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.

As advertised. Room was clean and has everything you need. Food options are walkable. Just right off the bay but can't see from room. My room was a little drafty as the door has no weather seal. Had to improvised one of the towels. Overall a nice experience

This motel has one of the best positions in Port Campbell. It is starting to show its age but still very good. Lots of room options from seaview to luxury new rooms.

Fantastic place, you can wake up and hear the waves crashing. Located across from the water, short walk from beach, cafe literally. I would definitely 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.

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.

Was disappointed not in new unit as per booking picture. Teatowel useless and you expecting to wash up. No TV channels was a bit of an experience, but free Netflix etc was great. Location is excellent. Rabbits galore at night. A real experience.
