motel is located in a good area for an easy walk to any restaurants or cafes. The rooms we had where located at the far end away from any road noise. The rooms were nice and the beds comfortable. Being a hotel/ motel you do not have to walk far for some cold beverages or a meal.

Well …. Travelled down from Melbs for a weekend away with hubby after a busy week of work.
Had dinner at the pub tonight spent $250 on food and drinks for 2 ….
Ordered entrees x 6 … flavours were good but seriously I don’t think they had any salt in the kitchen!!! It was bland … No seasoning on any of the food , the calamari had absolutely no salt or any seasoning , the lamb ribs no seasoning , it was the worst dish we had , the white anchovies no seasoning , the tuna was bland, needed a biscuit or a cracker or a crisp to go with it, the bruschetta was in need of seasoning!!! I asked the staff for salt and pepper but none came I wish I bought my own … seriously guys check the seasoning on your food as it goes out !
I’m a chef from Melbs just did 60 hrs this week looking for a weekend off from cooking, not happy with the results….

Went here to celebrate my daughters 9th birthday. Shocked at the ridiculous prices for all meals. Firstly the “kids menu” is only available for kids under 10. Other choices include things like 48$ steak. Not many options for kids over 10 with a guarantee they will eat anything. Not your regular pub meals apart from the Parma. I was going to choose the pasta dish but for 38$ hhmmm not sure about that so chose the Nasi goreng. Overall didn’t rate it. Won’t go back again.

We stayed in the motel which is a set of rooms tacked onto the Torquay Hotel which in turn is just off the main road coming into town from the west. The rooms are all the same the receptionist told me, and that means a double bed, a single bed, and a fridge, jug and toaster but nothing else. You can’t cook here and while the dining room offered a range of quality meals, it doesn’t offer breakfast either. There are plenty of cafes nearby, the in-room guide says. And indeed there were, so that’s where we went. Comfy bed, but all rather basic for quite a lot of money. Kept awake by a loud party with a thumping bass: not the hotel’s fault but it is that kind of area.

Awful experience. Food very very average and staff need training.
Went for a family meal and dropped family off at front so I could park the car. Walked in only to experience a a obviously untrained security guard suffering severely from small person syndrome.
Made it very difficult to join the family because the overbearing security guard was on some needless power trip. Aggressive and very rude. Needs training.
The food was very average and cold. Would not bother eating there when Torquay has so many delicious restaurants with staff that understand customer service. Severely lacking here.

The motel is attached to the pub where they have a DJ every Friday and Saturday. We had to listen to the music blasting into our hotel room for over 4 hours on a Friday night. Website says it ends at 11:30 pm but they went much later the night we stayed.
Other than feeling like our hotel room was in the middle of the pub and dance floor the rooms were nice and clean. WiFi is okay and free if you don’t have your own Aussie data plan which we did not.

You can’t hire bikes at the motel, however you can rent most leisure craft in the town. Might be worth doing and internet search, but I’d expect you could find bike rental within walking distance of the motel.
