"We had a great stay at the Waterfront motor inn! The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making it a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. It’s conveniently located right in the center of town, yet it’s also very quiet, so we were able to rest well. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay, which made the experience even better. We had a wonderful time here and will definitely come back again!"
"Stayed for one night and had a great experience. Great location, close to the beach and apollo beach! Room was clean and had amnesties. A microwave would be nice to have though. I recommend this if you want to stay in apollo bay and while on great ocean road trip."
"A clean and spacious motel with all that was needed for a night away. The bathroom was ample size and there was additional space for meals and storage as well. Right on the foreshore in the heart of the action."
"There are two new villas, each with its own entrance.
Self-service check-in, which is not visible on Ctrip's page
When I arrived that day, I found a message from the store asking me to check my mailbox.
QQ mailbox signal is not good and can't log in
I contacted customer service and the problem was solved quickly. The store also responded quickly.
In fact, I wanted to confirm before I left, but I didn’t find the store’s email address.
When you go to customer service, the robot will tell you to call the hotel's Internet number.
I hope people who order in the future will keep an eye out."
"Great easy to find location. It just take about 5 mins walk to the nearest food area. 2 mins to the beach. Will recommend families if your on a budget."
"It's a motel, so don't expect a four-star standard. Located facing Apollo Bay, the top-floor sea-view rooms boast a large balcony – perfect for watching the ocean during the day, stargazing at night, and listening to the waves. The room is well soundproofed; once the balcony door is closed, it becomes very quiet. However, the air conditioning in the living room was broken, and the hairdryer was also out of order. The two-bedroom apartment is spacious and comes with a kitchen and a washing machine. On the downside, no slippers or other toiletries were provided, though shower gel and shampoo were available. A significant portion of the room cost was covered by Ctrip points, which was a great perk."
"I live with two families of relatives in a total of four bedrooms, which can accommodate 8 people. There are two kitchens upstairs and downstairs. There is a partition on the first floor, which can be opened to form a complete set. It is nice to drive to the nearby supermarket to shop and cook some simple food by yourself. The hygiene is very clean and there are laundry facilities. It is very suitable for traveling with a large group of people."
"Perfect location to stayover after long drive from Sorento to Queenscliff to Apolo Bay. Recommend to have a good rest and continue the other half journey of Great Ocean Road the next day. Onsite parking available. Nice Apolo Bay seaview when having my breakfast😁😁"
"Must give all five stars!!! The room is clean, spacious and bright, and each of the three rooms has its own characteristics, especially suitable for family travel or friends. There is a lounge downstairs with free coffee. There is a supermarket outside, and you can walk to the beach and various restaurants. Even the local friends who accompanied me kept sighing that the hotel was perfectly chosen. In addition, I want to say that the owner is very friendly. I accidentally broke a plate and wanted to compensate, but the owner said to me very nicely: Don't worry, it's okay, no compensation is required. It warmed my heart instantly. I strongly recommend it to friends who come to the Great Ocean Road and Apollo Bay."
"The owner is Chinese, which made communication easy, and the location is also good. However, the facilities are quite basic, feeling more like a guesthouse, so it's only suitable for a short 1-2 night stay."

Amazing
ZZGlilyThe house is about 2-3 minutes' drive from the center of Apollo Bay town, and it is not far to walk there. The environment is very quiet. There are three rooms on the first floor of the house as a homestay. The landlord's family lives on the second floor. The landlord is very nice👍 and takes the initiative to introduce restaurants in the town and nearby attractions. The public living room and dining room are relatively large and tastefully decorated. The kitchen prepares coffee, milk, bread, cereal, fruit and other foods for guests to eat for breakfast. The bedroom has a bathroom, with a cold and warm air conditioner, an electric blanket, and a warm light in the bathroom. It is comfortable and warm to stay👍
KKatie Hughes PhDThis was one of the best yha we have stayed at. The room was bare but that is to be expected. The amenities, by contrast, were excellent: Two well appointed kichens with nice pans and plenty of space; A roof area and multiple living room areas; an herb garden and plenty of recycling areas; and the games and TV area looked brand new and not old and worn out . The kids enjoyed it and so did we. Highly recommended.
Bbeny_leeThis is my first time staying in a motel. The location is good. It's on the main street of the town. The room is also very big, but the heating and air conditioning is not very powerful.
MMinah Goes AroundHad a pleasure stay with sandpiper. Was surprised to see the reception office was closed but all the instructions were there. The team wrote names on an envelope and further instructions inside the envelope.
We went during the start of winter of our Great Ocean Road trip and homggggggg the wind!!!!! I kid you not - I joked to my husband for bringing winter jacket. There is no mercy! Haha. So I had to get a down jacket from the mall before the start of my journey.
Our room was closest to the reception but the carpark area was the other end of the venue (not that far lah) but with 2 huge luggages and 2 carry ons, it was a tad hassle ah.
Heating was slow and soft - bo pian ah. Rather have it then none at all cos at night, its really cold sia. No joke. The cold air from outside like hang out outside our room. The nozzle from the hair dryer broke. It wasn’t me ok. Luckily I wear hijab so just make it dry can liao.
Got bowl, plates, cups, kettle, fridge, tv (not smart). Basic for your short stay.
That’s all! Will come back to stay here if I come here again (:
Oh! They do have diy laundry from 0800-2000. Never try cos no time.
PParzLThis hotel boasts a fantastic location along the Great Ocean Road, offering breathtaking views of Apollo Bay during the day. However, the heating system was insufficient—while the living room had heating, the bedroom lacked proper heating, leaving us feeling quite cold at night. Additionally, the bedroom curtains did not fully block out light, so bringing an eye mask is highly recommended for a good night's sleep. Despite these minor drawbacks, the scenic surroundings and convenient coastal access make it a decent stay for travelers exploring the area.
蔡蔡As a motel, here is typical and standard. The store is very professional and answers questions quickly. The downside of the hotel is the price, as a motel, more than RMB 1,000, it is really worth it. So the disadvantage is that the price is not high.
QQingmanqiantangThe room is very big, with a large bed in the outer room and two single beds in the inner room. There is a small kitchen, microwave, toaster, refrigerator, many tableware and a dining table. The bedding is very clean, the car is parked at the door, and it is very convenient to take the luggage. I like this kind of motel very much.
AAnonymous UserExcellent location for a stop by along the ocean road, 15 minutes drive to Apollo bay, quiet little property located at the foot of mountain and facing the sea, with fantastic ocean view and interesting rock and sand beach
The staff were very helpful and friendly and the room of bay view is spacious with a small sitting room and all necessary utensils
People just need to bring necessary food and drink to cook for themselves as there is a bit distance from the town center
A little advice though: please provide air-conditioner for the accommodations as it’s pretty hot in summer in the room. It’s not comfortable and the guest cannot sleep well in the summer heat
AAnonymous UserStayed one night here during out roadtrip to 12 apostles.
Arrived late but managed to self checked in. Easy and convenient. Room was super impressive for the price that we paid.
There are several eateries just minutes away from our motel, and about 3 ‘mins walk to the beach front.
Would definitely recommend!
GGuest UserThe environment is amazing. The store upgraded us to a view room for free. However, the navigation was not very accurate at first. After arriving, just contact the front desk and wait for the receptionist. 🙂
