My partner and I stayed here for two nights (Saturday-Monday) as I was running the Great Ocean Road Marathon on the Sunday. When we checked in Angela was extremely friendly, giving us a map of Lorne with amazing food suggestions, I think we got 20 different restaurants pointed out on the map! Ate at two of them and I can... More

Only stayed one night as that was all we needed. We will stay there again for longer at some stage in the future. The motel is at the Melbourne end of town, 100 metres from a supermarket and another 100 metres to the start of the Lorne shopping strip which extends for the best part of a further kilometre. We...

Dear HeyMcFIYouBojo, Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, we have not met your expectations. My first reaction is to consider that you have reviewed the wrong property. That is something I cannot ascertain. The centre of town is 400 metres from our door step. If that takes you 15 minutes then so be it! The Supermarket is 50 metres &... More

My wife and I stayed there and really enjoyed the situation. Terry is a wonderful host -- very knowledgable and vivacious. Ask him about the kookaburras and the koalas. The rooms are of good size, updated and nice fit out. A couple more items to fit out the kitchen would have been appreciated. Thanks so much.

This is not a 4 star hotel but deserves a 4 rating for what you get for the price you pay. The room was clean and the facilities more than adequate. The staff were very helpful. The location was just a little out of town. Easy walking distance though and close to the supermarket for those evening essentials. Thank you.

I am loathe to give negative comments on this motel because the owner/manager was so friendly and helpful. But it is an ugly building, squeezed on to a long narrow site with a high bank at the back and the view of a caravan park at the front. Our room (number 1 - an accessible room), was totally satisfactory but... More
