We stayed for one night in a double motel room back at the end of January. Mainly I can only echo the thoughts of other reviewers to say that this is a really lovely place to stay whilst on Phillip Island and is a great base to explore from. The location in Cowes is excellent and the town itself was... More

Stayed one night when visiting Phillip Island for the Penguin Parade. The Motor Inn was a good choice providing clean and comfortable facilities. The owners were welcoming and provided an excellent hot breakfast to the room. The Motel's bistro was not open during our stay and finding a meal late in the evening proved difficult. The Motel is well located... More

We're not fussy on hotels, as we want to get out and explore, and the Tropicana certainly met our needs. The managers were not concerned about our late check-in and our room had plenty of room for the four of us. I certainly appreciated the two single beds for the kids! The pool is small, but fine for a quick... More

On Philip Island, what I would say a cheap but great place to stay in! 20 mins drive to Penguin Parade , 25 mins drive to Nobbies. 2 mins drive to the nearest Woolworths (supermarket). Really spacious room, clean, comfortable and nice. Staff there are excellent in service! Quite a popular place to stay. Was there on a weekday and... More

We made a one night stop here in order to see to see the Penguin Parade. We selected the Tropicana based on other Tripadvisor comments and would confirm that this establishment provided value for money and service, indeed it ticked all the boxes. We received friendly helpful advice from reception and for the short time we were there found everything... More

Friendly and helpful check-in. Clean and comfortable room. A more spacious room than usual. The bathroom was a little run down. For example, the end of the towel rail had rusted. We got a very cheap rate over the Internet which made it good value. We would stay there again.

I stayed for one night in early December (so during their off season) as I needed to be on the island early the next morning and did not want a long early morning drive. The motel was well located, walking distance to restaurants and the supermarket. Check in was pleasant and efficient. with the receptionist providing useful advice on places... More

This is a very pleasant motel, in a good location, nice rooms and reasonablly priced considering its proximity to one of Australia's biggest tourist attractions - the Penguin Parade. The most outstanding feature of this establishment was their warm hospitality. Like so many others, we came to Phillip Island to see the Penguins and they were fabulous. We arrived at... More
