Great location, room and staff!
The rooms were very well appointed, the motel included all expected amenities, and the staff were very friendly. The location was outstanding, including ample parking, and a kid's playground.

Lovely little motel
Room was warm, clean and provided everything we required. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was clean.
Especially loved the fact that we could park right in front of our room and unpack with ease. There was no official check in/out desk, but staff were walking around and was able to assist. My only complaint was that we didn't stay for additional nights. Lovely location, felt safe. Great restaurant options around the corner!

Would highly recommend this motel, very clean, short distance into town, quiet area, free parking, comfortable bed and very good shower with lots of water pressure. Our kids loved the pool and playground onsite too. Rooms are very spacious too.
We loved our stay at Phillip Island and can’t wait to return!
