Bed very hard tv only 1 channel as remote not working shower no rose only hand held the room other wise good but definitely not an executive suite dated and should be down graded to king room and no lift so elderly customers have to climb stairs
Certainly nothing like in the online photos. Boasts sea views but from our room only if you were over 6ft and could look over the top of the roof and airconditioning vents. Although very clean, check in staff not interested, room dated. Place meant for suitcases had microwave. Bathroom very old but clean. We have spent 10 days travelling to a different town each day and this was definitely the worse and most expensive.
Great access to the shops and beach.
Just a few small things about the apartment – the room smelt musty – there was no hand towel provided for basin area. The lock on the Veranda door was quite hard to open – the tap on the Hand basin was quite stiff and a bit tricky to adjust. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.
This property is very old and needs a renovation, especially the bathroom (the water temperature in the shower is hard to adjust). Overpriced for the poor condition of the room. I would look elsewhere if staying in the area. Location is good and it served its purpose for a one night stay, hence 2 stars.
Add said queen size bed but it actually was double bed plus a single

The property is on Great Ocean Road in the heart of the Lorne beachfront. It has easy access to restaurants, shopping, and the ocean. Surprisingly, it is quiet after 9:30 p.m. in January—a very family-friendly area. The staff at the motel were very friendly. The room was spacious, with added touches of silverware and real wine glasses. The finishings were a little tired but it did not detract from the comfort of our stay.
Although the rooms have had a low-cost makeover, they are still clean, presentable, and very comfortable. Just not … posh. The location is fantastic, service great, and the cockatoos polite (mostly). LOL
This property far exceeded our expectations and we’d stay here again for sure.
Our only suggestion for improvement is to get rid of the carpet and put in a hard surface floor which won’t keep odors.
