Motels in Victoria, Australia

The location was perfect. the bed was comfortable, but the amenities were way from the past and out dated the fridge had no knob to change the settings on temperature control. The bathroom shower was hard to control the temperature the toilet kept blocking up. The remote control for the air-conditioning was hard to work out with no instructions. Apart from the location and the comfy bed i wouldn’t recommend it or stay there again.

Centrally located with the convenience of food and supermarket. At the same time, the only inn with the best view in sight. We booked a sea view room and was able to enjoy a mug of coffee at the porch while enjoying the beautiful ocean view. Facilities are adequate and well maintained. The thermal bed is the best consideration the inn has offered for a comfy, warm sleep in winter. Best lodging I've stayed during my coastal drive trip.

I will recommend Tanjil Motel to family & friends. Motel was clean, tidy and rooms to suit many. Our family were very comforable during the stay and the motel owners were very accomodating. A variety of beverages on offer to purchase in the main office. We got breakfast in the morning too. Kids want to come back in the warmer months to have a dip in the pool and were very satisfied with the wifi and foxtel on offer.

I was arriving at the Tullamarine airport late at night, therefore I had booked a night at the Ciloms Hotel before moving into the city the next day. The hotel shuttle was very easy to book, just give the hotel a call once you have got all the bags and the shuttle comes almost every 15 mins. The staff at the hotel were very friendly, room is spacious and clean.

This accommodation has the best location - directly opposite Port Campbell bay - with its beautiful beach and jetty. And the shops and restaurants are all a short stroll away. The accommodation has been recently renovated and is spacious, clean and really comfortable. And for a change I could even access Freeview to stream something I actually wanted to watch. The manager is friendly and incredibly helpful. I had trouble with the heater (my fault) and called the manager (afterhours) and he turned up within a few minutes, smiling and doing all he could to help.

We had a house layout for our family stay, 2 bedrooms, kitchen, living and dining room. A very cosy setup and very smart details, like heating lights in the toilet (it gets very cold in winter and the nice warm lights in toilet helps with the cold). The beds come with heating pads as well which is a great surprise. The kitchen was very well furnished and we love the warm lightings in the house. Great decorations in the house, makes me want to do the same for my own place. Just a very cosy, welcoming place to stay. Great for family want to stay more than 1 night. Location is at Apollo Bay town and just across the beach. Near eateries and groceries. The place is so welcoming that you simply want to cook and eat with the family. Thanks so much for warm reception and thanks for keeping the place so cosy.

My wife and I recently stayed one night at the Sandpiper Motel, Apollo Bay in a King Room with Hill View (and you could glimpse the ocean from the verandah). I would classify the motel as a typical Australian rural motel. The room was on the first floor and was very spacious and included a microwave, plates and cutlery. The bed was comfortable. There is a free guest laundry with a washing machine and dryer which can be used by guests from 08:00 to 22:00. The hotel still uses individual soaps and shampoos (rather than dispensers) and includes a smart bathroom mirror. An interesting touch is that all the linen is monogrammed with the hotel's name. Prior to check in you are sent a text advising of your room number and the room key is collected from an envelope (with your name on it) placed outside the reception area, so we had no interaction with reception staff. At $122 for the night we thought the Sandpiper Motel was good value and would be happy to return. TC

We arrived late at 7PM and the receptionist gone. But they are very organised and no hassle at all. Love it. They left the message on my email, with a code number to take the key in the motel. They also left the phone number which I could reach to the receptionist directly. Room is clean, quite, spacious. Parking lot is easy. Love love love this place.

Location, location! Wow what a gem of a hotel in the heart of Warrnambool. The hosts couldn’t do enough for you & the room was spotless and comfortable. The hotel was set back from the highway so very quiet of a night time to sleep. The after hours checkin went smoothly & it was a short walk to restaurants, the Main Street & supermarket. I am a travel agent and would highly recommend this hotel for your next stay in Warrnambool. It’s a great little 3 star hotel and reasonably priced.Thanks Marty and Steve we will be back !

Large rooms, quiet place, couple minutes walk from Coles and other shops, an outdoor pool, rooms with spas and foxtel and you can place an order for breakfast by 9pm the night before. The breakfast is brought to your door; juices, yoghurt, cereals, eggs, spaghetti, sausages on toast and more and it is of a good quality. Great place and helpful staff

We arrived in Port Campbell after driving from Melbourne along the Great Ocean Road (highly recommended!). The friendly receptionist offered us a choice of cabins. The one we chose was at the front. It was comfortable & spacious and had a well-equipped kitchen. Price was reasonable. Free parking. I would stay here again.

The double room unit was spacious and well-appointed. It was spotlessly clean. The bed was comfortable and there were two lounge chairs as well as a small table for dining. The bathroom was luxurious with heat lamps and an adjustable flow shower head. The kitchenette had no sink but a plastic bowl was supplied for washing dishes. There was a laundry available with a small charge - $4 per wash/dry. There was a nice garden view and outdoor seating. Very good free Wifi connection. A small swimming pool was available for guests. There was ample, easily accessible parking. The staff at reception were very helpful and friendly.

