Stayed at Zorba Motel so that we were close to the centre of Bateman's Bay. Wasn't sure what to expect, being an older motel - we were pleasantly surprised. Service was friendly, helpful and always with a smile - made you feel welcome. Rooms are ageing, but clean, neat and comfortable. Bit of DJ/band noise from a nearby establishment on... More

Previous Trip Advisor reviews have been more or less accurate (though a couple have been unfair). Yes, this property is a bit dated, but our room was absolutely immaculate, had an outstanding location, and was far more spacious than some more expensive properties (we looked at 4 different places before choosing to stay here). From the moment we checked in,... More

Zorba motel is like staying at Nanna, room is a bit tired but is all clean and tidy. The bathroom should be dispatched to the tip, ours was too old by about 15 years. Breakfast at Quick stix cafe was great to start the day! We would stay there again anytime :-) :-)

We stayed for 2 nights. Lady in reception was very friendly and let us inspect rooms before checking in. Whilst old and in need of refurbishing the rooms were clean and quite large. They all look out over the bay and have balconies. It is also only a 1 minute walk to the Sailors Club and shopping centre is out... More

The Zorba has a great location on the edge of Bateman's Bay, with water views and easy access to the pubs and shops of the town. Its facilities are dated and, while clean, are as far from new as Grandma's living room furniture. It's comfortable, We have stayed 3 times and its the best in Town

This place was extremely convenient and affordable! I stayed late Jan with two friends in room 7, It had everything we needed for a quick stay in Batemans bay. The breakfast for $9 was such a good bonus after a night out. The bathroom was spotless and the decor was compact and comfortable, We loved sitting in the garden and... More

I think the Bairnsdale Motel has ruined me for motor inn type accommodation. They set a new standard for this type of accommodation that I haven't seen anyone come close to yet. So, having said that, the Zorba is a fairly decent but slightly dated motel. Beautiful views across the Clyde river and being right in the middle of town... More

Although motel on waterfront, family rooms are at the side and rear with main window overlooking carpark and a tiny, tiny window to the front giving the room a dark cavelike feel. Rooms and furniture very dated, beds too squashy to sleep on. Sheets threadbare, towels stained and sink in room 13 a health hazard - originally yellow/cream, but now... More

In a central and quiet location ( both in the centre of the township and on the waterfront), Zorba's Motel is true to its three star rating. Whilst showing its age, the motel has well maintained and clean rooms with all of the features expected of its rating. Internet access is provided and TV reception (but not the radio) is... More
