Great location !!
The perfect spot to stay while exploring the amazing coastline and 12 Apostles.
Walk to everything you need.
Clean & comfortable.
EV destination charger available (only one though and 3 Teslas were staying the night so maybe an extra charger needed).
Would stay here again.

Southern Ocean Motor Inn 1 night stay
Location is good situated around amenities. But room smells dampy, quite a number of house flies. This is a 3 star hotel equivalent but quite pricey. Thank goodness I only stay for 1 night only.

Best spot in town
Great location and friendly staff. Sept with the windows open in a quiet neighborhood after band (weekends only) wrapped up. Useful laundry machines (bring your own soap) and great parking in front of your door
Great location in Port Campbell. Staff at Reception was lovely and helpful. Found the layout of the bathroom was not great - towel holders/hooks were not accessible from the shower. Light switch outside bathroom so light disturbed anyone in room during the night.

Great location
Great location with very welcoming and friendly staff.
The room could do with some maintenance like cleaning the exhaust fan. Also the list of rules in the room were a bit extreme.
The website also mentions to call ahead to reserve parking, this is not required at all. There is ample parking.

This perfectly located motel has views of Port Campbell inlet from all rooms and is directly across the road from this beautiful swimming beach, jetty and grassed areas.
Accomodation provides comfortable bed, simple clean bathroom and tea/ coffee facilities. That is all you need as this picturesque location is for outside swimming, hiking and short drives to the viewing highlights of The Great Ocean Road. Short stroll to excellent dining options.