My husband and I stayed 2 nights in the dog friendly, queen cottage, with a country view. We were greeted by a dog who was very friendly. The checkin was contact less. First impressions were already disappointing. We made our way to our 'cottage'. The garden areas were neglected and overgrown with weeds. The front steps were covered in fake grass, with real grass growing through it, nails popping out. The porch was dirty and small. There were overgrown shrubs in front of the verandah blocking any view. There was a plant, in full fruit, growing through the verandah known as Beladona or Deadly nightshade. A very poisonous ****. Not a good plant to have growing in a child and dog friendly environment. Inside the squeeking front door, with a lock that was less than secure, we were gob smacked by the unkempt and unloved condition of this accommodation. Curtains hanging down, grubby bench tops, unfinished paint, filthy light fittings with dead bugs in them. A tiny dining table with one placement cut in half. In the bathroom, the fan was not working, and we found the wiring for it in the drawer. There was 1 small set of drawers and 1 small cupboard. The double hot plate was not working on one side. The BBQ looked very uninviting as the cover was fithy and sticky. The bed was warm and comfortable but not a queen as advertised. There is NO restaurant or food served as advertised. There were no dog bowls or bed. Not even for water. The area for the dog to run around in was not secured by a fence or gates. Nor was the verandah. I have never left a negative review for any place we've stayed at. But the neglect of this place was unbelievable, particularly given the price we paid. I feel like it is falsely advertised big time. It's a shame. This accommodation has so much potential. We won't be back.

Booked accessible room. They gave it to someone else. Asked for them to find another motel with accessible room. Decided to move out people on accessible room without talking to the, they were not happy when could not get into accessible room at 11.30 pm. Supposed to be services apartment, nothing happ. No fresh towels, no cleaning bathroom nothing. The whole unit needs to be cleaned from the mould on glass slide door to the crockery to the carpet. Goodness knows when carpet cleaned last. The main door to hallway not sealed so not soundproof. Awfully noisey. So disappointing. There is cheap and plain accommodation but this was dirty, cheap and nasty and

This place was a breath of fresh air compared to the last 4 places I've stayed in the area. The place very very clean and tidy, the pictures are very accurate which is rare. Bed was comfy. The lady at the desk even gave me the choice of room if I wanted a room towards the back that would get less traffic noise or one in the middle She even opened them up and showed me. Both were very as clean. Super impressed would 100% come back.

We have stayed at this Motel on (3) three previous occasions for long term periods of up to (3) three months visiting Australia from our Central European residency. We would not return if it was not to the standard that I rate this motel . We take a suite which is pleasant in size spa and shower plus microwave oven and refrigerator all of which are maintained in a high level of over-all cleanliness. The large King size bed again was extremely comfortable and bed linen immaculately white and clean. Split system heating in the room is adequate for the needs of the changeable fickle Melbourne weather. Off street parking is not short in space which is another bonus to consider your stay. Incorporated into the motel building is a Indian Restaurant that is QUALITY and mid range in it's pricing. They deliver to your room or suite and you will not be disappointed at the sheer quality of there cuisine standard. We will return AGAIN to this motel when we visit the ”land down under” being Australia and trust you enjoy your stay as we have in our past visits.

We can not recommend this motel for a stay of more than 1 night. We had frequently stayed in the Yarra Valley Motel prior to covid19 and were very satisfied. When we booked we didn't realise the motel was under new management. We booked for 1 week and payed 169 dollars per night. The room service happened once in that week.I requested the bins be emptied daily a d fresh towels daily as the weather was cold and wet and the towels didn't dry.The bins were emptied 3 times and a banana peel removed but bin not emptied on the 4th day.Fresh towels were supplied 3 times.No vacuuming or bed making or linen changes occurred during the week.There was no net curtain over the window so for privacy the blind had to be drawn and light on.There was no drawer storage or bedside lamps. 4 coat hangers were provided in the wardrobe. The bed was comfortable and the reverse cycle air conditioner adequate.The shower and bathroom did not seem to be cleaned but the basin was wiped down 3 times. We were disappointed and do not have the same experience.

I paid $140 for a room with 2 singles and 1 double bed (family suite) We had room 1 which was the closest to the very busy highway. Pros None. Cons Where do I begin.... I have stayed in plenty of modest hotels and enjoyed my stay but this place is just a joke. Modest should not mean filthy ! I slept in one of the single beds and it was so saggy in the middle that it was like sleeping in a wheelbarrow. Springs were poking out and it was probably the most uncomfortable night I have endured... ever ! The room was disgusting as you can see in the attached photos. The chairs and carpets were stained and the bathroom tiles were covered in mould. The windows were dirty and the window sills had three dead flies on them. The fly screen was damaged and the winder ,window and screen were covered in dirt and grime - filthy ! The ”welcome” mat was damaged and worn and was surrounded by ciggie buts, dirt and leaves. The ash tray hadn't been emptied and had several buts in it. The couple next door had a 20 minute shower at 3 in the morning and the noise was unbelievable The traffic noise from the highway was so bad that even ear plugs didn't help to block it. I just can't believe the glowing reviews of this motel especially the ones saying it was spotless ( my photos prove otherwise) and at $140 per night I feel totally ripped off and we couldn't wait to leave. Buyer beware !

