Detailed Reviews
We stayed at Port Albert Motel for two nights as part of a group, the beds were comfortable and it had all the essentials, but a hair dryer would have been good. On the first night the people in the room next door were having some drinks and a big argument broke out. They were loud, but it demonstrated how much noise travelled through the rooms - we slept poorly. We told the hotel management though and it seems they sorted it out, because the second night was much better. They offer limited food delivery with a nearby cafe/tuck shop, but we werent sure what hours they operated on the days available, so this could be made clearer.
A good place to stay if you're spending time in Port Albert. Thanks

Sorry that your stay did not quite meet your expectations and thank you for your feedback. Since your stay we have had insulation installed which has assisted with noise transfer between rooms. We have hairdryers and other items such as Irons, ironing boards, etc which are available on request (free of charge). Please don't hesitate to contact our Manager Denise on 0448 789 177 to request additional items. Overall I am glad that you found Port Albert Motel to be a good place to stay with comfortable beds and all the essentials.

Enjoyed this motel, Just near the wharf at Port Albert , very quiet, spacious, clean adding nice small touches to make you feel relaxed and enjoy your stay more. Nice walks close by and overlooking Wilsons Prom in the distance. Friendly and helpful host. Would recommend this motel if you want a quiet relaxing time. We went during the week maybe weekend it could be busy.

We booked this motel for a night due to its proximity to Wildfish Restaurant where we had booked for dinner. The motel is a three minute walk away and so very close by. We didn't meet Denise, the host, which was not a problem, everything was done via the phone. We tried to book a king room however these had already been booked. Instead had a queen room which had a queen bed, single and a set of single bunk bed which makes the motel a very reasonably priced option for a small family. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and well equipped and adequate for our needs being a place to sleep. Would recommend especially if visiting Wildfish Restaurant.

Have stated here a few times...perfect base for Wilson's Prom cruises and exploring this part of Gippsland. Denise is so good to deal with .. she confirmed our room quickly for spur of the moment getaway. The rooms are spotless, bed in comfy and really appreciate the crockery, cutlery, toaster etc as limited breakfast options in Port Albert. Will stay here again when we do Prom cruise in summer. Recommend you book direct.

We stayed here as a stopover and although the exterior of the motel is very dated the room was fine. It was clean and tidy and the bed was very comfortable
The noise from the adjoining room was annoying as the sound came right through the wall.
Nice and close to the town centre too.
The owner was very helpful as well.

On the plus side the rooms have been updated somewhat, but the bones are still very much in the 1970's.
From the street it isn't much to look at - a small row of rooms facing a car park and a yard.
The rooms were adequate - it worked, but if you are expecting luxury then adjust your expectations.
The issue is that there aren't a lot of accommodation options in Port Albert.
We loved Port Albert so we were prepared to deal with an average motel.

Surprisingly good, does not look much from outside but the rooms are updated, clean and spacious. We thought there may even be new mattress, pillows and bed linens. Well equipped for those who want to self cater and you just might as there is nowhere to eat in Port Albert at night, except the fish and chip takeaway.
We booked to stay entirely because of the Wildfish restaurant for which we had a booking. We were somewhat shocked on our arrival to find the restaurant closed and up for sale. Nobody had bothered to let us know.
Nevertheless we enjoyed the area, did some of the coastal walk and had a fabulous brunch at the only cafe in town.
Highly recommend this motel

Extremely happy & relaxed after our stay at Port Albert Motel. Absolutely stunning location & incredible views, the room accommodation was clean, comfortable & well appointed, extremely helpful Manager - nothing was too much trouble! Motel appears to be upgraded since our previous stay incl. fresh paint, Air Conditioning & Heating units, new lighting and carpets also. Great Wifi & Mini Bar too! Easy stroll across the road to fish off the Jetty. Took our boat down and plenty of parking at the Motel for the boat, plenty of fish caught on the water also! We loved our stay & will be returning again soon.

Come across this venue by Chance and found it to be a absolute gem! The two rooms we stayed in where lovely and the atmosphere was just what the Dr. ordered for a weekend get away. Great fishing off their pier as well all the amenities they offered. While our trip was cut short due to yet another covid lockdown. We will 100% be staying with them again in the future. I fear writing too much being I would love to keep this place off the grid being I qould hate it being booked when I want to go back! :)
