Very good

Great little place, convenient for the town and exploring the great ocean road. Beds are very comfy and room was very clean.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
The bathroom had no fan, there was a birdsnest outside the room so at 5am chirping starts.
The bathroom wasn’t really clean, there was hair in it still. Good for a cheap and quick stay as the location was good.
For an overnight stop this was perfect. It is close to the beach. There was no balcony and the picture on the advertising materials was for a different part. However, the room was spacious and met what we required.
Great location! I would highly recommend booking the ocean view rooms (we were only staying one night so we booked a motel room) so glad we stayed in Port Campbell - it’s a stunning, quaint town! Walking distance to everything! Our bathroom window wouldn’t close (broken) so a bit chilly when we were showering and the bedroom aircon (on warm) didn’t work. Other than that, we would stay again!
Stayed in one of the villas so cannot comment on the rest of the room types. Spotlessly clean and beds comfortable. In a great location too. The only downside was the unit was a little cold. Perfect for an overnight after a long day exploring the Great Ocean Road. Would stay again and highly recommended.
Quiet, private rooms with lovely outlook onto the bay. Easy walk to shops and restaurants.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Beautiful location. The room was nice and the kitchen items are great.
One small thing: they require you to take out your own trash at the end of your stay. This is highly unusual for a hotel. It's not an Airbnb and this should not be expected.