While the outside doesn't look so appealing, the room and the carpark and walkways were very clean. Comfortable bed and very clean room. Friendly staff. My stay was during the week and it was quiet; I slept well. During a weekend I imagine it may be noisier.

Room was very clean and tidy. Very friendly staff, reasonable price, fairly easy to get into CBD. Cleaning staff went above and beyond making up our room each day, even sitting up my son's special bunny in pride of place on his bed, such a simple little touch that wasn't their responsibility but it didn't go unnoticed. Thank you. Pillows are in need of updating, and a heads up that their was going to be power outage and a lot of noise on Monday night would of been nice. Overall very happy with our stay.

Recently refurbished old motel ,Clean,good ,shower ,bed too hard for me but a good quality sealy firm mattress ,walls between rooms sound proof but front window is not. Only normal TV channels. Couldn't get to sleep until all hotel guests had arrived and stopped opening and closing car doors. Great location and price as far as cheap places to stay. No kitchen ,only a sink and microwave. Bring your own soap and shampoo unless you like no name liquid soap. Heaps of room to do your morning stretching exercises.

The location was perfect. the bed was comfortable, but the amenities were way from the past and out dated the fridge had no knob to change the settings on temperature control. The bathroom shower was hard to control the temperature the toilet kept blocking up. The remote control for the air-conditioning was hard to work out with no instructions. Apart from the location and the comfy bed i wouldn’t recommend it or stay there again.

My wife and I stayed here for 1 night in early May. Excellent service by Karla who checked us in and couldn't be nicer.She was VERY helpful with our room and offering advice .She went out of her way when we told her we each had a cold and had little sleep the last 2 nights .She kindly gave us a quieter room which was perfect for us...we slept for 10 hours solid.Couldn't be happier to stay here and HIGHLY recommend it.Great Location and Great Motor Inn.

Rooms comfortable. Signs everywhere, including the greeting at reception, notifying the risk of setting off the smoke alarm. The risk of fines and the inconvenience was strongly communicated. From close to midnight and for the next hour of our stay the fire alarm went off. First response was the owner telling us it was a false alarm. The next three alarms were 15 minutes apart and no response was provided from the owner. Not only was this totally disturbing throughout the night, the false alarms left us questioning if the alarm was faulty. No emergency services attended any of the alarms and truly, the question is, is the alarm linked to a base system. Due to the overkill of communication about setting off the smoke alarm, one would wonder if the gentleman/owner is fully aware the smoke alarm is faulty and possibly illegal. The accommodation charges you extra by the hour if you attempt to check in early and then fire alarms disrupt your overnight stay. The rooms were comfortable enough, the continuous setting off of fire alarms produced a nervous nights stay.

Nice and peaceful location. Room was cool even though it was a very hot day so it wasn’t necessary to use aircon. Awesome mattress to sleep on - not too hard or too soft, perfect! Plenty of power points to charge devices, located at bedside as well as by dining table. Hassle-free check-in and check-out. Pokie gaming in the evening was fun. We would definitely stay here again.

A very nice Morel with spotless grounds and a room (4) that was large had everything u could ask for was spotless clean and like wise the bathroom Very large vanity area everything supplied As with all motels car parking tight but this room had undercover parking with better than average width . Be aware Booking .con advertises pay at property but Motel rejects this So Booking .com are not correct , the payment was taken in advance by Motel as per their policy Was not their fault but rather wrong info from Booking . Com !!!!!

Establishment is under renovation. Never the less, condition of room even tho it was between $105-$110 was OVERPRICED. Bed was comfortable and Tv was acceptable and Reception very friendly. That was all. Bathroom from the 1960s with curtain that never kept water in. flooded most of bathroom and bottom of bathroom door obviously had been water logged from the past. Bathroom door could not close it due to past swelling of water logged door. If it was priced at $75 maximum then this review would be unfair. But Overpriced and no mention of we are renovating.

Great hotel. Our room was upstairs. Clean, comfortable and spacious room. Excellent friendly staff. The location is perfect for a stroll down to the bay to walk along or into town to the many restaurants or shopping.

The hotel is right next to the highway and the transportation is more convenient. Parking is available in the courtyard. Eating and shopping takes fifteen minutes on foot. Quiet at night.

The motel is just up the road from the waterfront and big wheel, and close to restaurants, cafes and shops. It took about 20 minutes to walk from the railway station. The room was light and spacious, the curtains kept the early morning light out and the windows could be opened for fresh air. The staff were helpful and friendly and let me leave my suitcase when I arrived before check in and again next day after check out. The bed was comfortable and the cleaners had done a great job. It was not as expensive as many Geelong accommodation places and I'd definitely stay again.

It says that the kitchen is actually not the kind we imagined. If you need to cook it yourself, don't go here. The service was very good. The cigarette smell was very strong in my first room. I immediately changed my phone. Breakfast is milk, bread, juice and some cereals.
